Description There've been a few minutes of sun and blue sky today - time to take a picture! I chose to photograph one of my Scilla rosenii - a rarely seen but highly elegant squill that produces by far the largest flowers of the genus!

This species is really well-mannered and doesn't spread loads of seedlings all around. So if you ever get the chance to buy some bulbs of this treasure - do not hesitate!

Full size view is advantageous! The contrast of the photo is slightly enhanced; flower stem and tips of the two petals at the bottom are copied from the unframed picture into the framed version.

Deine Motivauswahl ist erste Sahne! Und was mich noch mehr freud: Endlich mal jemand der wirklich was drauf hat (Motivauswahl, wie gesagt; Farben; Hintergrund beachtet; sorgsam darauf geachtet aus welcher Perspektive das Foto geschossen werden soll;...) und mal ne andre Kamera benutzt als die Canon

Nochmals vielen Dank! Naja, ich gebe mir halt etwas Mühe, aber dennoch bin ich noch weit davon entfernt, wirklich erstklassige Fotos zu machen - aber da ich "nur" ein Amateur bin, habe ich auch nicht so den Ehrgeiz.

Eine Canon hatte ich bisher nur im Geschäft in der Hand, kann also nichts wirklich dazu sagen. Welche Kamera benutzt du denn?

Schlecht sind die Canon's ja ncih... und das ist es ja...
Naja, ich hab ne Kompaktkamera (geschenkt gekriegt zur Jugendweihe x) ) --> die Casie Ex-s600 und mir im Dezember ne Bridgekamera gekauft --> die Fuji s5800 (zu mehr, hat es nach trotz ein bisschen mehr als ein Jahr sparen, nicht gereicht ) Aber ich wollte unbedingt auch mal was aus 1cm Entfernung fotografieren können oder/und mal Dinge von sehr weit weg, nah heranzoomen - ohne Pixelstörungen^^
Ich glaube das liegt im Auge des betrachters, das mit den "erstklassigen Fotos". Denn es wird bestimmt immer jemanden geben, der irgendwo besser ist - schon allein weil er eine bessere Ausrüstung besitzt. Und mein Anspurn ist ja sowieso daran zu denken, dass auch "Amateure" (ich mag das Wort nciht, da ich denke, man kann sich selbst auch was erlernen und muss es nciht z.B. studiert haben) erstklassige Bilder machen können... und solche möchte ich irgendwann auch mal machen --- also, Übung macht den Meister

Sie ist kaum in Gärten zu sehen. Auch in ihrer Heimat (Kaukasus) ist sie selten.

Danke schön, Elena!
