Stone Cactus Flower In The Light

This is one of the many cactus and succulent plants that we have on our property, and it's because of the ongoing drought in the western United States. This plant came in to flower today, and I brought it inside to photograph late in the afternoon.

 

Lighting: Simple lighting from a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lazstolite soft box hand held at camera left and just out of the frame. The flash 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.
