Irises



Further to the recent spat of botanical pictures, today I took a few more. I'm not sure of the genus - species name of the flower, but they are a white iris variety. Tried several different modes on the camera and played around with some lighting, as I had to take the pictures indoors, out of natural light (it's been sprinkling or full-on raining outside since about 11 a.m.). The picture on the above left was taken in 'Flower' mode and came out with darker contrast than the picture on the right, which was in 'Text' mode. This lower contrast defines the flower outlines better and minimizes some of the shadowing. Yet the picture on the right looks softer, more natural... more inviting.
