The bright flame certainly fooled the cameras sensors...
With not a whisker singed, he resumed his slumber, and the digestion of his curry supper.....

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina.[3] It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces.
When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. Triggers may occur if one-tenth of the insect is within contact.[4] The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.
Dionaea is a monotypic genus closely related to the waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa) and sundews (Drosera), all of which belong to the family Droseraceae.
People use the juniper berry to make medicine. Juniper is used for digestion problems including upset stomach, intestinal gas (flatulence), heartburn, bloating, and loss of appetite, as well as gastrointestinal (GI) infections and intestinal worms. It is also used for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney and bladder stones. Other uses include treating snakebite, diabetes, and cancer.

''...Mi sa che è questo il mio limite: mi mancano le conclusioni, nel senso che ho l'impressione che niente finisca mai veramente.
Io vorrei, vorrei davvero che i dispiaceri scaduti, le persone sbagliate, le risposte che non ho dato, i debiti contratti senza bisogno, le piccole meschinità che mi hanno avvelenato il fegato, tutte le cose a cui ancora penso, le storie d'amore soprattutto, sparissero dalla mia testa e non si facessero più vedere, ma sono pieno di strascichi, di fantasmi disoccupati che vengono spesso a trovarmi. Colpa della memoria, che congela e scongela in automatico rallentando la digestione della vita e ti fa sentire solissimo nei momenti più impensati...''

Bearded Reedling - Panurus Biarmicus
Norfolk Titchwell
aka Bearded Tit. (M)
This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.
Often having to take grit in order to help digestion.
The bearded reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate other than eruptive or cold weather movements. It is vulnerable to hard winters, which may kill many birds. The English population of about 500 pairs is largely confined to the south and east with a small population in Leighton Moss in north Lancashire. In Ireland a handful of pairs breed in County Wexford. The largest single population in Great Britain is to be found in the reedbeds at the mouth of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where there may be in excess of 250 pairs.
Other Breeding areas include Norfolk and Somerset and Alkborough Flats, lincolnshire.
Population:
UK breeding:
630 pairs
Europe:
232 - 437,000 birds
Surprisingly, Dandelions are full of nutrition!They are packed with Vitamins A, C, K; they also have minerals like Iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium! Plus don't forget fiber! The roots contain inulin which support healthy gut bacteria and digestion.. In addition, they are an Antioxidant, and have anti-inflammatory properties!
That is a tall bill to fill for such a little flower!
Enjoy your day and keep it healthy! :-))
This is a Long-tailed Skua chasing an Arctic Tern in Spitsbergen. Small numbers of this skua/jaeger breed in the Svalbard archipelago because they are usually reliant on lemmings for food, but there are no lemmings on Svalbard. So they have to resort to the family business of mugging other seabirds for their food. I say family business because Arctic Skuas (aka Parasitic Jaegers) are inveterate muggers. When birds have ingested food it first goes into the crop, which is just a storage place before the food continues on to the gizzard where it is macerated then passed down for digestion. So if and when this Arctic Tern regurgitates its last meal to stop the chase the food is undigested from the crop. So it's a bit like having the contents of its shopping bag taken by a mugger, rather than being chased until it is sick.
Long-tailed is the smallest and lightest of the Skua/Jaeger family and you can see here that it isn't that much bigger than its Arctic Tern victim. You can also see its distinctive long tail, which is noticeably shorter in Arctic Skua/Parasitic Jaeger. The background here is patchy, melting snow on a mountainside.
Aurelia aurita (also called the moon jelly, moon jellyfish, common jellyfish, or saucer jelly) is a widely studied species of the genus Aurelia. All species in the genus are closely related, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
The jellyfish is translucent, usually about 25–40 cm (10–16 in) in diameter, and can be recognized by its four horseshoe-shaped gonads, easily seen through the top of the bell. It feeds by collecting medusae, plankton, and mollusks with its tentacles, and bringing them into its body for digestion. It is capable of only limited motion, and drifts with the current, even when swimming.
From the Middle Ages, beetroot was used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, especially illnesses relating to digestion and the blood.
A Great Egret spin-dries a menhaden before it goes down the gullet. It takes a lot of menhaden to fill the tank and excess swamp water apparently hinders digestion.

Nació dentro de una letrina. Cuentan que Juana La Loca confundió la llegada de su primer hijo varón, con una terrible descomposición que se apresuró a solventar. Para su sorpresa no eran restos de una digestión pesada lo que se encontró, sino al futuro dueño de Europa.
Hablaba muy mal el castellano. Con los años Carlos V aprendió a valorar la importancia de la tierra de su madre y a hablar con cierta fluidez el español, pero al principio, para un joven nacido y criado en Gante, los reinos españoles le sonaron remotos y poco interesantes. Rodeado de consejeros extranjeros y con un fuerte acento extranjero, Carlos desembarcó el 8 de septiembre de 1517 en España. Tardaría años en conseguir sacudirse la impresión de ser un intruso en sus propios reinos.
Además de español y francés, hablaba con fluidez alemán, inglés, italiano y neerlandés.
Fue un mujeriego. A pesar de que solo tuvo una esposa, Isabel de Portugal, si tuvo numerosas amantes antes y después de casarse que dieron por resultado cinco hijos naturales, entre los cuales destaca Juan de Austria y Margarita de Austria, madre de Alejandro Farnesio. Curiosamente su primera amante, Germana de Foix, fue la esposa de su abuelo materno, Fernando el Católico. El monarca aragonés pidió a su nieto que se encargara de cuidar de su esposa si el fallecía. El Emperador se lo tomó al pie de la letra...
Retó a un duelo a Francisco I. La rivalidad entre Carlos V y el rey francés, que cayó prisionero en la batalla Pavía, alcanzó cotas de máxima virulencia cuando Su Cesárea Majestad desafió a duelo singular al galo. Francisco, que había incumplido los términos del tratado firmado durante su estancia en Madrid, hizo oídos sordos y, ante la insistencia del español, encarceló al embajador en París e intermediario en el desafío, Nicolás Perrenot Granvela.
Murió en Extremadura. A los 58 años, Carlos V, desdentado y con la apariencia de un hombre de setenta años, decidió abdicar y retirarse a Cuacos de Yuste en busca de su particular refugio del guerrero y de un clima propicio para la gota. Allí le eran enviados toneles de cerveza alemana y flamenca, sus predilectas; ostras de Ostende; sardinas ahumadas; salmones; angulas; truchas; pasteles enviados por su madre; salchichas picantes; magros chorizos, etc., que no hicieron sino empeorar su estado de salud hasta el punto de tener dificultades hasta para vestirse solo.
Finalmente falleció de fiebre palúdica, causada por la picadura de un mosquito proveniente de uno de los estanques construidos por el experto en relojes e ingeniero hidrográfico Torriani.

A crow swallows small bits of gravel/stones that act as teeth in the gizzard, breaking down hard food such as seeds and thus helping digestion. These stones are called gizzard stones or gastroliths and usually become round and smooth from the polishing action in the stomach
A geographically-variable, dumpy-bodied, brownish-gray bird with a long, scruffy tail. Differentiated from other mousebirds by its blackish face and gray-brown crest. It is often found scrambling through bushes and tangles, creeping around on short legs. In flight, it flutters rapidly, and its tail seems to drag it down, as if it were too heavy to make it to the next bush. Occurs in small, sociable groups in forest edge, savanna, thickets in grassland, and gardens, feeding on fruit, leaves, flowers, and nectar. After eating, birds may hang upside-down and expose the black skin on their bellies to absorb heat and aid digestion.

Kimchi is made of various vegetables and contains a high concentration of dietary fiber, while being low in calories. One serving also provides up to 80% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C and carotene. Most types of kimchi contain onions, garlic, and peppers, all of which are salutary. The vegetables being made into kimchi also contribute to the overall nutritional value. Kimchi is rich in vitamin A, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), calcium, and iron, and contains a number of lactic acid bacteria, among those the typical species Lactobacillus kimchii. The magazine Health named kimchi in its list of top five "World's Healthiest Foods" for being rich in vitamins, aiding digestion, and even possibly reducing cancer growth.
Traditionally, the greatest varieties of kimchi were available during the winter. In preparation for the long winter months, many types of kimjang kimchi (hangul: 김장 김치) were prepared in early winter and stored in the ground in large kimchi pots like those above. Modern kimchi refrigerators offering precise temperature controls are used by many to store kimjang kimchi today. Even so, many still use the pots above for kimchi and other sauces.
November and December are traditionally when people begin to make kimchi, and women often gather together in each others' homes to help with winter kimchi preparations.

……Each rosette of these tiny flowers is only about 1 - 1½ cm across so each little flower about a millimetre or so! What I liked about it are the tiny Alien like stamen that look a bit like eyes peering out! I add the leave of this to our salad leaves to add a bit of extra flavour. The plant probably originated in the Mediterranean but has a widespread use in alcoholic beverages and common recipes across the globe. Much of its use was also as an anti-inflammatory, skin conditioner, menstrual support, gastric balm and much more. Lovage is probably best known as a digestive aid, relieving flatulence and other stomach discomfort. In addition to helping digestion, lovage was commonly used to strengthen the heart and as a respiratory aid. It was also useful as a diuretic, to treat kidney stones and as a blood purifier. It was traditionally used to treat gout, rheumatism and skin problems. Alan:-)

Qué vaporosa la naturaleza de las certezas, ¿no crees? Qué fácil llegar a un punto donde la evidencia no es en realidad tan evidente y comienza a ser necesaria la elucubración; las profecías y las labores (clari)videntes. Como si las sólidas aseveraciones de hace unas horas, las que hizo la que era yo hace un ratito, pudieran verse afectadas por la forma en que me sentó el aire o la digestión de los gradientes de la tarde. Qué le pasó al cielo esta tarde, por cierto -me circunscribo al momento y al contexto- , parece que le cayó una pintura encima que me ha dejado las manos llorosas y la carne viva. Este fuerte olor a esmalte me evidencia lo que quizá siempre ocurre y yo no veo; intuyo la intensidad con que el instante me sostiene y su insistencia en forma de lanza; mi cuerpo esclavo intuye y llora. Pero advierto que no lloro de dolor sino de intensidad, de esta magnitud con que la realidad se introduce en estos torpes receptores y los viola, los supera -me supera-; lloro del llanto que mi cuerpo (esclavo) intuye y llora. Y a pesar de todo, aunque me declare presa de la sensación y botín del abusador instante, ¿puedo tener seguridad de esta certeza? Cómo distinguir si el abuso lo comete el momento y sus celos de lo pretérito y lo pendiente, o si es culpa de esta vulnerable piel que camina vuelta y a tiras. De esta sensibilidad. Presiento que ni el hecho de asegurar si esto es un callejón sin salida pertenece a mis jurisdicciones; diría que "casi sé" que siquiera las palabras me darán el crédito para ser(me) creída. Y no es cuestión de dónde pisar; sólo de saber si en esta habitación a oscuras hay un suelo que quizá no existe. No es la veleta -hoy no-, no es el rumbo o la trayectoria; la duda está en afirmar el artefacto, la referencia; creer la etérea veleta que no es veleta sino aire.
1. Te ayuda a adelgazar y no retiene líquidos. Es perfecto para las dietas de adelgazamiento por sus propiedades diuréticas y por su capacidad de saciarte. Tiene un alto contenido de agua y un reducido nivel calórico.
2. Mejor digestión. Por eso se recomienda tomar en el desayuno. Es el aliado perfecto contra el estreñimiento por su alto contenido en fibra. La digestión y el tránsito intestital salen ganando. Y tú con ellos.
3. Piel radiante. El kiwi es rico en vitamina E, que estimula la producción de colágeno ayudando a proteger la piel del sol y a mejorar su apariencia general. Es un protector natural contra los rayos UV.
4. Salud de hierro. Esta fruta, rica en vitamina C y ácido fólico, sube las defensas y evita los tan temidos catarros además de mejorar tu sistema inmunitario en general. De igual forma es muy recomendable para quienes sufren de anemia ya que acelera su recuperación.
5. Previene enfermedades. La luteína presente en el kiwi reduce el riesgo de sufrir cáncer, enfermedades cardíacas, degeneración macular o cataratas.
6. Fuerte como un roble. El kiwi fortalece los huesos y ayuda a un adecuado desarrollo y funcionamiento de nervios, músculos y órganos. Si tienes hijos, deberías empezar a recitar las mismas frases que tuviste que escuchar tú durante la infancia. Solo que ahora ya tienes unos cuantos argumentos más en tu poder.
I'm very happy to say that our little Jack is once more back in the land of the living after ten days in intensive care. During that time, he ate little himself and we were obliged to syringe feed, on some days, four or five times. If guinea pigs' digestions aren't kept moving, they do succumb very quickly to their illnesses so syringe or spoon feeding is a must. But now he's eating very well again on his own, looking very lively and interested in normal guinea pig activities once more, so we are so relieved and delighted to have our little Jack back.

At night, the four digesters of the Bottrop wastewater treatment plant, which are over 50 meters high, are illuminated in blue.
“It was a fun trip, you have to agree to that, Posh?” Asked Sky.
“I have had better and would have preferred not being involved to be honest.”
“Why is that Posh, after all there was nothing much to it really?” Asked Barnaby.
“That is so true, Barnaby, we went all that way only to come all that way back again.” Added Bertie.
“You can’t blame Ellie for that guys, how was she to know that the moon wasn’t there.” Asked Sky.
“She could have looked before we set off.” Answered Posh Bear.
“Be fair, Posh, we could all have looked before we set off, and you know how it comes and goes all the time. There always was a chance of it not being there.” Said Barnaby.
“I know, but did she have to return all that way in reverse? It wasn’t as if she didn’t have room to turn around in. Flying backwards and downside up does not do much for a bears’ digestion.”
“I agree with you there, Posh, I went right off my honey the following day.” Said Sky. “I only had two jars all day.”
Posh looked at his friend and shook her head in amazement.
“I just do not understand where you put two jars of honey in such a small bear.”
“I did offer some to Barnaby, Posh, but he wasn’t feeling too good either so he didn’t have any. I don’t like to see honey wasted so I thought I had better step up and finished it. You know what I really, really, wish?” said Sky.
“I can’t think, Sky, what is it you really wish?” Asked Bertie.
“Well, instead of honey being in tall jars with small openings, I wish it was in wider jars with very wide openings. It would make it so much easier to get every bit of the honey out and into my tummy.” Explained Sky. “In fact, I think I will ask the buzzy things to do just that when I next see them.”
“If it were big enough, Sky, we could sit in the jar and eat at the same time.” Said Barnaby looking excited at the idea.
“Changing the subject from jars of honey, what did Ellie say about this trip. I was going to ask when we landed but she was already sound asleep.” Asked Bertie.
“I think she was sad that the moon had hidden itself away, but she did ask me to order as many chocolate buttons as the store had when I next order the honey.” Said Sky.
“I dare say she is running short of fuel for the ellicopter then. At least without fuel she won’t be in the air flying about scaring everything else up there.” Said Bertie.
“Will you order some for her, Sky?” Asked Posh.
“Yes, Posh, I have done so and have bought as many as I could because she said that if I didn’t she would go herself and get some and we all know what happened last time she tried to do that.”
“Yes, going straight into the warehouse of the store and loading box after box of buttons in the ellicopter didn’t go down too well and she didn’t help by offering to pay for it with an old frisbee and then expecting change.”
“I asked her about that Sky, she explained that she only used the frisbee because she didn’t have a dustbin lid to pay for it with. I told her that you had to pay for things with a piece of plastic but I don’t think that helped much. She said next time she would have a plastic bottle and use that to pay for it with.” Said Bertie.
“Ellie has never quite got the hang of hooman payments schemes.” Said Posh Bear.
“Anyway, it is ordered and is what she asked for, but when the huge lorries arrive, I have no idea where she is going to store all the boxes.
“Ho-hum…” Said Barnaby smiling.
Nine Reasons to “Eat Your Radishes”!
As a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli, radishes have a host of health benefits but are typically under-appreciated – pushed around on crudité platters until they’re all that’s left and then drowned in ranch dressing to wash them down. Nevertheless, below are nine amazing reasons to “eat your radishes!”
1. Naturally cooling
2. Sooth sore throats
3. Aids digestion
4. Prevents viral infections
5. Eliminates toxins
6. Protects against cancer
7. Relieves indigestion
8. Low in calories, high in nutrients
9. Keeps you hydrated

Ce poisson savon semble avoir soit un problème de digestion et de transit ou alors il a mangé un gros poisson qui a du mal à passer. En tout cas, ce gros ventre n'est pas habituel du tout.
*******************************************************************************
This soapfish has either a big digestion issue or it has eaten a fish which is too big for him. In any case, this big belly is very unusual.
Species Lonicera involucrata
Genus Lonicera
Family Caprifoliaceae
Flower colors yellow
Flower shapes tubular, hairy, 1–2 cm long, and are monoecious
The plant used to be used for various things. Even thought the berries are bitter tasting, they are edible. The berries were also once used as a rub-on dye to prevent the hair from turning gray.
Native Americans also used it as a black pigment for other reasons. The twigs and stems were used for medical reasons such as digestion problems and as a contraceptive. The black twinberry isn't used for medical reasons anymore.

It is not my intention to insult the intelligence of the president of the US of A. I am merely being sarcastic.
(Thursday President Trump asked medical experts to look into the possibility to inject disinfectant as a treatment to the coronavirus.
Friday the president claimed he was being sarcastic.
President Trump has a history of falsely claiming that serious but controversial remarks had been sarcasm.)
Under no circumstances should any disinfectant product be administered into the body through injection, digestion or any other route. It could kill you.
Act responsible.
Stay safe.

Lavender is an aromatic, tonic herb with a sweet scent. It relaxes spasms, benefits the digestion, stimulates peripheral circulation and the uterus and lowers fever. It is anti-septic and has an anti-depressant effect.
Essential oil of lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in hospitals during WWI to disinfect floors, walls and other surfaces.
An infusion of lavender is claimed to soothe and heal insect bites. Bunches of lavender are also said to ward off insects. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as an aid to sleep and relaxation: Seeds and flowers of the plant are added to pillows, and an infusion of three flowerheads added to a cup of boiling water are recommended as a soothing and relaxing bedtime drink. Lavender oil (or extract of Lavender) is claimed to heal acne when used diluted 1:10 with water, rosewater, or witch hazel; it is also used in the treatment of skin burns and inflammatory conditions.

La cipolla rossa di Tropea, certamente tra i prodotti più interessanti dell’intero panorama agricolo italiano, è estremamente versatile: si utilizza come base per soffritto di sughi, abbinata, ad esempio, alla pizza con tonno e olive, lavorata nella caratteristica marmellata di cipolla. Ma è cruda con un filo d’olio extravergine d’oliva che è consigliabile consumarla per beneficiare appieno delle sue proprietà nutritive.
Largamente consumata durante il Medioevo e Rinascimento, periodo in cui era considerata il principale prodotto dell’alimentazione e dell’economia locale, barattata in loco, venduta ed esportata via mare in Tunisia, Algeria e Grecia, la cipolla rossa di Tropea è ricca di qualità benefiche che la rendono preziosa per la nostra salute: essa previene l’infarto e l’invecchiamento cellulare, riduce la quantità di colesterolo e di trigliceridi nel sangue, stimola la digestione e il metabolismo. Inoltre ha azione diuretica e antidiabetica,giova a chi soffre di ipertensione, obesità, reumatismi, artrosi, gotta e malattie renali.

When sliced open and cut into sticks for chewing, sugar cane is sweet and juicy, and actually good for your teeth, digestion and metabolism. It's only when processed and refined into table or cooking sugar that it becomes toxic, addictive and bad for your health.

Интересные факты.
Применение боярышника с лекарственной целью известно со времен Диоскорида (I век нашей эры) как средства лечения сердечных заболеваний, бессонницы, головокружения и одышки.
Плоды боярышника применяются и в кулинарии для приготовления варенья, джема, повидла, киселя, суррогата кофе и чая. Муку из сушеных ягод добавляют в тесто для получения хлеба с фруктовым привкусом.
Жидкий спиртовой экстракт плодов боярышника был рекомендован к применению в медицине во время Великой Отечественной войны Е.Ю. Шассом для лечения сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний.
В китайской народной медицине плоды боярышника на протяжении ряда столетий использовали для усиления пищеварения при заболеваниях желудка и кишечника, а в сочетании с вином — при болезнях сердца. Боярышник с большим успехом назначался при различных невротических расстройствах в качестве успокаивающего средства.
Drosera capensis, commonly known as the Cape sundew is a small rosette-forming carnivorous species of perennial sundew native to the Cape in South Africa.
When insects are first trapped, the leaves roll lengthwise toward the center. This aids digestion by bringing more digestive glands in contact with the prey. The plant leaf surrounds the prey within an hour while tentacles continue to move to further trap the prey. Digestion takes well over 6 hours after a prey's original ensnarement.
The plant captures their prey by luring it through the dazzling digestive secretions produced on the tentacles of the leaves. The secretion acts as a visual signal, as it shines in the sun and through the red tentacle tip, and is also a chemical attractant that attracts insects.
Grouse will eat the needles on trees in the absence of berries. Then to aid in digestion they will eat grit. This is the first time I had the opportunity to observe a Spruce Grouse feeding. In the previous photo one of the two observed was eating needles from the spruce tree. The grouse was not concerned about oncoming traffic, not even the size of a transport truck. I was dreading the possibility of it being struck while observing, fortunately that did not happen.

Collared Dove / streptopelia decaocto. Northumberland. 18/06/24.
'WHY.'
Really not a bird I associate with rocky shores, so I was surprised when this Collared Dove kept dropping down to the beach!
I watched it pecking between some of the pebbles, though what it was finding I have not idea. I've read since that Collaed Doves aren't fussy eaters and will peck at pretty much anything.
Other bird species noticeably focussed their feeding efforts on the strand line, where there were plenty of invertebrates to be found. However, you can see the CD's chosen spot looks quite barren. Perhaps it may have been swallowing larger grains of sand, to aid digestion?
All ideas welcomed ...
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
This was surprising. I was watching this yellow-crowned night-heron sitting in a tree, asleep. Then it opened its eyes, opened its mouth really wide, coughed this giant pellet out, then went back to sleep.

The pan beedi shop is found all over India. The owners combine various ingredients such as tobacco, betel nut, coconut, spices etc all wrapped up in the betel leaves you can see in the picture.They are found outside even luxury restaurants as many people enjoy a good paan for better digestion. Some of the special paans are even supposed to be an aphrodisiac or can simply give you a high. All depends what you ask for ...:)
(Especially made for the FlickrSocial topic, challenge and Take Over)
There are some branches of Photography that, in my opinion, are particularly challenging, especially shooting:
- jewels
- vine & liquor bottles with their tags or labels
- shoes
- tech devices (PC, tablets, laptops, phones etc.)
- macro food
I've challenged my skills in all the above categories, except Food, so I decided to grab the contest launched by Flickr Social. During a break from work I went to a Japanese restaurant and ordered 20 different dishes putting under risk my digestion, lol.
The 3 pics I published represent the Japanese food I liked the most in that Restaurant under a tasty or aesthetic point of view.
I avoided to shoot Nigiri 🍣 Sushi and Sashimi as they are most common, although particularly yummy, for me at least.
Willing to shoot directly on the spot and not in studio, this has been more difficult because premises have never the right lighting and, obviously, I had not my whole equipment. Therefore, it's been twice the fun to conceive some ideas to make it nonetheless. 😊
Right on top of the tartare I have put a mini roll of Futomaki Fumo (see description in previous post), decorated with a non-traditional light cheese cream.
On the tartare surface there is an row egg of quail spread with some sesame seeds. Due to the row egg, I could not eat this spicy dish but I though had fun to rearrange the display, rolling a leaf, putting a rice roll with light cheese decoration on top and photographing the dish from different angles. In 2nd row, as a bokeh, I've placed two Maki rice rolls, one with tuna, one with salmon, just to obtain a more DOF effect.
The white plate with semi-sphere shaped concave cavity is in ceramics.
Shooting location: directly on the spot at a Japanese Restaurant in the suburbs of Padua, Italy (Padova).
This has been challenging, not the right lighting, I had no tripod, it was crowded, the background was messy and not suitable.
Backstage unzipped: with the help of the waiters, since I had no tripod with me, I borrowed some additional empty trays to overlap and create a solid basement for my camera, just set in front of the served plate. I also requested some black fabric towels and covered the tablet to make a temporary background panel. I moved my table until reaching the position of a spot light in the ceiling. I used lots of patience and refrained from eating from other dishes, served in the meantime, until I was done :)
Macro and still life are mine. No flash applied.
