Backlit Glowing Yellow Rose
I saw this budding rose in the garden this morning, backlit by the low sun. I decided to bring it inside and backlight it where I could control the light.
Lighting stuff: I used three Yongnuo strobes for the lighting - two for backlighting and one for fill. I positioned one light in a Rogue grid behind at camera left, and another light in a Honl snoot behind the flower at camera right. Fill light came from another light in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox in front at camera left pointing at the center of the flower. I set the lighting, in manual mode, one at a time until I got a look that I liked.
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/
