Reflecting On The Shapes, Curls and Color Of A Pink Tulip Petal
After this tulip started loosing petals, I decided to photograph one on a mirror, as I've found that they can become an interesting subject when considered in the abstract.
I placed the petal on a mirror, and then lit it with a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. I put a little light at camera right using a small hand mirror. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.
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 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
