Succulent Flowers On A Stick
I photographed these succulent flowers while visiting the Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park on our recent visit to Arizona. I think that they're from the pig's ear succulent plant, but I didn't see an identifying sign.
Lighting info: Lit with one YN560-II in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox hand-held at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. The camera settings that I used eliminated most of the ambient light so that virtually all of the light on the flowers came from the strobe.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. One of the great resources on Flickr for learning about off camera flash is the Strobist.com group. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
Other pictures that I've taken of succulents over the years are in my Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
