I must say, i agree with you! For the messy part of course :bsmilie:

Should have used another simpler photo in the collage instead of having 3 'complicated looking' photos out of 4!
 

Not a fan of fruit cakes but after baking this, i'm now a convert! Especially when it is eaten warm with homemade brandied creme anglaise (custard sauce) or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. YUMS!

Hi Berriess,

I like your cooking and food photography. I have the same interests too, cook and then take pictures of the food. However, mostly cook only dinner, so only fluorscent light and photos don't turn out well.

Do you use any lighting for your food photography? What lens are you using?

Hi there,

Thank you!

Ahh dinner is tricky! I almost never take dinner photos these days :(

No special lighting for my photography. I rely on the sun ;) I'm using 50mm 1.8 lens.

Hths!

Hi Berriess,

Besides your cooking and photography skills, what stands out most is the food styling! Thumbs up!
