The fifth photo in the vegetable series is a chive. Chives are actually a species of the onion family and you can find out more by going to the looking up the Wikipedia article on chives.

The fourth photo in the vegetable series has the subject of one lone scallion. You can find out more by going to the article on scallions at Wikipedia. In case you’re wondering, yes Australians do call this plant the shallot but its proper name is a scallion.
By the way, when you go to the shallot image on Contrasting Sharply you might notice that instead of the thick border around the image, you’ll now find a thinner one with some padding. Likewise on the home page, I’ve got rid of the intro text and big clunky borders. Go and have a look!

I’ve just realised why my camera batteries are lasting so much longer than usual. The reason is that I recently turned off my flash so I could get a low light photo without the flash. I then continued to leave it off and discovered that because the battery didn’t have to charge the flash up every time the camera was turned on, the batteries (rechargeable NIMHs) are lasting for a lot longer than they used to.
I am using an older Olympus camera, the Camedia D-540 Zoom. It has 3.2 MP of resolution and a 3 times optical zoom. This method of preserving batteries should work on just about every camera with a flash, however. Just remember to check if the flash is turned off if you start to think that it is broken, however!
The button for turning the flash off is located on the front of most cameras, not inside a menu. To turn the flash off, you should be able to just keep pressing the button with the flash icon until it goes onto an icon with a line through a tiny flash graphic. Check your camera’s manual if this doesn’t work for you.
