Calla With Leaves B&W

The Calla Lily plant that I bought last week put out a white flower today that I photographed with the idea of doing a black and white from it. This is in addition to the pink flowers that I've been exploiting.

 

Lighting stuff: I wanted to use back lighting as the hero light here because I wanted the rim lighting and the luminous glow that it produces. I placed a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind and to the left of the flowers for that backlighting. Fill light came from a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. The strobes. in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I set the power level first on the backlight and then adjusted the fill light until it looked right.

 

Other Calla Lily pictures are in my Calla Lilly set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/...

 

Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.
