Pink And White Cactus Flower With Colors And Shapes In The Center

I picked this flower off of a plant growing in a pot in the garden, and brought it inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light. The needles on this plant inspire caution.

 

Lighting info: I first placed the flower on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left. Fill light came from a mirror at camera right. 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.
