Red Flowers For Hummingbirds
We have about a six foot area in our garden which is planted with these flowering plants that are much loved by the local hummingbirds.
Lighting: I brought this stalk indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light. At camera left, I had the main light which is a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box just out of the frame. At camera right and behind the plant, I had a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid which focuses the light on the back of the flowers on the right. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuof 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/
