Well, I'm kinda stuck on food photography nowadays! Its so much fun! :D (And really, the weather is so nasty, and spring is not arriving, so there's not much outside to use as subjects!)
Today I made a few dozen deviled eggs to bring to a bible study I'm attending tomorrow.
I took these pictures around 4:30 or 5 pm, on our kitchen counter which has a south facing window. It turned out to be great lighting!
I forgot to use our reflector board-had it right beside me but still forgot! Guess I got a little caught up in the moment! I was very happy with the overall set up.
Nobody else was trying to cook or clean in the kitchen, so I had free reign! That made the entire process quite a bit faster! :D
I wanted a crisp clear photo of the egg, with other eggs in the background. I wanted to portray deliciousness, creaminess, and have a 'fresh' look. I picked up some fresh parsley today to help give it that 'fresh' look, and also a pop of color. ($0.68 a bunch-totally worth it!)
I did a combined version of two of my favorites. (I narrowed it down to three, then couldn't decide so I had Lillian point out which she's like me to 'take away' :) Even a four year old's opinion can help!
I'm not sure though, if I like the 2 photos side-by-side better, or just the single photo. I enjoy the modern look of side-by-sides, but feel like its a lot of...eggs? But I also like it portraying two different angles. I decided to post it, as well as a single photo though, since I can't decide which is better!
PS I actually wrote this post yesterday, but the internet crashed right before I could upload the photos...So these eggs were already consumed :D

Orange Dark Chocolate Scones
So my best friend is staying over at my house for a few days. We decided to make and photograph Orange Dark Chocolate Scones.
We had quite a bit of fun re-style the scones in many different ways, spending several hours taking photos of scones! I wanted a rustic, homey, deep feeling for these pictures.
A little about these photos...
The background is a large piece of velvet that is hemmed, probably a small tablecloth, that I picked up at goodwill awhile back.
The scones are setting on a pizza stone.
It was afternoon in a sunny window, with the blinds drawn to diffuse the light.
Oranges and chocolate shavings are the primary 'extras' but we also used a very small pitcher, with orange glaze inside of it.
I used my Canon 60d body with the left (closeup picture) I used the 100mm 2.8 macro lens, the right (aerial picture) I used the 50mm 1.8.
I had my f stop around 5.6 and the ISO was pretty high, around 800 to 1000.
{And the scones with the glaze on top were delicious!}
