Back Lit Bird

My wife brought this bird of paradise flower home for me to play with.

 

Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right. Fill light was from another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. The back lighting is from a third Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, hand held and pointed at the back of the flower. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other pictures that I've taken of these beautiful flowers are in my Birds of Paradise album.

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.
