Pummelo!

Mmm… Pummelo!

That’s part of my snack from tonight. Within 45 seconds of taking this image I grabbed this piece and popped it into my mouth. Mmm… It’s almost like a mild grapefruit.

Also, it seems I’m not the only one who has taken an interesting picture of a pummelo: http://justinsomnia.org/images/pummelo.jpg

That one has a bit more squick to it, and my pummelo wasn’t nearly as fleshy-colored. But I still like my photo….

Although I did screw up and leave the ISO at 400, resulting in a loss of a good bit of detail. Ah well. I still think it came out okay…

      I was surprised how thick the skin was, but it was quite tasty! They are also huge. I was a bit hungry when I decided to eat it, and that hunger was more than quenched.

    Hehehe…

    Thanks. :) It’s nifty, and it took a bit to get a handle on what one can do with it, but I have to admit that it’s worth it. :)

    Definitely grab yourself one if you can…

    Next I’m thinking that I want a macro lens which is better than my current one. Like… The Canon MP-E 65mm. Having seen some samples for it (almost every link here has some), I’m really, really tempted to drop money on a macro-type flash system and this lens.

      Oh? Have you decided that the inside of a pummelo will be good enough for you?

      ;)
