I found these three seed heads in Perth, when walking to Bunnings. The grass was littered with them and it made for a careful walk. I picked up quite a few and discarded those which were damaged by feet and lawn mowers. I photographed them on a light cream coloured kitchen bench, deliberately overexposing to render the bench as featureless as possible. There is still a slight texture, but I think it is acceptable. The lighting is simply the morning sun, which was variable on the day and I needed to pause between shots to get the bright light I wanted, because I liked the shadows, especially those of the stems. I have no idea what the trees are. The seed heads walnut size. I finally decided to take my DSLR to Perth, after changing my mind several times, right up until we packed the bags! I think all photographers do that. Somehow I don’t feel properly dressed without that camera!
