Glowing Yellow And Red Rose
This is a rose from the garden of friends of our who are serious rose growers. The variety is called "Livin' Easy".
Lighting: I wanted to emphasize the luminous qualities of the petals so I back lit them with a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind and to camera right. Fill light for the front of the flower is from another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left at 8 o'clock. I used a small mirror at camera right to bounce a little light onto that side of the flower. 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.

Other pictures that I've taken of roses are in my cleverly titled Roses album.
