This is a follow up to the image that I posted two days ago. This time I shot a yellow angel's trumpet flower but had three SB-800's in the setup. While playing around with different lighting angles I tried shooting straight up into the blossom from below with a strobe on an off camera cord (from about 1 foot away) while the other two strobes were pointed toward the bottom of the blossom from either side (from about 6-8 feet away).
I accept up front that not everyone will like this image but I am experimenting and wanted to share it to show how dramatically differently one can render a subject with these multi strobe techniques.
Location/Date: Fragrance Garden, Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, MD, August 24, 2007.
[Nikon D200, Nikkor 70-200mm VR @ 105mm, 1/80s, f/16, iso 400, tripod, 3 Nikon SB-800 strobes]

Three strobes!! I think you fried it. It looks a little toasty around the edges.

It is wonderful to me! The light on the flower is so intense and the texture so vivid...it feels like you can touch it! Great!
