Food Photography

While I find my photography within me, I continue to lean toward commercials. I would include food photography also in my portfolio. I have taken an interest and continue to learn this segment. The below picture I took while at an event in Ohio. I wanted to tell the whole story of that evening, and that also included the appetizers that were offered that evening. Using natural light and having it backlight, I began taking a few pictures from different angles, and in this case, I liked the above shot. Next was to find the right crop, and this is what I picked for cropping. I enjoy doing macro photography and enjoying shooting food.

In contrast, I am not a food preparation or artist. I am learning from others what is important and not. You can always learn if you care and then take what you learn and practice. Not once, but multiple times.

Little time for Me

Nothing like having a little time for myself. While traveling up in Wisconsin, I finally got some fall pictures I have been after. No pressure, time to think and look at different angles. Look at the light and what it was giving me because I forgot my tripod. I handheld this picture. Using F8 ISO 200 and speed of 100. Next was to take it in Lightroom, I cropped and vibrance the colors. Last went to sharpen it using Topaz. I love my time. It gives me a chance to take a deep breath, get what I am thinking, and practice my skills again.
