Continuing with Trout Lilies from my visit to Emmons’ Preserve in Kennebunkport, Maine, this week. I keep looking for one I could frame against water, and eventually found this one growing close to a small stream, only 18 inches wide at this point, that runs down to the river below. I tried some close-ups and then backed away to use the telephoto effect to catch some texture in the water while keeping the lily sharp. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at 424mm equivalent field of view. Aperture program with macro modifications. f/22 for depth of field. The visitor (the bugs were active around the flowers) appears to be Lycidae (lace-winged beetle) of some sort (according to Google). Processed in Photomator.
