Bird Of Many Colors
This flower came from our garden this morning.  I brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.

The two main lights were Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch gridded
soft boxes positioned on either side of the flower and pointing at the center.  I also had a hand held flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower for back lighting.  The strobes 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.
