Looking Up At A Back Lit Sunflower

These are fun flowers to photograph, and I've enjoyed exploiting them. I wish I hadn't tossed them all when they started to fade, as I'd like to photograph a desicatted one.

 

Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Back lighting is from another Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, behind the flower at camera left. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, 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 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
