The Spindle-Tree Euonymus europaeus is inconspicuous for most of the year. However, in the autumn its fruits ripen to a bright pink colour and, later, the leaves turn dark red. The final display of the fruits has the pink capsules opening to show the contrasting orange of the protruding seeds.
I am fortunate to have such a tree in my garden. My only regret is that the final touch would be to have a blue sky behind the capsules but neither the weather nor the location of the tree allows this.
The group of fruits was photographed with my Kiron 105mm at f16, with a main flash on an L-bracket, but angled almost along the lens axis, and a fill level with the lens. The close-up were with my Printing Nikkor at f11 with two fill flashes mounted on the barrel plus the main one on the bracket the FOV being adjusted to ca 25mm wide. The camera was my EM-1.
