Black And White Wednesday : Indian Pears!

I'm sure by now most of you must know that Susan posts a weekly collection of black and white photographs sent in by foodbloggers, in an attempt to see that black and white food photography gets its place under the sun. For more details please see her blog, if you would like to join in or just take a look at her weekly gallery of photographs.



(Canon EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens at aperture : f/ 3.5, shutter speed : 1/40s and ISO : 100)


Here is my contribution for this week, a study of Indian pears. Nowadays, we tend to get an almost confusing variety of pears from all across the world including the U.S., South Africa and China. I, however, eagerly await the arrival of these very small and almost rustic looking small Indian pears from Himachal Pradesh.
They are very juicy, fleshy and sweet leaving you with a faint hint of rose in your mouth after a bite.
I was lucky to find one with a dried leaf still attached to its stem, which gave me the idea for this photograph! This was shot in monochrome (black and white).
