Indeed, I wd need any army of hungry hedgehogs, seeing as our blackbirds and thrushes seem to be in decline
Chicken keeper at the organic urban farm goes round the vegetables picking up slugs into a bucket and feeds them to the chickens. Eggs from there taste wonderful

What do they look like? I don't recognise the name. I have various items that came from something. Tumblers from Nutella is an other one.

hard light....slight overexposure....
polarizer and a difussion screen would've given the image a different look.
Thought about a makeshift defussion screen, I'll try that next time.



The larger tomatoes really are that orange and there is hardly and graduation at all, even in that harsh light. Apart from the very bright spots being burned out it is what I could see.

I did take a second image with a higher shutter speed but it seemed to dark on screen and in the histogram.

Only 1 stop difference:

Yes, but you'll probably hate me . . .
Oranges (still green), lemons (Some ripe, some not), peaches have all gone though . Oh and a few Olives . . . not ripe yet either.
Sounds wonderful, most of those won't grow well in Yorkshire

We have: pumpkins, butter nut squashes, courgettes, leeks, onions, garlic and tomatoes (+various herbs).

I'd like some fruit trees, but they are harder to get.

Well I went out to find a lot of tomatoes on my plants and thought I'd have a play with my camera at the same time.

K10D + SMC-A 28mm 1:2.8

The full image has such fine detail, I want more A primes! Sadly they are rare, unlike a set of K and M primes which can be found anywhere; 28mm, 50mm, 100mm and 135mm K/M lenses seem to be in every shop I go into!

Yes they are all ripe, Sungold are the larger ones, can't remember what variety the cherry tomatoes are. All really sweet and full of flavour.
