- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
This photo is more of a close-up rather than macro, but I was using a Macro lens (Sigma 28-80mm at 80mm macro). These Medlars are about 3cm across. This is a composite image using focus stacking in Photoshop. Each image was taken at f/22 for 0.8 second at ISO 400.
Medlars are supposed to be ripe for picking in November, but these were all windfalls. They have an interesting surface texture which I was trying to capture. You can see that these fruit are in various stages of 'bletting'. This is a fancy name for 'rotting'. They are supposedly good to eat raw when bletted. It is my intention to make Medlar Cheese out of them.
Comment and Criticism welcome.
