avocado

It's Saturday! Market day! Here's an avocado. What more can I say?

Except that this 365 thing is surely turning my head. I've spent an hour and a half taking a photo of an avocado. Am I mad???

[Rachel Holbrook]

Well maybe a tad mad :-)
Excellent lighting and focus :-)

[Bazza]

Not mad but dedicated, and it was time well spent, a marvelous photo.:-))

[Peter H]

@rvm Rachel, a tad mad is about right. Thanks!

[Peter H]

@bazza Thank you so much, Bazza!

[Lisa]

Excellent photo of a Avocado though! Great focus and detail.

[Paul Jones]

I'd say dedicated Peter. Nice light.

[Lisa]

Great shot Peter!

[Rosie Kind]

Not mad but keen to get a good shot and you've achieved it!

[Damian Powell]

Lovely shot. I like the square crop. Nifty fifty?

[Michel Dumas]

Worth the hour and a half. Nice.

[bardejov]

Great shot. Admire your determination.Love the texture of the avocado pit and skin. Also I kind of like the zig-zag background.

[ChrissyM]

It was worth it :-)

[Kim Crisp]

This project does make us do some strange things doesn't it Peter. Anyway your determination paid of as this is a great shot, well done.

Probably no more mad than the rest of us doing 365!! certainty worth spending the time on - as with all your fruit and veg, I can feel another kitchen picture coming on!! Beautiful clarity and detail

[Victoria]

Gorgeous sharp shot! I love the composition, too :)

[Peter H]

@positivemoments Thank you, Tracy, that's reassuring!
@vikoko Thank you, Victoria, you are too kind!

[Ariel]

An hour and a half taking a picture of an avocado? Welcome to 365, I'm afraid it does get like this... how did you get it to stand up like that?

[Gita]

Lovely lovely photo! It was worth the effort you put in!!

[Peter H]

@carmel Ariel, er... blutack. Or shouldn't I admit that???

[Peter H]

@yogee246 Gita, thank you!

[Amy D]

Great shot Peter, worth the time!

[Peter H]

@_amyd_ Thank you, Amy!

[Caryn]

Had to go back to saturday because I really look forward to your market day shots! Love your comp and lighting here. And I think we're all mad...I've lost so many hours trying to get something perfect, only to go with the first shot I took!

[Peter H]

@cmc1200 Caryn, thank you! Always appreciate your comments. Maybe we are all (just) slightly mad...

[Lynne]

Wow Peter, the focus is spot on, the texture is gorgeous and I like your placement

[Peter H]

@paddleandsnap Thank you, Lynne, appreciate that!
