More exploitation of a plant I bought several months ago. I've enjoyed lighting these complex shapes, and trying to vary the lighting so that all the photos don't look the same.
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.

Strobist info: This was lit with an SB600 in a Honl snoot beneath the flower, and pointing up, to provide the glow in the center, and an SB700 in a softbox camera left to provide a little fill light. The strobes were triggered by the pop up flash of my D90 in commander mode. Power output was set to manual and adjusted until I got the look I wanted.
A trio of beautiful gentle Calla lily blossoms. The unique selling proposition here is, you don´t have to water, they will always stay precious and glance at their beauty.

I normally only publish flower photos with a natural backgroud. This time I thought I'd try out my photoshop skills and add a plain backgroup. I think probably though I will continue to go for the natural background in future though your specific comments about this would be appreciated. Thanks!
Calla Lilies, often called Arum Lilies, Pig Lilies and Zantedeschia, are native to South Africa. White Calla Lilies are extremely popular for wedding flowers and at Easter time. I have the purple and white variety growing in my garden.

any photo of calla lilies is cliche, right?? or does it have to be black/white??
I just finished a massive upload of pictures, mostly from a trip to Monterey a few weeks ago. Probably won't be adding anything new in the next two weeks, since I'll be in INDIA!!! :)
happy thanksgiving!
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.
