Pulling these from my wheelchair friendly box was very rewarding, i have to say. And then shot with a new purchase and pocket friendly 85mm 1.4 by Samyang. Manual and wide open
Growing beetroot is very easy. There are a lot of it in the garden. Me, I prefer them in the salads, so I thought I'd preserve some.
I've recently been making an effort to buy my veg from the market rather than the supermarket - can't get over how much more attractive it is! Just look at the leaves and stems on this beetroot :)
a jar of pickled beetroot freshly made this evening now in the fridge

A new one to me, but I'm glad I discovered it, but not yet eaten. Matches the mood of Autumn quite nicely.
Captured at Salamanca Markets, Hobart, Tasmania.
Grown by an enthusiastic group of Mongolian farmers that have regular stalls at the market.

I let my beetroot go to seed and then have to pleasure to watch the new plants roam around their corner - first up through the winter. There are plenty of recipes for the leaves, but they add so much colour and form between the Livèche, Sarriette, Lemon balm and bay.
Some training for World Anthotype Day (3rd Saturday in August).
Pickled Beetroots "atomized" with a hand mixer, dye extracted with a 50/50 solution of 96% ethanol and H2O and finally strained through a cotton cloth.
Glossy inkjet paper coated x 2 with the emulsion (drying in between).
Wine leafs.
Cooked for 7h in full July Nordic sunshine today.
Quick rinse in water and hanged to dry before scanning.
Slow and low contrast alternative photographic process.
I recommend Malin Fabbri's book "Anthotypes" if you want to learn more about this.
Last nights crescent moon. drove around to find something interesting to compliment it and this old tree said it would oblige. camera wanted a 6th but there was no way I was handholding at that speed so we compromise with a 20th leaning on the car. came out a nice beetroot sky for my sins, no colour adjustment just the usually twiddling in RAW
Substrate: Watercolour paper 180gsm
Light sensitive anthotype dye: Grated beeroot juice
Application: dabbing with grated beetroot ball in a synthetic cloth
Opaque layer: conifer, beetroot leaf, fishbone fern frond, eukalyptus leaves
Exposure time: 7 days intermittent sunlight (two full day of sunlight)
Contrast was low so I had to work on this in photoshop.
Still life image of Beetroot, using light painting. I think that still life is one of the most creative photographic genres - Why?
Because you, the photographer, are in control from the start to the finish...You decide the lighting, composition and finish...It is your vision, your creativity...Some think that still life is easy, but it is not - there is much to consider. The composition of the shot is probably the hardest part and I find I spend a lot of time tweaking the composition just a touch over and over in order to get the look I am after. Then the lighting...Natural is great, but not too harsh, so a North facing window works best, and soft diffused light. Of course those days don't happen every day, so the photographer has to help nature with manmade diffusers - curtain nets, or the diffuser on the reflector. The time of day the shot is taken matters too...I find early in the morning, late afternoon (or in the evening for the light painting shots) work best. A tripod is a handy tool, as are tweazers to remove small unwanted elements, or a fine paintbrush to brush away dust spots...Still life is not an easy photographic genre...but it is one of the most creative and unique forms of art...In this image I used a tripod, the beetroot and bowl and a torch - diffused using a scarf wrapped around the front of the light...

A slice of beetroot, I was trying different things to do with beetroot and started to slice little slithers off and notice the pattern that came through with the light in the background, so here it is my beetroot slice showing the detail of the delicious vegetable, some use it in salads and some use it as hot vegetable with their nightly meal of "Meat and 3 veg" as we call it here in Australia. Personally coming from a European background cooked hot beetroot was a weekly veg at dinner time.
HMM to Everyone.
Starter of beetroot, Celeriac purée, beet ketchup,Jewish relish, candied walnuts and Muhammad’s filled goats cheese
that's Beans, Beetroot & Courgettes.
Totally unflattering shot of me, but those who know me will roll their eyes upwards because they know what I am like sometimes.
I've had a great time at my little lottie this morning. These veg are grown by yours truly and I'm feeling smug....and a little bit batty.
