Colorful Little Cactus In The Light

This cactus is about 9 inches tall and is growing in a pot near the front of our house. I brought it indoors to photograph where it's cooler and easier to control the light.

 

Lighting: The mail light was a Yongnuo manual flash at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera right and from a second Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the cactus at camera right. The 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 1800 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.
