Back Lit Bird Of Paradise Flower In The Light
Picked from the garden this morning and brought inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

Lighting:  The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right and just out of the frame.  Back lighting is from a hand held Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left.  The two strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N,

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.

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 1400 of them,  I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot.  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/</a>
