Black Gold

Or a focus stacked cardamom pod.

I was doing some baking yesterday and I was struck by the appearance of these tightly packed, slipper shaped little beauties.

Cue the tripod...

Of, course kitchen lighting isn't the best, hence the mono conversion, again.  I also side-lit the pod using a small torch.

I may blip the product of my baking efforts tomorrow... if there are any left! :)
