This succulent plant is growing in a pot in the garden. To photograph it, I brought the container indoors, where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right, and the little bit of back lighting is from a 2nd flash in a Rogue grid at camera left and behind the plant. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with 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. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

This is an old shell found years back on some beach in Baja California, Mexico.
Lighting: I wanted to show two different perspectives on this shell, so I put it on a mirror. Because part of the shell is fairly thin and translucent, I decided to back light it in an attempt to make it glow. The back lighting came from a hand held Yongnuo flash in a Rogue Grid behind the shell at camera right. The main light was another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. The strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Lighting stuff: This was a 3 Yongnuo light setup with a light in a soft box on either side of the plant and a hand held light in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left for back lighting. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
My wife saw these flowers alongside the road today, and brought them home for me to play with. These are the official state flower of California, although why we would have a state flower is a mystery to me.
Lighting stuff: This was a two light setup using Yongnuo manual strobes. The main light was in a Lastolite 8.6 inch soft box at camera left, and for back lighting I used a Rogue grid on the flash, which was positioned behind the flowers at camera right. The two strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or stuff that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1500 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
I picked this flower from the garden on yesterday and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting: This was a 3 light setup using Yongnuo flashes. I positioned two flashes in front in 24 inch soft boxes placed on either side of the flower and a third flash in a Rogue grid, hand held in back of the flower at camera left for back lighting. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I found this datura flower this morning growing alongside the street in our rural neighborhood. I like the shapes of these flowers, and brought this one home to exploit.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to back light the flower because I like the translucent qualities that back lighting provides. I hand held a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid on the left side and behind the flower for back lighting. I then used two Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch soft boxes in front and on either side of the flower to provide some detail in the front of the image. The three strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

It's been a warm spring day in our part of the world and one of our rebloomer iris plants is loaded with flowers this. I picked this flower this afternoon and brought it indoors where it's easier to control the light and background.
Lighting: This was a two light setup using two manual Yongnuo strobes. One, positioned in front at camera left used a Lastolite soft box to light the front of the flower with a hand held mirror at camera right for a little bit of fill light. Back lighting came from a second manual flash in a Rogue grid positioned behind the flower at camera right. The strobes and camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

My wife brought home some tulips for me to play with, and this is the first one that opened up.
Lighting stuff: The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left. I used a second flash for back lighting with a Rogue grid at camera right at one o 'clock. The two strobes and my tripod mounted .camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

These succulent flowers came from the garden this afternoon.
I placed them on a mirror as I like the added dimension that the reflection provides. The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. I also back lit the flowers using a yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, hand held behind the flowers at camera right. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

This is another of my wife's epiphyllum flowers, and this one bloomed today.
Lighting: Back lighting from a Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right. Fill light came from another yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left pointing towards the center. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Over the years, I've taken quite a few "Epi" pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.

I wanted to back light this shell to make it glow, and I used a three light setup to accomplish that. The back lighting came from a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the shell. Fill light came from 2 Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch soft box on either side of the shell. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

We had rain last night, and when I went outside this morning this night blooming cactus flower. It still has 4 or 5 more blossoms that should be opening in the next few days.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to light this differently than the one I posted a few days ago, so I back lit it by placing a YN560-III in a Rogue grid, behind the flower at camera right and a bare YN560-II at camera left. I used a camera setting that recorded just a small amount of ambient light, so that the background wouldn't go completely black. I love the look of back lighting, and try to use it when appropriate, and when I have thin, translucent subjects. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. A different flower from the same cactus, and lit from the front, can be seen below in the first comment.

This flower came from our garden this morning. I brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
The two main lights were Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch gridded
soft boxes positioned on either side of the flower and pointing at the center. I also had a hand held flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower for back lighting. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I fine tulips to be beautiful flowers, and this is their time of year to shine.
Lighting: This was a three light setup using two strobes in soft boxes in front and on either side pointed at the center and one in back at camera left in a Rogue grid for back lighting. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I love black and white, and have an album with over 170 black and white images if you like that sort of thing.
We have almost no flowers in bloom right now in our garden, so I brought this little succulent stalk inside to exploit. It at least had buds.
I put a YN560 with a Rogue grid behind the stalk at camera left to provide a little back lighting and then used a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right for a little fill light. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
My wife brought this bird of paradise flower home for me to play with.
Lighting: The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right. Fill light was from another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. The back lighting is from a third Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, hand held and pointed at the back of the flower. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
