How long before the tomatoes get that hairy?
I think I left this too long - as you say, it's a bit tricky getting a nice composition when they get too long.
Yours,

but it does help
I have no idea if the spores are harmful to me or the lens
But I found my nose running (probably psychosomatic) and chose to leave it that way as some sort of defense
At one point I forgot myself and removed the lens in front of the toms with the camera still switched on.... probably sucked a cazillion little babies onto the sensor

Great shots thought, Is it difficult to compose?

Some are more equal than others
Still trying work out of the spore sacks are translucent and fill with black liquid and then dry out, or what? Some of them look half full - I'll try and find an image.
That's a fascinating subject choice - and photogenic into the bargain.
Rather than the globules being 'half full', they might be full droplets, but with a particulate matter that drops like sediment to 'the bottom'? If the spores are in suspension in a droplet for eg, what you may be seeing is some droplets with fewer spores looking more translucent?

What size are the black spheres?
About the size of a dot from a ball point....
I'll take a shot just for you Tim ... any excuse not to work
PS Slick watermark there, might steal that idea

The setup - 28mm soligor , reversed onto extension tubes. My Metz is still broken so I made do with a 1 sec exposure and firing the fill flash by hand.
This is the first one I noticed had potential
then I straightened it and left it soft and pastel coloured.
C&C welcome more work needed I think. Really need to get in closer so I can take the full frame.
