vincentoiseau 83 Posted August 27, 2021 A close look at the pistil and stamens of a lily flower, shot in 2010 with a mix of natural and artificial light. The spill of reproductive material (which resembles kurkuma) and the gloss on the pistil intrigued me. This is a cropped image, taken with a vintage Olympus Zuiko 50 mm 1.8 lens. The aperture was f 11.0 (PN always seem to state 9.9). Your comments are very welcome. Link to comment
Bill Neubaum 13,359 Posted August 28, 2021 wonderful detail! ( that 9.9 aperture bothers me too) Link to comment
Giangiorgio Crisponi 690 Posted August 28, 2021 A very well sharp original macro of the stamens with the anthers rich in pollen and the pale pistil of this white lily. The lily symbol of purity and chastity in Christian iconography is reproduced here with the reproductive organs in full view with all their details , ciao Giangiorgio Link to comment
