Bird Of Paradise Flower With Back Light

I picked this flower from the garden this morning, and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

 

Lighting stuff: I place a Yongnuo manual flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left for back lighting, and used a second Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box as my main light positioned in front at camera right. The strobes 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 1700 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.
