Bird Of Paradise In Living Color
I picked this flower from the garden this afternoon and brought it inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting info: This was a two light setup with a Yongnuo manual flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right as the main light. Additional light came from a hand held Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 Lastolite soft box behind the flower at camera left to make the "feathers" glow and to create an edge on the stalk. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera 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.

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/
