Purple Iris With Water Drops

This is a type of iris called a rebloomer, because unlike most of the German Bearded Iris varieties, it blooms all year long. More bang for the buck, so to speak. I photographed this in it's natural setting of our garden.

 

Strobist info: I used a manual camera setting (iso 100, 1/200 and f16) that caused the background leaves to go dark but still be visible. The light on our hero, the flower, was from a YN560 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box. The flash, in manual mode, , and camera, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF=603N. The black background is from a black disk.

 

 

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
