My paper white stems grew really fast and quickly bent under the weight of the flowers. They are still graceful, however, and I often notice the new shapes as they fold and droop lower and lower. Today’s theme is mono, so I converted a photo I took this morning of my droopy stems to a black and white.
BTW for anyone interested in the Zone System, I metered off the green leaves at +1 (Zone 6)- and still had a few blinkies on the edge. It was probably a Zone 7.
Here is the black and white version.


These are both beautiful. And they don’t really look like the same photo with the different renderings. I think I’m favoring the black and white version but it’s a real close call. And I’m still scratching my head about the zone system. I set it aside over the weekend so I guess now it’s time to plunge back in.
