Christmas Cactus

Jenny's Christmas Cactus in flower again it must flower 3 times a year now, had to find something appropriate in house to start year 3.

Exquisite detail, love the sheen on the petals and the colour graduation is beautiful.

@quietpurplehaze Thank you so much for you lovely comments Hazel, sheen aided by using defused flash bounced off the ceiling:)

@pcoulson

Aha, I recently was given the tip of bouncing the flash off the ceiling for indoor portraits - haven't tried it yet, also to reduce flash compensation to - 0.7: is that what you mean by 'diffused'?

Lovely image - must be well cared for to flower so well.

@quietpurplehaze Yes most modern flash guns give you the option to play with many settings, I sometimes just place a cotton cloth over the end to soften the light:)

@dide Thank you Dianne, its my wife who loves the plants/flowers, I'm not that good with them, I even have to get permission to use them as props, lol:)
