 Well I tried something with some small, multicolored holiday lights with both a black and white background and was not happy with any of them. So I went the flashlight route. I hung 3 different small incandescent flash lights from the top of the shooting area and placed the tulips beneath. Shot with camera on tripod and using the cable remote.
