Back Lit Bird Of Paradise Flower 6665
This flower was from our garden and I brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

Lighting info:  The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame.  Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right, and the back lighting is from a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid positioned behind the flower at camera left.  

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 1800 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot.  <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157628079460544">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157628079460544</a>

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my creatively titled Birds of Paradise album, and there are almost 100 of them.
