White And Pink Dhalia In Black And White
This is a flower that I photographed at the flower show of last year's San Diego County Fair.  I converted it from color to black and white using Nik Software's Siver Express 2.

Lighting stuff:  Side lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held, by my wife, at camera left and just out of the frame.  The flash was 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>
