Flower From The Botanical Building
I photographed this beautiful flower inside the Botanical Building in San Diego's Balboa Park.
Lighting info: There isn't enough room with all of the visitors to use a tripod inside the building so my wife was my voice activated light stand, and held my Yongnuo flash, which was in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, at camera right and just out of the frame. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N sitting on top of my camera.
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/
