Orange Hibiscus Flower With Side Lighting
I picked this flower in the garden this afternoon and brought it inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light and the background..
This was a one light setup with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box postitioned at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongtnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that revel shapes and textures.
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 flower images with over 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
