Back Lit Succulent Flower Head
I saw this succulent flower head back lit by the low winter sun this afternoon and decided to exploit it by adding additional light behind the flower.
I used camera settings that cause the background to go quite dark and then back lit the flowers by hand holding a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box behind and above the flowers. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that I've taken of succulents can be seen in my Cactus and Succulents album, if you like this sort of thing.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1000 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
