Out Of The Fiery Furnace
Actually it came from the garden this afternoon, but I'm not one to pass up a truly pretentious title.
I bought a third strobe a few days ago, and it's what I used to get the glowing colors here. I used SB600's in a softbox to either side of the flower for decent flat lighting, and then hand held the third flash which I pointed to the underneath part of the flower for the glow. I adjusted the output of the strobes manually until I got the results that I liked. "Season to taste", as they say on the cooking shows. The strobes were triggered by the pop up flash on my D90.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my strobe lit plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to do this. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
