Nine Onions (Upside Down Edit)

Nine Onions (Upside Down Edit)
An old photograph which I have attempted to improve by turning it upside down and undertaking some judicious editing.
I used an old Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. It is light in weight and uncommonly sharp, even in this age of excellence in optical instruments. Its widest aperture is only f/3.5 and with the D2Xs being hopeless beyond 400 ISO, good light or flash is necessary. Since I hate using flash, I seldom use the lens. That is a pity.

Thank you. I suppose somewhere there are people who find onions interesting. I live a sheltered life and have never encountered any of them.

I hope you don’t mind, but I had to use one of the red onions to make a beef goulash this morning. It’s in the slow cooker. I’ll take a photograph of the goulash later, if you want.

It's ages since I had beef goulash. I've forgotten what it tastes like. Help yourself to the onions, they are self-replenishing.

You must know Craig Raine’s poem The Onlon, Memory. I always think of it when I peel one.

Thank you! I made a coq au vin today with two of the brown onions. It was a great success.
