Backlit And Glowing Purple Iris
This is a flower from my sister's garden.
Lighting stuff: I wanted even lighting on the front of the flower so I lit it with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box on either side of the flowers. I also wanted the back petals to glow, so I placed a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right. The strobes in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. The color for the background came from a colored gel on a YN560 pointed at an 18% gray background.
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. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
