Finally a second flower opened, two actually, during the night while I was asleep. That is when Cacti Magic happens. For this shoot I picked my Pentax K5 and a Pentax-A 135mm f2.8 Lens. Using tripod. My 100mm Macro was put away where I did not want to go looking for it. Anyway, these are not macro shots.
The last image posted was actually shot first Hand-Held before I brought my tripod outside. Using my Pentax K20D.
