Backlit Calla #789

Another lighting variation while trying for a different look. I was looking for backlighting to make the flower look translucent, and put an SB600 in a snoot behind and underneath the flowers, and another SB600 in a softbox front left to provide some fill light. Both strobes triggered by the pop up flash on my D90 in commander mode. Strobes were in manual mode and I adjusted output until I got a look that I liked. This stuff is fun to play with and has a great effect on how the subjects look.

 

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 light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...

 

More pictures from the Calla Lily series can be seen, logically enough, in my Calla Lily set.
