Succulent Flower Head With Drops In Black And White
This is a very large succulent plant growing in a pot in our garden.  The head measures about 14 inches across.  This was photographed using an aperture of f/18.0.  I did not use focus stacking because it was totally unnecessary.

I lit the plant with a handheld Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite at camera left in the 10 o'clock position.  The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.  I converted the image to black and white using NIK software's Silver Efex Pro 2.0.

Other black and white images that I've made are in my creatively titled Black and White album.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
