Reflecting On Poppy Petals
Yesterday all of the petals fell off of the one poppy flower that I had been photographing, so I decided to build my own flower, and arranged the petals on a mirror to photograph.
Strobist Info: Simple lighting from the side as I wanted to create the shadows that reveal shape and textures. One YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox about 5 inches from the mirror, camera left at 9 o'clock. I didn't need to use a black background because the exposure that I used - f 22, 1/200 sec and iso 200 didn't record any ambient light - just the light from the flash. The flash, in manual mode, was 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/
