Shapes And Textures In An Iris Petal

This is a petal from an iris that I photographed recently.

 

Lighting: I placed it on a mirror for the reflections and then lit it with a Yongnuo strobe in a soft box at camera right for the side lighting that creates shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came frrom a small hand mirror at camera left. The flash was triggered by the pop up flash on my camera.

 

I've taken quite a few Iris pictures and they can be seen in my Iris album if you like that kind of thing.

Other strobe lit flowers that I've documented are here:

I have taken a lot of pictures of flowers using lights, and these are in my Strobe Lit Plants album, if you want to check them out.
