Mitchie has a couple of pots outside in which she’s growing chili peppers – the very hot sort from Thailand I think. And tho they’re still very young and tiny, definitely less than my own thumb size, I tried to take some photos of them since yesterday. First I took the “Pen” camera with the longest lens I have, the 40-150mm fully zoomed out (which is equivalent to a 300mm lens on 24x36mm film):
Young chili peppers
And today I tried again with my 50mm macro lens on the DSLR (like 100mm, but a lot closer than yesterday):
More young chili peppers 1/2
More young chili peppers 2/2
Young chili peppers, close-up
They’re moving a bit in the wind, so you really have to be patient and wait for the right moment if you don’t want to use a high ISO setting. Especially if you’re that close.
Thanks for viewing.
