Study In Purple
I photographed this purple wonder yesterday at my sister' house.
Lighting: Lit from the side with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a mirror at camera right. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.
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/
