Red Hibiscus Floewr With Raindrops In The Light

We had a rare event in southern California today in that light rain fell from the skies. Free water - welcome and unexpected. I went outside and picked a hibiscus flower that had actual rain drops on it. Not a lot - but there were some drops as you can see from the above image.

 

Lighting: Lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left, a mirror at camera right and a 2nd flash with a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left. 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/sets/72157628079460544/
