Glowing Saint Patrick Rose
We have a bunch of Saint Patrick Rose buds opening now, and I chose this one because it had more orange in it than the others, and it kind of stood out.
I wanted to make the petals glow so I put a YN560-II in a Rogue Grid behind the camera, camera right at 2 o'clock. Fill light came from a YN560-III in front at camera right in a 24 inch softbox. Additional fill light came from a hand mirror at camera left. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. Whenever I use more than one strobe, I always start with the hero light and adjust the power until it looks right, and then move to the next light and repeat that process.
Other pictures that I've taken of roses can be seen in my Roses set, if you like that sort of thing. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157624084160734/
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
