Purple Iris With Side Lighting
I photographed this iris in the garden this morning, fairly early while it was still shady out.

Lighting:  Lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left.  Fill light came from a small mirror at camera right.  The flash and my tripod mounted flash 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 1600 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>

Other Iris pictures that I've posted on Flickr can be seen in my Iris album.  <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157623861858581">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157623861858581</a>
