White Epiphyllum Flower With Yellow Tips
My wife grows epiphyllum flowers and this is the time of year that they bloom.  I photographed this flower this morning under overcast skies.

Lighting:  I used camera settings that cause the background to go dark and then lit the flower using a Yongnuo flash in a Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left, and just out of camera range.  I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and texture.  The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Over the years, I've taken quite a few &quot;Epi&quot; pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.

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 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
