Red Epiphyllum Flower Hanging Out In The Light
My wife grows epiphyllum flowers, and these are from two years ago.  I photographed these in the shade where they were hanging near our front door.

Lighting stuff.  I used camera settings that caused the background to go quite dark and then lit the flower with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left.  Fill light came from a hand mirror at camera right.  The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N trigger.

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.  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/</a>

Other Epiphyllym flower pictures that I've posted on Flickr can be seen in my Epiphyllum Flowers album.  <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157680754580643">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157680754580643</a>
