OCOLOY Day 82: Vine Tomatoes

A friend's funeral this morning and the weekly shop this afternoon meant that I didn't get out for a photo-walk, so today's image is of these lovely ripe tomatoes. These, with the addition of chopped shallots and garlic, torn basil leaves, freshly ground pepper and sea salt and lashings of olive oil, became the starter for our evening meal.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.
Great shot - sounds like they'll be lovely.

fantastic light, sounds like a great start to the meal also.

Looks beautiful, tomatoes here are still mushy and tasteless. Sorry to hear about your friend!
March 23rd, 2016  
Even though they are in black and white, in my mind, they smell fresh from the garden. It sounds delicious.
March 23rd, 2016  
I like how perfectly they are formed. Sounds like a sad day, though.

Great capture and sounds delicious :)...sounds like a mixed emotion day

Such a sad day for you, sorry you lost a friend. However this is a great capture with lovely lighting.
March 23rd, 2016  
...and very good they were too.

It's hard to keeping going with a project on days like that, my condolences on your loss. I love that this is a monochrome image, breaking from the norm of vibrant red tomatoes.

They look so plump and fresh. Nice shot. Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Take the colour away and their shape and the light they reflect becomes more apparent.

I'm sorry for your loss.
March 23rd, 2016  
You play with light like a master. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry for your loss

doing all of your preparation above tomorrow and serving with freshly made ricotta gnocchi

@annied @annied It will go well with the ricotta Annie - here's a pic of a prepared tomato salad I posted in October 2014 - http://365project.org/vignouse/365/2014-10-06 No shallots on this one as I had run out... it's better with. Bon appetit!

A friends funeral in the morning and the weekly shop in the afternoon. A elderly family member tells me this has become the norm as they've got older. Vine tomatoes have such a wonderful smell and I can smell these, even in black and white. I'm reminded of the Ted Lowe saying "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green". Just great! fav

@gamelee I remember Ted Lowe saying that! It wasn't quite as stupid as it seems in retrospect because the green was on its spot and could be identified.
