Orange Hibiscus With Back Lighting

Picked from the garden this afternoon and brought indoors where it's easier to control the light.

 

Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, fill light from a 2nd Yongnuo flash in another 24 inch soft box at camera right, and back lighting came from a third Yongnuo in a Rogue grid, hand held behind the flower at camera left. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by 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 900 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
