Wilting gerbera

One of my favourite things to photograph - a wilting flower. I'd cut this stem from a plant on my window sill and was about to throw it away when I noticed how lovely the curling petals were, particularly when viewed from beneath.

I reduced clarity and vibrance in Lightroom to give the image a softer feel.

Camera/lens settings: ISO 400, f/5, 1/40s, 35mm, hand held.

Tiny tomatoes growing on a vine.

These are some of the first tiny tomatoes we grew last summer. My son planted 7 seeds from a cherry tomato bought at the supermarket - we ended up turning the conservatory into a temporary greenhouse and grew over 3,000 tomatoes from the 7 new plants!

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/8, 1/100s, 90mm, tripod, cable release.
