Colorful Orchid - Explored

I've always admired the color and shapes of orchids, and for me, they make an interesting subject.

 

I place a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox cameral left at 9 o'clock and a YN560-II in identical softbox camera right at 3 o'clock for even lighting and then handheld a Strobie 130 fitted with a grid behind the flower at 11 o'clock for a little backlighting. All strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other plants, flowers, or fruit that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
