Another shot from a few weeks ago experimenting with lighting on a sprouting onion.
Been busy getting the vegetable seeds started for the year and getting my daily workouts back on track :) and paying excessive fines for not registering the dogs on time again this year! :( grrrr.
Brussel Sprouts anyone?? It really surprised me when I went out to shoot some frost shots and found the Brussel Sprouts still green in January. These are still growing in the garden and yes they still taste good when cooked..
When I watered these cells a few days ago, there was nothing. Now, all my tomatoes and zucchinis have sprouted. This is the beginning of my 2024 veggie garden.
Taken with my "digicam", an Olympus Camedia C-720. The 2-in-1 feature is like using a half-frame camera, maybe inspired by the Olympus EE series?
Most people I know dislike brussels sprouts - which is a shame, as this little green dudes are made of health (not to mention the surprisingly high amount of protein). But bacon? Everybody loves bacon, and anything with bacon tastes great!
The key to brussels sprouts is just not to overcook them - overcooked sprouts are bland, devoid of any nutritional value, and taste of sulphur (think: hell). To be done right, they can be either steamed, or blanched in boiling water for a short time - this way they remain crispy and taste great. And look at this vibrant green - just look at it.
Add some walnuts for extra texture, sprinkle with thyme - and voila. Enjoy your meal. Trust me, it's absolutely delicious.

Just coming around from a wet cold, I thought it's time to check out a Zuiko OM 50/1.8 on the Lumix G1.
ISO 200, 50mm, f/4, 1/200s. Manual focus was on the onion greens. The 50 on a Micro 4/3 camera is equivalent to 100mm, and provides a lovely bokeh.
A small seaweed sprout. Manual composite of one f/8 shot to get the sprout clear, and one f/2.8 shot to allow the stone to be filled with bokehlicious reflections.

Single image of an untouched tree at daylight. The dark background is because of the fast shutter speed of 1/200 (minimum for the oncamera flash) and the flashlight from above.
Who would expect that (not-moving) trees are almost impossible to stack?
Sorry, I don't remember which tree it was.
Shot with the setup you already know (see the comments) stopped down to F11-16 if I remember correctly.
Brussels Sprout
- smoked pancetta, garlic, mozzarella, pecorino.
Lights out good! I still prefer red pizza, but this pie was excellent.
NB: Motorino menu describes this pizza as "BRUSSELS SPROUT", which is how I spelled it in the image description. That said, "Brussel Sprouts" seems to be used a lot more often in the US - so I did choose that spelling for the image title.
Please take a look at the entire Motorino picture set.
If you did a basic translation it says ... "In the dust, sprout the words of dreams" however, justamanPeter said it perfectly..."in the dust of words are born dreams"... my apologies...my French is rusty.. Peter you are perfect...
