Red Succulent Blossoms And Buds

As the days get longer, some of our succulent plants are producing flowers, and I enjoy seeing and photographing them.

 

Lighting info: This was a 3 light setup using Yongnuo manual strobes. I put one strobe on either side of the flower in front and in softboxes pointing at the center. The 3rd strobe was hand held in a Rogue grid behind the plant to provide some back lighting. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

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 1300 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in lighting.

Other succulent and cactus pictures that I've taken can be seen in my creatively titled Cactus and Succulents album.
