Neighborhood Wildflowers
II found these wild flowers growing alongside a dry creek bed in our neighborhood this morning. As you've probably heard, we're in the middle of a severe drought here and have had less than 6 inches of rain in the last 16 months. If these weren't native, drought tolerant plants, I don't see how they would have survived.
Lighting info for those interested in that sort of thing: The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox camera left and in front at 8 o'clock. To show the luminous qualities of the petals, I hand held a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid, behind and camera right. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
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
