I'm a cook and I always loved working with Romanesco...not for its taste
Only because the Fractal geometry of nature by Benoรฎt Mandelbrot fascinated me

cauliflower are really fun to take pictures of. love the fractal aspect of them.

A very beautiful example of fractal patterns in the nature.
I love it! (:

I haven't - I don't think my macro lens is good enough!

i love these fractals ;
it almost looks like a negative
compsotion is great (and i know it's hard to shoot, i've tried already!)

if I clearly understood what a fractal was then I might agree but have never really understood them!!

Hmm, how to explain... basically a fractal is a mathmatical formula that makes recurring patterns... these patterns seem to appear in nature a lot.. try this link [link] I have a neat little fractal program if you're interested?

thank you very much for this - had a look at the link and it helped me understand what you were talking about - brilliant - always wanted to know what they were!!!

After seeing this I almost immediately told my lady friend that we needed to buy some cauliflower the next time we went to the store. Don't be surprised if you see an image of it sometime down the road in my gallery!
Brilliant execution. It is very other-worldly...I never would have guessed what it was. I imagine the aperture was f/16-f/22 given the magnification and great DOF.
Very well done!

thank you Ryan. Unfortunately I can't remember the aperture. It wasn't your average cauliflower if you're buying some by the way. If you check the comments I think someone named the type it is but it certainly wasn't one I was aware of before. Good luck - you should get a great shot of it

I realized that today when looking at some cauliflower from our freezer...not even close to the same! That's ok...I like challenges. One day I will find this mysterious cauliflower.
Seeing that shot prompted me to break out my extension tubes and go beyond 1:1 today (actually just beyond 2:1), so thank you for that!

good luck with your cauliflower hunt!!

strange vegetable hey?! Thanks a lot

STRANGE! It seems to be a microscopic world.

It certainly is an odd vegetable!

Sometimes...i'm an odd vegetable too
