Reddish Orange Cactus Flowers
Photographed in my sister's cactus garden. In drought stricken southern California many people are switching to more drought tolerant gardens. I find those gardens to be more interesting photographically, and certainly more conserving of water.
This was a two person job to photograph, as this involved photographing spiny things on a slope. I handheld the camera, and my wife handheld a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox at camera right and pointing down to the flower. She put the flash as close to the plant as she could, and not get into the frame. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus flowers are in my Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
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
