Back Lit Red Amaryllis

This amaryllis has been growing in a pot in the shade in our garden, but now that it's blooming we brought it indoors to exploit and enjoy.

 

Lighting stuff: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and the back lighting is from another Yongnuo flash in a hand held Rogue grid positioned behind the flower. Both strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered with 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 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
