Macro Mondays: Vegetable
"It's life Jim, but not as we know it". In orbit above the planet Brassicafalorius, the team have collect something for Bones to analyse. The green mass begins to move in the lab and exercises mind control over the crew of the Enterprise. Spock is the only one not affected and will work out how to outwit the pulsating green organism.
Actually it's Roman or Romanesco Cauliflower, which I gather has nothing to do with the Roman empire, but is a modern cross between cauliflower and broccoli. It is dry looking stuff and yet, close up, it has a slightly slimy look under the lights. The background is a cheese grater with an LED torch and a small red gel inside it. The odd ghosting effect was just a flash unit being fired from low down and I think some light bounced back off the polished surface of the cheese grater. Both effects were rather unexpected.
