Purple Rebloomer Iris From The Garden

This iris bloomed today so I picked it and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

 

The main light was a Yongnuo Manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box on a light stand at camera left. I gave the flower a little bit of back lighting using a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the flash at camera left to focus the light. Fill light came from a mirror at camera right. The flash 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
