Back Lit Bird 6567 In The Light

I picked this flower from the garden on yesterday and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

 

Lighting: This was a 3 light setup using Yongnuo flashes. I positioned two flashes in front in 24 inch soft boxes placed on either side of the flower and a third flash in a Rogue grid, hand held in back of the flower at camera left for back lighting. The 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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.
