Teddy Bear Cholla

[Bob]

Had to drive my wife to a meeting in Tucson yesterday and she was nice enough to let me go out and shot something. The results was a nice back lit Teddy Bear Cholla I captured last evening. Hope every one like this image.

Hey Bob this is really cool. Backlit cholla is up there in the super cool category of great looking shots.

I love the image but I hate that plant. Too many memories of needing to have them removed from exposed skin.

Like Alan, I keep my distance, but this is a very nice image.

Hey Alan,
Yes I would agree this is a very nasty plant and not one to get close too.

That comment seems so sensible now but when I was a child growing up in Phoenix I had to learn these things the hard way

Beautiful.

It almost look like an indoor shot lit with light bulbs. Yes, I'd like to keep my distance

I love shooting chollas for the backlight reason. They are awesome subjects that stand still, even in the windiest of conditions.

 

[Mike Mancil]

Excellent backlighting. Never met one of these but I'll take everyone's word and keep my distance.

Very nice! love the lighting.
