Mr. Perfect

I actually bought a 1 pound bag of frozen cherries to shoot...maybe in a vice or a c-clamp...but they were Black Cherries and while delicious in the extreme, (for $3.99 a pound they damn well should be!), they really didn't work....at being crushed....or at being red.

So some client gave me this huge box of apples...the apples themselves are huge, like grapefruit size, and so this is what this shot is....it may not look it, but it is one vast apple....lol

Note, no flash shadow or shine either!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Towards the end of my BSA career I was a unit commissioner and on district camping events all I had to do was walk by a unit camp site and they would invite me in for dinner lunch, breakfast, cobbler, s'mores even cream floats. If they were cooking you'd get invited in. The perks of being on the commissioner staff ooooh yea If I don't knock it off I'm gonna convince myself to return to the commessionars staff without any outside influence. Lord sure knows all the old commissioners sure try to get me back every time they see me. Paul.

When I was in the boy scouts we would take large apples like this and core out the middle and stuff them full with Red Hots and caramels, wrap them in foil and toss it in the camp fire for about 10 minutes or so. Then once you came up with a viable solution for getting it back out of the fire without loosing your eyebrows and arm hair they were quite good. Aw the good old days, ticks...chiggers... and skeeders, I think I miss it. Paul

This is a Fuji...I have asked the people that gave it to me. They were a large(ish) Amazon seller...and when you have this kind of problem, I am the last person you come see, (though I should be the first).

I hope I have changed some minds...I am kind of in a moral panic...these are good people unfairly canceled.

All I can do is wait to see if my moral suasion has any effect.

I don't actually know what kind of apple this is...I threw away the crate. Hummm...I will say that you can't eat an entire apple...and I like apples....maybe half of one, the other half turns brown and ends up being thrown away...lol

I've have also been giving them away to neighbors.

(a pickle? Working on an Amazon problem)

Correct we need a reference to gauge its size. PAul
