Expressions

People and expressions - theme for the next 2 weeks

Look around and try to capture expressions which we do not see very often…

Personally I find this very interesting for 2 reasons :

• We have a very large variety to shoot
• Difficult to shoot too as we will have to do it at high speed or good light . ( unless you are shooting under artificial light in a studio )

Enjoy yourself...

Is this appetizing enough?

I had read somewhere that in food photography props play an important role. This picture was taken in natural light by the window. I used a blue gift paper for back ground.

Yum yum banana bread

Woke up kinda early this morning. Its truly amazing the soft sunlight is in the early hours. Add to that, the pangs of hunger. In the fridge was the yummy banana bread that my wife had baked a couple days ago. Yum yum!

I used an aluminum foil to reflect light, my first time with reflectors. Had a prop to hold the foil in place while I tried to find the right angle to shoot from.

Hand held picture. Aperture 1.4. ISO 800.

Tea

What does tea look like as it is being prepared? I have always loved watching the infusion from the tea leaves as it colors the water a deep brownish-red. Adding milk to the mixture makes it go cloudy as it swirls around. This then is my attempt at capturing this swirling :)



I have done a bit of post-processing to adjust color levels and to crop the image. This really highlights my need for a polarizing filter - I would have liked to remove the reflections from the glass, but could not find any easy way to do it through photoshop.

Waiting to see more food on the blog ...
