Pig Tail Calla
This is a plant that I bought today in order to light and exploit. I've done a fair amount of flower photography, and my personal choice for the flower that's the perfect photographic subject is the Calla Lily.
These flowers are quite translucent, so the first thing I did was to position a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind and to the left of the flower. I like the glow that the backlighting creates. I took a bunch of test shots to get the power output and position of the light the way I wanted. To light the front of the flower, used a YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left and pointing toward the center of the flower. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. The two strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other Calla Lily pictures are in my Calla Lilly album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/...
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
