Beautiful Broccoli
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 03:45 pmAt the farmer's market this morning* the farmer said: "it's an heirloom broccoli." I think it's too darn beautiful to eat. But it's an excellent reason to compare my old digicam against a very fancy (if older) loaner to see what I want from a new one.
( Cut for the hugeness that captivated me. Three closeups of one lime green cone of broccoli, composed of larger and smaller spiralling cones of broccoli, fractally nested and repeated finitely and hypnotically. )
(The hope is to shoot pix of my jewelry. Easier said than done. We created a macro-studio from a transparent plastic bin draped in muslin, with bright lights clipped outside and a seamless posterboard inside. But my old digicam won't let me adjust depth-of-field. Hence the loaner to play with. Actual jewelry pix only when they're publishable.)
*Moved inside until April 11. In a month the only freshness will be eggs and mushrooms, but my need for ground emu is year-round.
