Deep Inside The Purple Iris
This purple iris is a re-bloomer that blooms all year round. I brought it in from the garden this morning and decided to get in close on it by attaching my largest Kenko extension tube to my macro lens. To try and get as much depth of field as possible i shot at f/22.
The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera left at 9 o'clock, and about 5 inches from the flower. The light in the center came from a hand held Strobie 130 fitter with a Rogue Grid to tightly restrict the light to just the center. 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 album. 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
