Glowing Bird
I picked this flower in my sister's garden and brought it home to exploit where it's easier to control the light. The flower is a little past its prime, but I thought that the shapes and colors were still interesting.
Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. Back lighting is from a hand held Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid positioned behind the flower at camera right. The two strobe in manual mode were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled 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 1000 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
