its a nashi year

Our fruit trees are absolutely loaded this year, not sure what i will do with all the nashis, they usually all ripen at once! probably should have thinned them. Nashi only seem to have a decent crop about every three years.

a backlit photo using AEB ( auto exposure bracketing) for get-pushed
I kind of expected the camera to take the three exposures simultaneously with one click of the button but i seem to have to keep pressing the shutter? not sure if I am doing it right, this was +3 exposure

I like your POV. While I am familiar with the fruit, I wasn't familiar with this name until I looked it up. What do you make with this fruit? Checking out how to use AEB, since I believe this is a setting on my camera that I've never used. One of the tips says to put the camera on continuous shooting and hold the shutter down until you've achieved the number of shots you want.

@randystreat I'll have to consult the manual, i couldnt find that setting!
January 4th, 2023  
Wonderful bokeh! fav. I've found you have to hold the button down for continuous. It doesn't seem to do it all by itself!

@randystreat oh and its a problem what to do with them as they ripen all at once and they dont really cook well. i think i tried dehydrating them one year.

@kali66 They don't go bad too quickly though. I bought some that the owner of a Thai restaurant had grown and was selling back in the fall. They were tasty and lasted more than a week.

Ah! I worked for a farmer selling his produce all summer this year, and he had excellent Nashi (not what we call it here, but I'm not sure "Asian Pear" is appropriate term). I would imagine dehydrating them would be an excellent idea or cooking them with something to make sauces to freeze might be fun. They are abundant! I love the crisp bite of them!

Love Nashi and our tree is not doing well at all.

@randystreat Hi Kathy, I've just been doing the same thing although Nikon expressed it as HDR can have a selection of Auto then select continuous or single. or a specified EV range. but Ive found out just by looking I've always had my settings on AP but for this setting on the camera I had to change the Mode to P. It took the 2 shots then i waited for it to combine and walla. I'll put up a flower in the garden bed and got it when it had plenty of light contrast. It cut out most of the shading using the smoothing on the camera.

I don't remember nashis. Are they like fejoas?
January 4th, 2023  
Time to start canning...
January 4th, 2023  
I love those green tones!!!
January 4th, 2023  
Oh I hope you find a use for them - you don't see these much at all over here. Such pretty bokeh around the pears in your picture. A refreshing look.

Haven’t seen any fruit on our mashing tree as yet
January 4th, 2023  
I haven’t eaten nashis for years. Nice shot.
January 4th, 2023  
@steveandkerry nothing like Feijoas, they taste like pears, crisp like a apple, but much juicier
January 4th, 2023  
@bradsworld they dont really cook well, but i will have to try some experiments with them
January 4th, 2023  
@Dawn took quite a few years for ours to establish and like i said they dont fruit every year.
January 4th, 2023  
@helenhall i think they would grow well in English climate .
January 4th, 2023  
@yaorenliu pity, how old is the tree?
January 4th, 2023  
@darylo i dont like the skin but they are lovely in a fresh fruit salad
January 4th, 2023  
Je n'ai connais pas c'est fruit, joli cliché
January 4th, 2023  
wonderful snapshot of abundance indeed
January 4th, 2023  
How nice
January 4th, 2023  
Great pov and colour. I like the light that surrounds the fruit and leaves.
January 4th, 2023  
Nice capture
January 4th, 2023  
@kali66 I think I had it for more that 5 years, planted in the wrong place - not easy to feed it.
January 5th, 2023  
@mirroroflife I may have to try this. I pretty sure my camera does something like this.
January 5th, 2023  
Okay, now I want to try this fruit. I never heard of it, like, ever!
P.s...have you ever heard of paw-paws?
January 5th, 2023  
@blueberry1222 pawpaw are a tropical fruit grown in the Pacific Islands but there is a variety called mountain pawpaw that will grow in warmer parts of New Zealand, we can only buy them picked before they are properly ripe and shipped here but when i went to Australia we had ripe ones that were really delicious. I believe there is a type of pawpaw native to parts of the US but they are very different. Surprised how many people have not heard of nashi , i think they originate in Japan??
January 5th, 2023  
They are nice and crisp and juicy, but not a favourite of mine for some reason.
January 5th, 2023  
Lovely, never heard of them however I know I’d like them. Yum 😋
January 5th, 2023  
I’m a bit confused. Did you use the auto bracketing to take the shots a preset exposure difference apart, and then combine them in post processing? Or is this some kind of in camera function that combines them for you?
