How to: bright flower macro

Very simple and easy setup for bright white flower macro shots. What you need:
- flower
- two speedlites
- white styrofoam plates
Place the styrofoam plates in a L-shape and point the speedlites at them. The flower is positioned in the middle of this setup with the camera on the same height as the blossom pointing towards the styrofoam plates. Now adjust the speedlites’ strengths as you see fit (I used 1/16 and 1/8). See this setup shot:
