An unfurling yellow calla lily bud.
Hey, Flickr pals - Even I need a break from birds .... ;-)
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday to all!!
I received the new softbox that I ordered today, so I thought I'd try lighting the entire plant instead of just individual flowers. I just finished reading the book "Off-Camera Flash" by Neil van Nieker, and it's been extremely helpful in learning how to light things the way I want. For this picture I positioned the softbox to the left and slightly above the plant, and used a reflector off to the right to bounce a little light back on the to right side of the plant.
Other Calla Lilies that I have exploited, can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/
Like most photographs, it looks better large. Please press "L" if you'd like to see it that way.

Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Signature ("All you need is one light, bro.")
Strobist: snooted canon 430EX, 1/16 power held by wife to side, camera left. (I really need a light stand as I think my wife is getting tired of doing this.)
Two SB-800s (1/8 power) each bounced into white foam board v-flats left & right of subject; a white foam board "roof" on top of the v-flats for top fill.

I thought this Calla Lily looked like a heart.. I know that our our hearts go out to all of the victims and their families in the Boston Marathon tradgedy and the tragedy in Texas!!!..♥
