Backlighting On a Red Calla Lily
Photographing these flowers, for me, is all about the lighting. In this case, I wanted to back light the flower to show the translucent quality of the petals, and to make the flower glow. It also provides some rim lighting. I positioned a YN560 with a Rogue grid behind and to the left for the backlighting, and once that was adjusted the way I wanted it, I placed a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box, in front and to the left side for a little fill light. The strobes were in manual mode and 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
