Calla Lilly Plant
Calla Lilly Plant

I received the new softbox that I ordered today, so I thought I'd try lighting the entire plant instead of just individual flowers. I just finished reading the book "Off-Camera Flash" by Neil van Nieker, and it's been extremely helpful in learning how to light things the way I want. For this picture I positioned the softbox to the left and slightly above the plant, and used a reflector off to the right to bounce a little light back on the to right side of the plant.


Other Calla Lilies that I have exploited, can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/

Like most photographs, it looks better large. Please press "L" if you'd like to see it that way.
