328: Pepper Juice Purses

Not seaweed, but capsicum. The firm pockets of juice on the inner walls of this yellow pepper are very shiny, and are highlighted very effectively by lighting sideways on.

Settings: f/8, 1/4, ISO 100, 50mm Pentacon M42, 68mm extension, 1/4 flash, tripod. Colour and levels adjustment, slight sharpen and crop.

321: Bad Apple, Raw Shark

Prior to the inevitable removal of moth larva-eaten areas before consumption, this apple inspired me when cut in half. I was already expecting the damage, due to the tell-tale hole in the skin, but this pattern interested me.

Settings: f/8, 1/180, ISO 100, 50mm Pentacon M42, 19mm extension, 1/4 flash, white card, tripod. Levels & colour adjustments, slight sharpen, crop to 4:3.

220: Birthday Cakes

Delicious cakes! The cake in the background had candied ginger and amazingly mirror-like hearts on top, while some of the chocolate leaves on the foreground cake were cast from geranium leaves - a side effect being that the geranium taste could be tasted on them. It was an acquired taste for some, but I found it extraordinary.
I feel genuinely spoiled today.

Settings: f/2.5, 1/180, ISO 100, P-FA 50mm, 1/4 bounced flash.
