Glowing Purple Iris
I picked this flower from our garden this morning. It's a rebloomer, and blooms off and on all year long. Because of the drought in our part of the world we quit watering all of the iris in our garden that don't bloom more than once a year.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to show the translucent quality of the leaves to I placed a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right. Fill light came from an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left and pointing towards the center. 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 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
