Orange Hibiscus With Scarlet Center
I picked this from the garden this afternoon. We also have red and pink hibiscus, but this is my favorite color. I tried photographing this in jpeg mode, but because of the scarlet and the red near the center of the flour, I couldn't accurately depict the color. I think I've finally got it into my head that if there's a lot of red in the subject, I need to shoot in raw. This is the retake from raw, and there's a huge difference. Down below in the comments you'll see the version of this flower from jpeg.
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, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
I lit this with a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox behind the flower at 1 o'clock for the main light, a YN560 in an identical softbox , in front at 4 o'clock for the fill light, and a handheld Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid to put some light in the center. All three strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
