We went to our local desert this weekend to see the wildflowers and local cactus in bloom. These brittlebush plants are very prevalent in our local southwest deserts, and this is the time of year that they bloom. I photographed this plant about 20 minutes after sunrise this morning with the help of my wife who held the off camera flash for me.
This is a blend of ambient light and flash. The strobe was a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox handheld at camera right pointing down at the plant. The flash, in manual mode, was 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/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
I've taken a lot of pictures of cactus and succulents, and if you're interested, you can see them in my Cactus and Succulents album.

Seen on the grounds of Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA on May 31, 2013. It was lovely to see cactus in bloom, particularly with a small visitor!
