Glowing Naked Ladies
This came from our garden today. 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's a back lit one from this years bloom.
Lighting stuff: I wanted the flowers to glow so I back lit with a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left and an identical strobe in a Honl snoot behind at camera right. 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
