Plantains

Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 2 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

The plantain (pronounced /ˈplæntən/, /ˈplænteɪn/, or /plænˈtion/ ) is a crop in the genus Musa and is generally used for cooking, in contrast to the soft, sweet banana (which is sometimes called the dessert banana).

I've left a comment on my photo - but the quick answer is natural lighting, side lit with a large reflector!

I could never figure out how to cook Plantains. I've tried and did not have much success. I love the DoF on this shot. Really awesome PoV for something so ordinary.
