Excellent shot and well presented. Lovely DOF showing all the intricacies of the flower. Looks like a poppy - do you know what it is?
not sure what it was, but here is a white one looking it up with my google lens app it looks like the yellow one could be Yellow Mariposa Lily (Calochortus luteus) Typing in Calochortus brings up alot of similar ones
yep, with the M50 and efm 18-150mm its got some really good quality for a small set up, great wide, decent reach and focuses nice and close, its also got very good image stabilization for 1/6 hand hold across the focal range, its an ƒ3.5 to 6.3 so its not fast for low light action but it does very well hand held in low light
You're correct with the name, the white one is "Calochortus superbus (Superb mariposa lily)" and the first one is "Calochortus luteus Yellow Mariposa Lily" They are a fascinating flower with the many intricate parts like a passionfruit flower. Beautifully photographed and presented.
