Calla Light and Shadows - a photo on Flickriver

More playing with the lighting to achieve different looks for the flower and leaves.

Strobist info: Back lighting and rim lighting provided with a Honl snoot behind and to camera right, fill light from a YN560 in a softbox above and to camera right at 7 o'clock. Strobes triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes, can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

Other Callas that I've exploited are in my Calla Lilly set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/
