This purple iris is a re-bloomer that blooms all year round. I brought it in from the garden this morning and decided to get in close on it by attaching my largest Kenko extension tube to my macro lens. To try and get as much depth of field as possible i shot at f/22.
The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera left at 9 o'clock, and about 5 inches from the flower. The light in the center came from a hand held Strobie 130 fitter with a Rogue Grid to tightly restrict the light to just the center. 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 album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

This is the same flower that I posted two days ago, but this time I lit it differently, and let the background go black. To me the flower looks entirely different with the two very different styles of lighting. What I enjoy about providing the light is that it gives me different choices about how I choose to present the subject.
I put a Strobie130 in a Rogue grid behind and the the right of the flower at 1 o'clock which provides the glow, and then a YN560 in a softbox camera left and in front at 7 o'clock for fill. I varied the manual output of the strobes until I got the look I wanted. Flashes triggered by a Tiny Trigger.
I enjoy playing around with textures now and again and decided today was a good day to dip back in. I'm really happy with how this turned out. Print and frame happy potentially.

As a beta tester for Rogue Flashbenders, I decided to run a workshop in the 40's style of George Hurrell.
We used Veronica Lake as our muse.

This is an attempt to backlight something that didn't really need much backlighting since it's basically white. It's a white epiphullum flower, with a little yellow, growing in a hanging container in our garden. I wanted to make the center glow, but by doing that I blew out the highlights, and lost most of the detail. Well, hopefully, I'll learn from my mistakes.
I lit this with two strobes backlighting the flower. A YN560 in a Honl snoot, behind the flower at camera left, and a YN560-II with a Rogue grid behind at camera right. Fill light came from a YN560-III in a 24" x 36" gridded softbox in front pointing toward the center of the flower. All strobes were in manual mode, and 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.

T.G.I.H.F (Thank God it's Halo Friday)
Image created with the Nikon D7000 and Nikon 28-70mm F2.8 AFS lens @ 35mm. Manual exposure mode, F11, 1/60th second shutter speed, ISO 200, spot metering. Camera was tripod mounted and shutter triggered with Nikon infrared remote.
Main Light:
Nikon SB900 speedlight in manual mode @ 1/8th power with the flash head zoomed to 24mm. Stofen diffuser on the flash with the flash shot through a Qbox 24, 24" softbox placed to camera left on an Avenger C-Stand with boom arm. Flash triggered with PocketWizard Plus II radio transceiver on flash and camera.
Blue rim Light:
Nikon SB900 speedlight in manual mode # 1/16 power with flash head zoomed to 105mm. Rogue grid with CTB (Color temperature blue) flash gel was placed over the flash head to create the blue rim light on the back and right sides of the subject. Flash was on a light stand and placed to camera right and about five feet behind the subject.
In 2013, I'm doing a 365 shot a day project with the theme "Toys. When you're not looking". The idea is to capture familiar toys dealing with the situations and challenges that life throws at them in the real world, just like a human would.

The Icelandic Poppy that I photographed yesterday dropped its petals today so I decided to photograph them as a study of abstract texture and color. This one I placed on a mirror so I could show more of the surfaces.
Strobist Info: Simple lighting from the side as I wanted to create the shadows that reveal shape and textures. One YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox about 5 inches from the mirror, camera left at 9 o'clock. I didn't need to use a black background because the exposure that I used - f 22, 1/200 sec and iso 200 didn't record any ambient light - just the light from the flash. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Actually, it's not so much a pom-pom as it is a hibiscus from our garden that I picked this afternoon.
Strobist info: The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox, camera left. I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the flower, camera right at 1 o'clock for the back lighting, and for fill I hand held a small mirror, camera right. The strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF=603N.

I found this flower while out and about this morning and brought it home to exploit. Specifically I wanted to use a background with the contrasting color of purple.
Lighting info: For the purple background I borrowed a piece of gray art paper from my wife and placed it behind the flower, and then used a purple gel in a YN560-II flash to shine that color onto the art paper for my purple background. I wanted the flower to glow so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the flower, camera right at 1 o'clock for the back lighting. Fill lighting came from a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox camera right and in front at 4 o'clock, and a small handheld mirror camera left. All three strobes were in manual mode and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I learned the technique for the colored background from a Gavin Hoey video at this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR0wu9Sy6GM

I had two goals in photographing these flowers. I wanted to show the shapes of these bell shaped flowers, and I wanted the translucent petals to glow. Yesterday I made the mistake of photographing one of the flowers head on, such that it looked really flat and didn't reveal the true shape of the flower. Today I turned the plant sideways so that I could see all of the shapes of the flower and then back lit it to make the petals glow.
I put a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box camera right and slightly behind the flower, which provided some back lighting for the flower on the right while also providing some light on the stem and front of the flower on the left. For back lighting on the flower on the left, I positioned at Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and to the left of the flower. To illuminate the center bits of the left hand flower i pointed a YN560-II in a Honl snoot at them. All three strobes were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

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.

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.
According to the coworker that gave this to Kim, this thing hanging from my plamp is a bitter melon. Supposedly it is used to treat many different ailments, including the diabetes that her coworker's husband has. On the other hand, it tastes awful. Kim is going to pickle this guy.

STROBIST: a single snooted Yongnuo YN-560 flash on camera left. A piece of white foam core was used to light up the backside. The background is a black sheet and the mutant fruit is suspended with a Plamp. Slight adjustments to contrast in Lightroom 4; otherwise SOOC.
Another epiphyllum in the garden bloomed today.
Strobist info: The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch soft box above the flower, camera left. Fill light was provided by a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid positioned behind the flowers camera right which illuminated the petals on that side. 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.

Hypersync test with the PW Flex TT5. Canon 580EX II camera left with Rogue Grid and reflector camera right @ 1/1000 sec.
"Lord Vader, we have located the source of the smoke..."
Shot with the Nikon D7000 and Nikon 35mm F1.8G prime lens. Manual exposure mode, F11, 1/20th second shutter speed, ISO 250, spot metering. Camera was tripod mounted and shutter triggered with Nikon infrared remote.
Main Light:
Nikon SB900 speedlight in manual mode @ 1/32 power with the flash head zoomed to 50mm. A full cut of CTO (Color Temperature Orange) gel was placed over the flash head to warm up the light. Flash shot through a Rogue grid with 25 degree honeycomb grid insert to concentrate the light into a tight circle. Flash was handheld above the scene and triggered via Nikon CLS using the popup flash on the D7000 as a CLS commander unit.

I was surprised to find this flower blooming in a pot outside on a cool and frosty morning, and rushed it inside immediately to exploit. It's a pretty small flower, and I positioned my macro lens below it in order to look up at it in hopes of making it more impressive and heroic. The few, the proud the snapdragons...... but I digress.
I wanted to show the luminous qualities of the flower and make it glow so I placed a Strobie 130 fitted with a Rogue grid above and in back of it. Fill light came from a YN560-II in a 24 inch soft box, in front and to camera right. The strobes were in manual mode and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

These cape honeysuckle blossoms are growing alongside a fence on our property. I like the shape of the blossoms, and wanted to emphasize them by getting in close with my macro lens.
Lighting info: Lit with one YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right and a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the flower and slightly to the left to emphasize the translucent qualities of the blossoms. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
