Photo Essay: Let There Be Light!

by Mike Unser

One of the joys of iris photography for me is capturing the sunlight playing thru the blooms. It is especially dramatic just after sunrise or before sunset when the light comes in at an angle, making for intense colors and shadows. 

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the 2021 bloom season featuring sunlight.

'Treasure Island'




'Kathryn Fryer'

  1. I was happy to see 'Flora Zenor' there! So recognizable and unmatched by anything newer with the same coloration. I spent years, off and on, trying to ID this plant and was thrilled when one day I did.
