flying-fish roe*
by NewSushi

Flying-fish roe, otherwise known as Tobiko, is a popular type of sushi. The inspiration for the idea came as I decided to drown my uncooperative-hummingbird-sorrows at the local sushi bar.

Ingredients for this shot:

3 tobiko maki (one each of red, orange, and green)
1 large ball of wasabi in carrot flower garnish
1 serving of pickled ginger
1 purple orchid flower
1 sprig of fresh parsely
1 pair chopsticks
1 pot of lucky bamboo
1 window
1 shoji screen to filter the light
2 ott-lights to counteract the back-light

Enjoy.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/6s f/4 @ 40mm & pushed one stop. ISO 100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thank you for your comments!

I'm happy that you enjoyed the image. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed "cleaning up" after the shot ;-)

This is a beautiful image and really took some imagination to make the connection to flight. Nicely done!
