Saint Patrick Rose Bud

I picked this rose bud early yesterday morning before the heat could do it in, and brought it inside to photograph. We've had a bit of a heat wave here lately with temps in the low 100's.

 

Lighting stuff. I backlit the bud by placing a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind the flower, at camera right. I then placed a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox at camera left to fill in that side, and then held a small mirror at camera right for fill. The strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

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, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

 

Other picture that I've taken of roses can be seen in my Roses album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157624084160734/
