Purple Iris With Rain Drops In The Light
I've been waiting a few days for this iris to open up and today was the day.  I though that the early morning rain drops were a nice touch on the flower.

I photographed it in the garden using a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left.  Fill light was from a small hand mirror at camera right.  The flash, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603Nl.

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 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 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>
