Cut My Hair
Something happened that doesn't happen all too often: I ended up with more than one usable image. And all of the same vegetable: spring onion. I had photographed several parts of two different types of spring onion, one pretty thick, the other almost as thin as chives. This image shows the latter. The stem itself is slightly less than 4 mm/ 0,15 inches in diameter but its roots... The roots required it to use almost the entire 3 inches if I wanted to have them all in the image. So in the end I came up with a width of 6,5 cm/2,55 inches.
In German, spring onions are officially called "Winterzwiebeln" (winter onions), at least according to Wikipedia, and there are almost 30 different other names they go by, some of which I already knew but most of them I've heard for the first time.
I decided to "coif" this scallion diva's hair to one side for a more deliberate, somewhat fashionable look. Since it was now a little side-heavy, the tiny scallion part kept falling over a few times but in the end, I could make it stay put long enough to take the photo (a single shot). I was surprised about the blue hue because I had used my go-to black glitter foam sheet as a background. I assume the blue is from the LED flashlight I had used to illuminate the scallion slightly from the side and front. Processed in DXO PhotoLab 8, Color Efex, and Luminar Neo where I tweaked the colour contrast.
HMM, Everyone!
