Rapture 1: an expression or manifestation of ecstasy or passion 2: a state or experience of being carried away by overwhelming emotion b: a mystical experience in which the spirit is exalted to a knowledge of divine things.Calla lilies are such sensual flowers, all in curves and gorgeous glow, that rapture and rhapsody are the first words that came to my mind while taking pictures of them.
They are so elegant, feminine and voluptuous, they make a wonderful photo subject!

"People are like stained glass windows; they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within."
-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
I just fell in love with this quote, and thought it would fit perfectly this picture, with the light and blocks of color...
I love gerberas, they can be pictured in so many ways, not like the tulips! You have every possible angle and crop, and so many colors available...
Just let your imagination lead you, you'll see how amazing they are...
Lately I've hit a red streak, I can't tell you how it happened, but I've found myself having more and more red photos. In some comments I received people kept telling me how difficult it is to capture the color red.
What works best for me is natural light, but not too sunny, because the sun will add warmth to the red and give it a slight orange hue. A blue/white fluorescent light will turn it lightly purple. The best choice is natural light coming from a nearby window, but not direct sunlight. If you want to work indoors with flowers, using artificial light, you may change the white balance of your camera, or invest in a light bulb re-creating natural light. Those you can find at Lowes or Home Depot, they are used for indoor plants, but they work fine for photography too!
