Glowing Yellow And White Epiphyllum Flower - High Key
This is an attempt to backlight something that didn't really need much backlighting since it's basically white. It's a white epiphullum flower, with a little yellow, growing in a hanging container in our garden. I wanted to make the center glow, but by doing that I blew out the highlights, and lost most of the detail. Well, hopefully, I'll learn from my mistakes.
I lit this with two strobes backlighting the flower. A YN560 in a Honl snoot, behind the flower at camera left, and a YN560-II with a Rogue grid behind at camera right. Fill light came from a YN560-III in a 24" x 36" gridded softbox in front pointing toward the center of the flower. All strobes were in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Over the years, I've taken quite a few "Epi" pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.

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
