Datura Seedpods
These seed pods were growing on a datura plant near the road in our neighborhood. The seeds of this plant are extremely poisonous, so not all "natural" things are good for you.
Lighting information: I recently saw a wonderful Gavin Hoey video at the University of Youtube that showed that when you flash a strobe with a colored gel onto a roll of grey backgound paper the color shows up really well for your background. In this image I put a red gel in a Yongnuo YN560 and flashed it onto my background. The main light was a YN-560-II in a 24 inch soft box placed camera left at 9 o'clock. Fill light came from a hand mirror at camera right. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I like seed pods and have placed pictures of them in an album which you can find here if you enjoy that sort of thing.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
