Claret Cup Cactus Blooms, San Rafael Swell area, Utah - June is typically a good month to catch cactus in bloom. Here is a shot of claret cup cactus. Since the sun was out and it was mid-day, this would have been a tough shot to capture without the subject becoming grossly contrasty. To soften the light, I used a diffusion screen directly between the flowers and sun. The softer light allows finer details in the flowers and decreases the harshness of the shadows. You'll learn how to do this in our wildflower tours coming up next month!
