Backlit Orange Hibiscus
From the garden this afternoon.
Lighting stuff: I used 3 Yongnuo YN560-III's to light the flower. To show the luminous qualities of the back petals, I place a strobe in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left and another strobe in a Honly snoot behind at camera right. Fill light came from a strobe in an 8,6 inch Lastolite soft box in front at camera left pointing towards the center. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yonnuo RF-603N. I adjust the power output on the strobes individually until I got the look I wanted.
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
