Looking Up To A Backlit Bird

This is the same flower that I exploited yesterday in a horizontal format. Today I decided to go with a vertical format to give it a different look

 

Lighting stuff: This was a 3 light setup with 24 inch soft boxes on either side of the flower with the back edge of the softboxes lined up with the flower, and one hand held flash behind the flower at camera left. The three Yongnuo strobes were triggered with a Yongnuo RF=603N.

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1000 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
