20080831 - Banana

For the Achromatic August theme.

Time to eat the bananas before they go off too...!

Processing: An invert layer in difference blending mode, then a channel-mixer layer with the b&w infrared preset.

The end is here! So this is it in colour (darkened slightly, think I over exposed the original shot which worked well for the processing fettle, but not for the original. Also forgot the camera was still on ISO400, so a bit noisy. D'oh.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
1/200s f/6.3 at 50.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

well done! I had some that looked like these and threw them out this morning ... I have no creativity.

They look radioactive in B&W. Definitely time to eat them.

Too far gone for me, I'm afraid, I like my bananas 'just right' :-)
