Raspberry

A small, white, five petalled flower appearing from June to August. The flowers only keep their petals for about a day. The fruit appears from summer to autumn.

 

These emerging raspberries were found in the edge of the woods at Blackmoor nature reserve, on the Mendip's. I am fascinated by the berries with all their wrinkles, hairs and textures.

 

Photographer's notes: I focused on the edge of the foremost petal attempting to get the berry and the front of the flower as sharp as possible to capture shapes and textures. A 105mm macro plus a 36mm extension tube at f9, 1/320th of a second, ISO 400.
