Succulent Head In The Light

I photographed this plant in the garden this morning where it was backlit by the early morning sun. I used camera settings that let the background go dark, but not black, and then lit the plant with a hand held Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held above and to the right at 2 o'clock. 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.
