Your pics are always mouthwatering!!

Feral, I just try to get as much natural sunlight as possible and use a flash fill. I had to adjust the exposure on this one because the MLPS tomatoes kept getting washed out. This was taken by an open window. I usually take them outside in full sun but it was too hot that day.

The best tip, which is easy with a digital camera, is take 10 and pick the best one to post.

I have a couple of questions: I'm looking for an intense cherry and does Isis Candy fit that description; is Tappy's any good as Tappy was the childhood nickname of my partner; and how do your rate Morgage Lifter Pesta Strain? I didn't know the latter was a yellow.

Thanks, Grub, who thinks he better grow Carbon this season.

I've grown PR before, and I don't recall it being as impressive tasting as Carbon. But, that was one of the worst seasons for me ever so that could have skewed my impression.

Nice to see you stop by. Bet you’re anxious to get those seedlings going. That was a great pic last year of your seedlings lined up in front of the heater.

Tappy’s is very good (Finest ol’ Tappy could come up with.. ;-)…). I have some still green that are huge compared the one in the picture.

The MLPS is excellent. Almost on par with Burrackers Favorite and much bigger. That’s good because my BF is very ribbed this year and none are ripe yet. Don’t know what happened there. Hopefully they will still be tasty. The tomato by the T in Tangella is a MLPS. As they ripen the red striping almost takes over. The very yellow ones aren’t quite ripe.

I tried Isis Candy last year at a tasting and just had to grow it this year. It’s sweet but still has a very good, rich tomato taste. So far I’ve tried 2 here and they haven’t lived up to expectations. I’m sure they’ll get better.

Good luck on your tomato starts and season,

Bruce

Hi Suze9,

I'll try them together with Black Krim and let you know. A few days ago I tried Black Prince and Vorlon. I much preferred the BP.

It’s nothing great, anyway not the newest Canon Digital Rebel that I’d really like to have. I’m using an Olympus D-560 4MP. I only picked that one because it was the best camera for the price at the time and I received a discount on top of that.

I do open the pictures with Photoshop and hit the sharpen button but I don’t adjust the color or anything else. I wanted it mainly for web pictures and it does a pretty good job at that.

Here’s the same picture before the labels. I can never remember what works in yahoo and what doesn’t so I hope this is one that works. (Picturetrail shrinks the photo)

Besides tomatoes, I want to take macro shots of insects so I found an interesting site called BugGuide.net. They have a forum where one of the threads discusses various camera questions. Of course the Rebel is mentioned as are others. Sure is confusing though--they all have their die-hard fans. Thanks again, Farkee
