Pink On Green
This pink hibiscus was sitting in a pot waiting to be planted, so I decided to photograph it at a more comfortable height than in the ground by doing it indoors where it would be easier to control the light.
Lighting info: I wanted to back light the translucent petals so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the plant at camera left. Side lighting to show the textures of the petals came from a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box camera left at 9 o'clock. 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/9422
