Orange And Yellow Succulent Flower Head In The Light
Like many areas in the Western United States, we are experiencing drought conditions in southern California, and as a result have replaced much of our previous landscaping with cactus and drought tolerant succulents. This succulent is one of our relatively new additions.
Lighting stuff: The main light was a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera right. The back lighting you see came from a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid (to focus the light) positioned behind the flower at camera right. The two strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1700 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might enjoy my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here, and has over 400 images in it.
