Naked Ladies 2016
In researching this flower I learned that it has many names including "Naked Ladies". "Belladona Lilly and "Belladonna Amaryllis". The flowers are pretty and require no care, which endears them to me, as they pretty much fend for themselves, growing up against a boulder under a fig tree. These plants bloom in August every year, and the picture I took of them in 2013 has become my most viewed image on Flickr. Two years ago I photographed it again, and it became my second most viewed image I wonder if the title has anything to do with it. Hmm ...... Here is this years version.
Lighting information: The main light was a YN560III in a 24 inch soft box placed camera left and in front at 8 o'clock. I wanted the luminous qualities of the petals to show so I put a YN560-III in a Rogue Grid behind the flower on the left side at 11 o'clock for back lighting.. Fill light on the right side came from a YN560 III in another 24 inch soft box. 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 set. 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/9422
