Bees And The Large Cactus Flower
This picture was taken about 4.5 hours after the pictures that you see down below in the first comment. I had assumed that flower would close up by then middle of the day, but that's because I don't know much about cactus. By the time the sun came out, the bees were all over it. Nature in action.
Lighting stuff: I lit this with a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox, hand held above and at camera right. I used a camera setting that recorded just a little bit of ambient light, with the main light coming from the softbox. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus 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
