Reflecting On A Red Epiphyllum Blossom

A lot of my wife's epiphyllum flowers are in bloom right now so I'm exploiting them while the exploitation is good.

 

I placed the flower on a mirror because I life the different view point that the reflection provides. Lighting came from a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box on either side of the flower pointed at the center. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Over the years, I've taken quite a few "Epi" pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.

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.
