Reflecting On A Succulent Head
This succulent head was picked from the garden today so I could bring it indoors where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting stuff: I first placed the subject on a piece of black Perspex so that I would have a minimal reflection. The main light was a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a hand held mirror at camera left. The strobe 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.
