Lighting Up A Red And Yellow Succulent Flower Head
This succulent plant is growing in a pot in the garden. To photograph it, I brought the container indoors, where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right, and the little bit of back lighting is from a 2nd flash in a Rogue grid at camera left and behind the plant. 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/
