On my blog Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness
you will find great shots, not so great shots and some down right
crappy shots. I don't really care about perfection of photography on my
food blog. I care about sharing recipes. I care about sharing my enthusiasm for good, whole food, canning and whatever tricks I have
learned along the way.
When there is food that I can spend my time on, setting up a shot, I like to do just that. I like to pick colors, pick plates, pick angles, pick composition. I play around with all that. Must admit that I have a collection of mismatched plates that I like to use for shooting. When I see something cool at a garage sale I buy it. Just a side note, I recently found a dish made in Italy for 25 cents. "How do you do Mr. Plate, you certainly are handsome." It was quickly added to my collection.
There are a lot of great blogs out there that will tell you how to set up shots and all that information is free on the Internet. Isn't that majorly marvelous? I think so. You can make your own lightbox. Very cool. Especially useful in the winter when natural lighting is at a premium. Of course if you want to pay money, you can take classes from people who have mastered their game. Also pretty fabulous but unfortunately I don't have that kind of money for that or really that kind of desire for that. I prefer to spend my money on quilting and my kids. Maybe not in that order.
So what is this post about? Me setting up a shot and sharing it with you in pictures. Period.
