Location
This was taken at Balladonia Cattle Station on the western Edge of Western Australia's Nullarbor in the garden at the homesteadTime
about 8pm after dark as the flowers are only out over night of this cactus and it was mid summerLighting
I used a torch above and below this spiny fella and from behind and timed release on the camera..there certainly was no natural lightEquipment
Canon 5d mk2 and Canon 180 mm 3.5L lens with 1.4 extenderInspiration
The flowers are so large and because they are only at their best at night it was worth an effortEditing
I did join the two halves together as they had different light from the torchIn my camera bag
2 Canon 5D mk2 cameras 24 x 70 2.8 L and 70 x 200 L 2.8 lens plus 2x extenderFeedback
Easy coz at least you dont have to travel or get wet of or cold as its right there in the garden..only spines from the cactus to worry about
