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.

Lighting. We lit this using two bare yongnuo strobes in manual mode which were on either side of and pointed at the white ceiling directly over the Ukulele. The bounced light provided the illumination for the picture. The strobes and our cameras were triggered with Yongnuo RF-603N triggers.
This is what passes for fall color in southern California. It's from a fruitless mulberry tree growing in out garden.

There was a time in my life (a long time ago) when I was part owner of a small commercial boat and worked with a few family members and a deck hand as a commercial sea urchin diver.

Welcome. This is my most popular picture.
On a weekday night, we had some fun at my studio, testing light patterns, and trying to control that little not-so-furry thing that was moving around all the time. With its expressive face, its big eyes, I thought that it would do great stock photography.

This plant was sitting in a pot this afternoon and was backlit by the window behind it, making it look beautiful, to my eyes, anyways. I love back lighting, and this plant looked the better for it. I stuck a piece of black Perspex behind it to isolate the leaves from the background.
I photographed this datura flower a couple of years back after picking it while walking in our rural neighborhood.

Now that it's officially autumn, I think it's appropriate to post a picture of an old leaf that has warm colors. This came from our fruitless mulberry tree, and soon there will be literally thousands of them on the ground.
Lighting: Lit with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held on the right side at 2 o'clock. Fill light came from a hand held mirror at camera left at 8 o'clock.

It's spring and a lot of the succulent plants in our garden are putting out new heads, like this one that I picked this afternoon. I brought it indoors to photograph where I don't have overpower the sun with my flash.
Lighting stuff: I used one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera right. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The flash and 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 1600 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
