Angular Bird Of Paradise Flower

I picked this flower from the garden and brought it inside to exploit this afternoon. There are a lot of these beauties in bloom in Southern California at the moment.

 

Lighting: This was a two light setup with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox at camera left and just out of the frame. Back and rim lighting came from a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, behind the flower 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 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157628079460544

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my creatively titled Birds of Paradise album, and there are just over 100 of them.
