For many days I have been waiting for one of my cactus to open its small flowers and fill my garden with color, today in the afternoon it finally decided to do it, it only opened two of its flowers, but it was a real show for me, and I had to immortalize the moment with my photographs that I present to you in this post.
I'm not going to get technical with all the information about the cactus like sizes, scientific name or anything like that, I just really hope you enjoy the images, and if at some point you wish to have this cactus in your home by looking at the picture, it means my job is done, the only thing I hope is that you look at the pictures from top to bottom and from side to side, that you see the beauty and hope that in the next images I can show you the work of the pollinating insects, although it will be much more difficult for me to make those pictures, believe me that is my idea.
You are probably wondering what kind of gear I use, and the truth is that it is a simple one, Canon T6, 18-55mm kit lens, macro extension tube and a speedlite flash with a homemade diffuser, that's my gear for macro photography, but if you don't have all this, the truth is that sometimes I have seen macro photographs made with a smathphone for example, you only need to look for some crystals that are placed in front of the camera and arm yourself with patience, because this is how this type of photography is, for example to make these photos I have waited more than a year for the cactus to give its flowers.
