Behind The Photo contest - Edition #8 - My first entry - My banana plant by @yusmi
Hello dear steemit community and especially to the creators of this interesting contest. Here I present my first entry within 8 weeks of this contest having started. I have titled it: "my banana plant" and in addition to the stories of the photographs I will add a video that was made for the dtube platform but that for reasons and reasons outside my will was never shared by Dtube however today I uploaded it to my Youtube channel to share it with you.
These photographs below correspond to the courtyard or part of my house; there we have planted several banana plants which is a tropical fruit very rich in potassium and other minerals for the Venezuelan diet. As seen in this photo the fruit of the plant is ready to be harvested and when I decided to cut it from the plant it also occurred to me to take some pictures. The fundamental idea was to make a video tutorial on how to process the fruit once cut from the plant.
We currently have about five plants planted in a row in front of the house and when the load of the fruit is in its final process tends to bend the plant towards the soil product of the weight of the cluster as well and flame where the fruit is attached to the plant. This photograph was taken before removing the fruit.
It was a sunny afternoon at my house and with a lot of heat as it was about 4:00 p.m. when we decided to cut the plant; the photos where I appear were taken by my husband Gabriel Sumoza -gaborockstar in Steemit; the fruits although they are not yet for consumption were overflowing with health and natural beauty because it is considered that because of the appearance that it has in photography it was a quality product. These plants i add not fertilizers but water and lots of sun.
Here I am posing and i laugh at what I'm going to tell you... The camera posed on a tripod and my husband stood on my knees to hold from below this heavy cluster that I show here as if I had the strength to lift it. So, although he does not observe he is there helping me to sustain him because I could not with that weight ha ha ha.
Then we take the fruit to the sink and there we begin to dismember it from the stem where the "hands" rest which is the name given to the divisions where the bananas grow. Already the sun was setting and the light was getting brighter and brighter about to disappear and well once the plant is cut it secretes a viscous liquid that we call "milk" and that we must clean with a lot of water.
Already prepared the "hands" we decided to take this photograph on our table to finally show the community what the product ready to sell or consume should look like. I add from my Youtube channel this video that I had prepared to upload to Dtube but that I could not upload it in its time. Thank you all for reading and photographs were edited in the power point program of windows seven.

Wow it's beauty work... thank's for your mention in the post. Good lucky in the contest.
Doy constancia del proceso que has llevado con el cuidado de esta hermosa planta. Exquisitos camburitos, como para hacer una rica sopa!! Me dio mucha risa la historia, sobre todo cómo se las ingeniaron para realizar esa toma. Ya decía: ¨Esta mujer si que tiene guáramos ja,ja,ja,ja Suerte en ese concurso amiga.
Hola querida @belkisa y el proceso continuará con las siguientes jajaja. Y sí hay que tener mucha fuerza para cargar semejante peso je je je. Me alegra te hayas reído un rato pues aunque muchos no lo crean esa es la idea, pasarla bien en la comunidad de #steemit. Abrazos y muchas gracias por la visita.
