Lilies are beautiful flowers, but I struggle with them as photographic subjects.

A flower on a lily takes up a lot of space.

Their flowers are large and expansive in every way.

The flower of a lily spreads out wide from side to side and from top to bottom. They even stretch forth from front to back.

I really like to shoot flowers close up and using a shallow depth of field.

I struggle to find a way to incorporate the lily into my style of flower photography.

Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm. ISO 400. 1/2500 sec. f/3.2.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today for this close up look at a Lily.
