Posted February 27 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Welcome back for another round of the DC Photography contest, come and show us what you've got! This time, the theme is: Vegetables Submission deadline: March 19 Voting deadline: March 29 Rules: - One entry per person. - A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera - Screenshots are not allowed - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.). - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. - Winner hosts the next contest.

Posted March 3 No-one wants to take pix of veggies ? I can change the subject... Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3 Well, GF and I kinda went mostly vegetarian recently, and whatever she cooks is really tasty, but it seriously does not look like anyone wants to see a photo of it Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3 I probably have something, just haven't been properly able to check as yet! I thought it was a fun subject. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3 I think it's an interesting subject! I found an old picture that fits, but I've been considering taking a new one and haven't had the chance to set it up yet to see if I can make it work. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 3 Oh great. OK - just thought I might have gone TOO far off beam ! Share this post Link to post

Posted March 5 I'm entering with the purple pepper that I grew last season. It was delicious and I was so proud it grew nicely. Can't wait until spring here so I can try to grow some more. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 6 Purple is the very first color that it goes to, kind of like a green banana. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 6 (edited) My purchases yesterday. Spoiler Edited March 6 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post
Posted March 7 *scowls* The ice storm reduced my Red Russian Kale plants (which are purple) down to transplant size. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 7 We aren't looking for the best vegetable. We are looking for good photographs. A field of demolished cabbages might look fantastic! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 14 (edited) Romanesco. I was so excited to find this at the store. I've had it from a restaurant once but I've never cooked with it. I think I'm going use it in a pasta dish where I normally use broccoli. Spoiler This topic was really fun! I experimented with a few different setups, but I knew from the moment I found the romanesco that this was the shot I was going for. I made a little album of the other pictures I was pleased with, as well as a "behind the scenes" type shot, and my backup plan if none of these worked out (the pumpkin).

Posted March 14 @GhostMouse Very interesting. Looks like a forest of little pine trees. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 14 (edited) I've only ever HEARD of it - and everyone in the family except me is veggie (2) or vegan (2 more.) Come to think of it I think I thought it was some kind of lettuce... Edited March 14 by Fuzzbucket Share this post Link to post
Posted March 14 I have actually seen it in a market around here, but I think they called it green cauliflower, if i am not mistaken. The romanesco name was new to me. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 15 (edited) It's particular about its growing conditions from what I know of it. Edited March 15 by Long_Before_Sunrise Share this post Link to post
