Pink Succulent Flowers Against The Sky
These pig's ear succulent flowers grow on these long stalks that go up from the base of the plant. They're growing in a large pot in the garden, and I wanted to photograph them against the contrasting blue sky.
Before turning on the flash I set the camera manually to give a good exposure for the sky and clouds. At that setting the flowers, which are in shade, were silhouettes. I hand held a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid and pointed it up at the flowers for the fill light on the flowers. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
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/
