I guess this is what happens when I am out of stuff to shoot :) Last night I was looking around the house for something to take a shot of but could not find anything. In the garage I found the box that had a few lemons and persimmons that one of my coworkers had brought. Of course there were also plenty of screws from the projects I have going and so I did a little fruit construction.
As I was looking at this I got this third grade or maybe 2nd grade knock knock type of joke that came to mind and here it goes :
" What did the persimmons say to the lemon? I don't want to get screwed :) "
The berry is bittersweet. Remember bitter-sweet memories :) The sunlight of summer was a very strong day. Thank you for your visits, faves, invites and kind comments. Have a good Friday!
Here's to standing up to the corrupt Republican Party!! Here's to standing up to years and years of entrenched, systemic racism. Congratulations Ralph Warnnock, Jon Ossoff, Stacy Abrams and all of the right thinking people who made this happen. Go Georgia!!
Let me explain: Georgia's run off system means that if two white candidates split the ticket, potentially allowing a black candidate to win, the black candidate would most likely still need to face a white candidate in a one-on-one election, where the odds are the white candidate would win. The system was expressly designed to keep black candidates from holding office in Georgia and it has basically worked as Georgia has never had a black U.S Senator before Ralph Warnnock. Ain't America great?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use this fruit as a 'cool' food to treat 'heat' in the body. Taken either fresh or dried as an element in the prescription. High Blood pressure, try this out.
So hard to resist a beautiful red apple.
They are a symbol of prosperity, wealth, temptation, perfecton, beauty, fullfilled goals and desires.
This is the remains of a Physalis (Peruvian Groundcherry) fruit case after it's spent several months in my compost bin.
It was a bit of an experiment during a fun evening of macro photography with other local photographers. It’s a ten-image focus stack using Affinity Photo 2 for the stacking.
The images were taken over the course of a couple of seconds using the camera’s automated focus adjustment sequence option. And that was where the experiment really began. Once you set up the initial focus, the number to take in the sequence, and the focus step then the camera does the rest. In theory. The problem is where to focus the initial focus and what to set the step size at (which will vary by subject distance and lens). The documentation is a little light :)
This was a sequence of 20 images but some of these were out of focus and discarded (the adjustment had gone too far). I only had time for three series and this was the best view and result.
The camera was on a tripod and the Physalis cage was on my LED light table which backlit it (with some ambient light). The result was a brown cage on a grey background (I didn’t overexpose it). This was corrected in processing using a Levels adjustment to make the grey backlight white.
I then decided to try making it with a black background but keeping the recorded colours in the cage. So using a curves adjustment in LAB mode I inverted the L luminosity channel, which preserved the colours in the mid-tones on the cage.
The rest was sharpening using High Pass/Linear Light blend and USM sharpening, tidying up the spotty background afterwards.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)
Have you ever had a taste for a fruit that you know you are not supposed to have?
