Pink Cactus Flower
We've had warm weather here in San Diego County for the last three days, and one of our beavertail cactus has come into bloom. It has a lot of buds, so I expect a lot more flowers in the coming days.
I lit this with a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox hand held at camera right about 4 inches from the flowers. I had a polarizer on the lens, and with the camera settings I used, no ambient light was recorded. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus and succulents can be seen in my (logically enough) Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
