Botany Photo of the Day
In science, beauty. In beauty, science. Daily.

Cynara scolymus

Cynara scolymus

This globe artichoke, photographed in the Food Garden at UBC, is past its harvest date. Despite the gastronomic loss, allowing the 15cm wide composite flowers to bloom offers a visual delight.

Photography resource link: Sharpening 101, a tutorial by Thom Hogan on what I believe to be the most important “digital darkroom” technique.
