Side Lit Red Hibiscus Flower
March has been a rainy month for us in southern California, and I used a break in the weather pattern to go outside yesterday and photograph this hibiscus flower in our garden. 

Lighting stuff:  I used camera settings that let the background go quite dark, and then lit the flower with a Yongnuo manual flash at full power in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left.  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>
