078: Long Potato Sprout

This is when you leave a potato in an eggbox on the windowsill, and a sprout from underneath the potato decides it's too dark where it is and starts to make its way upwards.

Settings: f/16, 1/180, ISO 100, 50mm M42, 33mm extension, full flash, white top reflector.

067: Swan Bean

Fiddling around composing bean sprouts on a piece of kitchen foil can come up with strange and unexpected results.
Like this, for instance. It was a bean, now it's a swan. The foil ripples gently like the surface of a calm canal. The only thing missing is a wake for the bean-bird, but I didn't want to mess with the foil this time. If I crinkled it wrong it might have ruined the effect.

Settings: f/8, 1/180, ISO 200, 50mm M42, 19mm extension, low flash, white reflector over top.
I actually messed up here; the end part of the sprout I aimed to focus on is slightly out of focus, but the light on the foil water looks quite convincing. Yes, I ate the sprout...
