Inside The Mouth Of The Iris Cave in Black And White
I brought this purple rebloomer iris into the house so that I could photograph it where it's easier to control the light.  Lighting was from a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left.  Fill light came from a mirror, hand held at camera right.  The flash, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF=603N.

Other black and white images that I've made are in my creatively titled Black and White album.

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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

Other pictures that I've taken of iris, can be seen in my iris album.
