Pollen

Time to move on a new theme for Today's Flowers. This month of May I am concentrating on flowers I photographed during my stay in La Union and my visit in Baguio City.

Today's Flowers

61/365 - Pollen

This lilium flower was part of the flowering plants my Aunt have in her little garden. Since she was in the hospital all day (she's working as a nurse), I was alone in our house with nothing to do. We didn't have Internet and cable television in our house in La Union, so the only way to "entertain" myself aside from writing was taking pictures.

I was applying the little lesson I learned about photographing flowers, I tried to take pictures of different flowers in different perspectives. Here I concentrated on the pollens, testing the depth of field of my camera. I am not sure if I fully maximized it, though, as I am only using a compact point and shoot camera.

It is a nice macro. You could have probably used a pinch more of DOF but it came out well.
