Succulent Flower With Glowing Center
I picked this flower from the garden this afternoon and brought it inside to exploit where I could control the lighting.
Strobist info: I wanted the center of the flower to glow, so I put a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind and camera right at 1 o'clock for the back lighting, and for fill I placed a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox, camera left at 9 o'clock for fill. Because the fill light was from the side it created the shadows that reveal the textures of the petals. Both strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might not hate my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/...
