Backlit Botanicals

While photographing the atrium at The Bellagio in Las Vegas, I fiddled around a bit with my flash and the off camera cable.
It turns out that a flash makes a great source of light for back lighting flowers.  Who would have thought?

Images were created using the Canon 5D Mk II and the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens.

  1. These are really cool! I love backlight on plants. I think the third one is my favorite.

    Thank you everyone, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. This was a fun experiment that happened to turn out well (not all of them do).
