What a Difference an F-Stop Makes

Photos from the Road: New Orleans

Sapphire Blue Cuban Lilies – scilla peruviana
I recently photographed some amazing blue and purple flowers at a local garden. According to the label, they are Sapphire Blue Cuban Lilies (scilla peruviana), which surprised me since they didn't have the structure that I tend to think of when I see a lily. It turns...
Only 31 More Days!
