Glowing Bird Of Paradise Flower In The Light

I picked this flower from the garden about 30 minutes before posting this image on Flickr.

 

Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in manual mode in a Lastolite 8.6 inch soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. The flower was glowing from the back lighting which came from a second Yongnuo flash in a rogue grid, hand held behind the flower at camera right. The strobes, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.
