Spotted Succulent

Once of the benefits of converting to more drought tolerant plants in our landscaping is the wonderful variety of strange and exotic (to me anyway) plants that I now have as photographic subjects. I have no idea what the name of this plant is, but I really like the patterns and colors.

 

Strobist info: For the main light I put a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox to the left of the camera at 8 o'clock, and for a fill light I used a YN560 in an identical softbox, placed camera right at 4 o'clock at half the power of the main light, so that I would get some shadows for depth and definition. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by 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. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

 

Pictures that I've taken over the years of succulents and cactus can be seen in (of all places) my Cactus and Succulents set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
