Backlit Cactus Spines
These cactus spines were back lit by the early sun this morning, and I decided to document them because I'm a big fan of back lighting.
Lighting. I used a hand held Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box in front of the flower for fill light. With out the strobe the cactus went very dark since my camera was exposing for the back lit spines. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N
Other succulent and cactus pictures that I've taken can be seen in my creatively titled Cactus and Succulents album.

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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
