White And Pink Dhalia At The Fair
I photographed this colorful dhalia back in June of 2016 at the flower show of the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, California. 

My wife was my voice activated light stand and held a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera right and just out of the frame.  The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.  I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.  I used camera settings that caused the background to go dark in the indoor hall because there were so many distracting plants, people and thingeys.

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>
