Reflecting On A Red And Yellow Poinsettia Leaf
My wife brought home a couple of poinsettia plants today as holiday decorations, and I immediately set out to exploit them.
Lighting: I set this on a mirror and then lit it from the side using a Yongnuo manual flash, hand held just out of the frame at camera left. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N
I find leaves to be beautiful objects from nature and have an album creatively titled Leaves with over 60 images in it.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or stuff 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 1500 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
