Backlit Colorful "Palms"
Actually these aren't palms at all, that was just creative license. They're succulents from the garden that I brought inside to photograph. Try doing that with palm trees. The succulents are because we're changing our garden to a more drought tolerant one, more suited to our weather in southern California.
I wanted backlighting so I placed a bare YN560-II behind the flower at 1 o'clock, and then used a YN560 in a softbox for fill, in front, camera left at 7 o'clock. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603-N radio trigger.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys 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
If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might not hate my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
