Amaryllis Buds On The Sixth Day Of Opening

This is an Amaryllis flower which we were given for Christmas, and which I'm documenting as it opens up with a beautiful flower. or flowers. In this image I included both stems of the plant. This is the sixth day, and I'm enjoying watching and documenting how it progresses.

 

Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame. I used a hand mirror at camera right to bounce some light onto that part of the flower. I also put a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right for a little back lighting. 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/sets/72157628079460544/
