Reflecting On A Calla Lily In Black And White
I love the shape of these lilies and find them to be excellent photographic subjects.
I first placed the flower on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it with one manual Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash and camera were both triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using NIK Software's Silver Efex Pro 2.0.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1400 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/.
Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.

Other calla pictures that I've played with can be seen in my creatively titled Calla Lily album.
