Hibiscus On Red
This hibiscus blossom opened this morning, and I immediately brought it inside to photograph before it cooked in the heat that we've been having. The last two days were 106 degrees with very hight humidity. Not our typical weather.
I wanted a red background for it so I hung a piece of red fabric about four feet behind the flower, and then positioned a YN560-II with a red gel in it to light the fabric. Light on the flower was from a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the flower on the right side for a little back lighting. All strobes and my tripod mounted camera 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
