Glowing Yellow Lilly On a Purple Background
I found this flower while out and about this morning and brought it home to exploit. Specifically I wanted to use a background with the contrasting color of purple.
Lighting info: For the purple background I borrowed a piece of gray art paper from my wife and placed it behind the flower, and then used a purple gel in a YN560-II flash to shine that color onto the art paper for my purple background. I wanted the flower to glow so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the flower, camera right at 1 o'clock for the back lighting. Fill lighting came from a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox camera right and in front at 4 o'clock, and a small handheld mirror camera left. All three strobes were in manual mode and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I learned the technique for the colored background from a Gavin Hoey video at this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR0wu9Sy6GM
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
