Gaillardia Lit from Behind

Gaillardia Lit from Behind, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

I placed this Gaillardia x grandiflora on a black background, and lit the front of the flower using natural light and a diffuser. Then I used an LED light to shine pinpoint light from behind the flower at the center of the Gaillardia.

I love to photograph Gaillardias. Check out Gaillardia x grandiflora, Gaillardia, and Gallardia Photogram.
