Journey To The Center Of The Iris

To maximize depth of field I used two sperate exposures with slightly different focus points and then combined them in PS. A technique called focus stacking.

 

Strobist Info: The main light was a YN560-II in a softbox camera left at 7 o'clock, fill light from a Strobie 130 in a softbox camera right at 4 o'clock, back lighting in the center of the flowers was a hand held YN560-II with a Honl snoot behind and below the flower. All three strobes in manual mode were triggered by 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. 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

This looks best when viewed large against a dark background, and you can view it in that enlightened manner by pressing "L" on your keyboard.
