Guess what day it is at Beyond Layers? PINK!! I had to dig into the archives but pink is not a hard color to find in my files. Didn't have time to do new shots this time.
As in, if this kanekalon hair wasn't such a pretty pink I'd committ suicide rather than buy it. XDDDDD
There seems to be a lot of pink in my stream lately. I apologize for all the blossoms, but the city is filled with them and I just can't resist! All too soon they'll be gone.
This pink hibiscus was sitting in a pot waiting to be planted, so I decided to photograph it at a more comfortable height than in the ground by doing it indoors where it would be easier to control the light.
Lighting info: I wanted to back light the translucent petals so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the plant at camera left. Side lighting to show the textures of the petals came from a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box camera left at 9 o'clock. Both 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, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
I don't know what variety of rose this is, but the brilliant pink speaks of passion and romance. Red roses are classic, but I prefer hot pink ones. The summer heat and too much rain have subdued our famous Capitol Hill roses but there are always some in bloom and they'll perk up again when the weather cools and keep blooming into December.
Not sure what these small flowers are called - they seem to grow with perhaps three of these flowers in a cluster. Yep, bought from my usual place, LOL. Later: thanks so much to *Kevin45* for the ID and link - much appreciated!
Needed some bright colour this evening, after being out in "winter" in the mountains. It was beautiful there, though. A friend had invited me to go with him to search for White-tailed Ptarmigan in the Highwood Pass area, Highway 40, Kananaskis. SO much snow has accumulated up there, and snowshoes or skis is the only way to "travel", unless you walk along the edge of the highway, which we did for just a very short distance. No sign of those white birds with the tiny, black, beady eyes, though.
"Alstroemeria (syn. Alstremeria), commonly called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants. Almost all of the species are restricted to one of two distinct centers of diversity, one in central Chile, the other in eastern Brazil. Species of Alstroemeria from Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing. All are long-lived perennials except A. (Taltalia) graminea, a diminutive annual from the Atacama Desert of Chile." From Wikipedia.
