Backlit Yellow Epiphyllum
This yellow epi bloomed today, so it's at its prime now.
I wanted to exploit the luminous qualities of the petals so I backlit it with a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flower on the left side, and a YN560 in a Honl snoot behind on the right side. Fill light in front came from a YN560-II in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box in front at camera left and pointed at the center of the flower. All strobes, in manual mode, were adjusted one at a time until I got the look that I wanted. I triggered them with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of epis are in my Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
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. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
