Succulent Head Backlit By The Morning Sun
This succulent plant was backlit by the sun, which gave it a wonderful glow, when I photographed it in the garden  this morning.  I used a hand held Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera right for fill light on the front of the plant.  The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

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>
