Your Food Shots

OM NOM NOM NOM

whoa! that shot by Jennifer Stone of the lemon in the frothy drink made me do a double take - looked like a fried egg with a bit of garnish on it at first glance.

The crispy fried asparagus wrapped in prosciutto intrigues me! It looks delish!!!
Tried to look up recipe but none would seem to give same final result. Where was this from? A restaurant offering? Yummy!!!

Esquisite looking ceviche by Mark Mendoza. Yummmm!

Being a rookie, I find food tough to shoot. Lighting is tough. On-camera flash is usually too harsh for me, so I try to use indirect natural light as much as possible. I want the lighting to be very subtle, and usually fail miserably... ;-)
Where to focus is another issue, particularly with a whole plate of food. Do I want it all in focus, or do I just want to draw attention to something specific?
Guess I'd rather be outside shooting sports, wildlife, etc. ;-)

Place the knife on the right next time.

Mark's ceviche in full screen looks like a Dutch Master's painting at the National Gallery.

These all look delicious! Nice job, everyone.

as one who got to sample the turkey cupcakes, I concur with the baker/photographer - they were yummy AND adorable!

Where are the fried clams?

I like the meringues! Very well done!

Are you done loading the Food and the Peaceful Winter galleries - being a great procrastinator I got mine in late last week?

There are a LOT more to come, Pete ...

#147 looks like its from Antonio's in Amherst, MA. YUM!
