Three Back Lit Feather Dusters
I picked these plumes from alongside the road in our rural neighborhood and brought them home specifically to back light. The one on the right was the most successful because it was the thinnest, and the one in the center was the thickest and densest so was the least successful.
Strobist info: One YN560 bare on a light stand behind and to camera right, one Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and camera left and one Strobie 130 in a 24 inch softbox in front at camera right at 5 o'clock for fill. All strobes were in manual mode, and 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. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
