Yellow Lily Shapes And Shadows

I picked this lily this morning while I was out and about, and brought it home to photograph indoors where it's easier to control the light.

 

I lit this with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that emphasize shapes and textures. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

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. I'm told that some people find the information helpful. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
