For today’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, I’m sharing another shot of food. If you’ve ever dabbled in food photography (yes, your instagram counts!) you’ll know that lighting is everything. What I like about this image is how the highlights on the donuts help illustrate their freshness. Of course, that they are still sitting on the pan helps too…
Another tip when shooting food is to remove anything that you don’t need. Sometimes less really is more. That’s why I had to eat a few donuts first. 😉
Thanks to sharing sites like Instagram, we’re all now amateur food photographers. But food photography is an art in itself that involves carefully crafted positioning, the right amount of toasting, melting, etc by stylists to acheive an image that makes us salivate at first glance. While I am a trained photographer, I have never been a food photographer.
That said, I am pretty pleased with this pic that I snapped of the most delicous pop in your mouth sugary lemon cookie. Enjoy! (I know I did! #yum)
In the early hours of April 27, 2014, our fur baby, Ginger Costello died in her sleep. There were no signs that she was about to leave us; so we were completely unprepared for the gaping hole that is now in our hearts. Born on March 14, 2004 at Rotoxman’s Kennel as simply puppy #7, Ginger and her litter-mate Roxy (puppy #15) came into our lives like a hurricane. Ginger left us as a spunky 10-year old, full of p&v; and one of the greatest loves of my life.
This Picture Perfect Tuesday is in honour of Ginger Costello, aka Ginger-Bear, Boo-Bear, Hoo-Bear, Smoo-Bear, Furnace-Bear, Husky-Bear, Snuggle Bunny and my little Punk:
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday: The Ferris Wheel. Over the years I’ve taken a few images of ferris wheels, so this is the first of what I’ll call a series…
I meant to post this one last week but the day got away from me. I found these little nature bits in the woods while taking a wee hike in Virginia two weeks ago.
I’ve never seen them before so, of course, I took this picture! If anyone knows what they are, please let me know.
I captured this image of a shipping port with my iPhone while in the car (as a passenger) crossing a bridge near 1000 Islands on a snowy dreary morning. The softness of the image captured the feel of the day and I love the retro look that was the result. The grain is a result of the built-in digital zoom and I boosted the contrast with the PS Express App.
I popped over to the Ogdensberg, NY this weekend and these beauties were “parked” in the parking lot. I don’t know about you, but as a city a girl I am fascinated by horses and couldn’t resist snapping a pic.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday I give you “City Totems”. Hydro towers and lines – they are everywhere we look. For some reason these two towers, situated side-by-side, reminded me of Aztec totems. Do you see this too?
Winter is a great time for me to feed my obsession with how stunning frost can be. Did you know that frost crystals are actually translucent, but scatter light in many directions, so that a coating of frost appears white. Also there are many types of frost, such as Hoar Frost, which I discussed in a previous post, Radiation Frost and Window Frost.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, here’s a shot of some Window Frost that was on my car. It caught my eye, when the sunlight caught it…
Tonight is New Year’s Eve, the night that we cut loose and celebrate the passing of another year – noting our accomplishments and brushing off our failures as we welcome in a fresh year full of possibilities.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday on the eve of the New Year, I give you roots. Take a moment to think about yours.
