Orange And Blue In The Light
I picked this from the garden this morning and brought it inside where it's easier to control the light.

Lighting stuff:  The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box positioned at camera right and pointed at the center of the flower.  The back lighting is from a hand held Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid.  The two strobes, in manual mode, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

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 Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.
