To me, it could just as easily be a dog lol. Guess that's also why I like the one in my 52 thread more.

This is very nice, but I'd like to see it with the eye not so quite in the center--perhaps slightly lower than where it is right now. Still, a super nice image! :) Can't wait to see what you bring to the table this year, Mai. ;)

From a week ago or so - puppy love on a very windy day.

First one is the only one where I liked the colors.

Did I show you this ever? I can't remember. Its from last year, another windy day. Think it will be placed on my wall, once I decide if it should be in a black or a wooden frame (that can take a while! ;)).

And then I've been trying something with food.

This is natural light and defiantly miss some items to break the empty space in the right side. But it was rotated and cropped after taking it, the original really didn't work.

So trying again today, this is with artificial light. Not quite right, but don't know whats the problem yet (except to high iso).

And earlier today. Proof that I should never do cake photography. I took some shots............ and then I ate the cake lol. Didn't even look if the shots were actually okay :rolleyes: The cake looks to massive/lumpy/not elegant enough imo, but did try several angles and well. Now its not here anymore.

The first food shot I actually really like. I like the simple uncluttered look.

And your dog shots look great as always. Love the first one. The colors really pop.

I really like where you're going with the food shots. Great idea. The lighting is very close and I love the color palate choices. I might have "borrow" your idea sometime. 😊

I forgot to answer - I agree very much but this is an uncropped version (I have a hard time remembering to add space around), so closer crop will for me make it look even less like a horse. But I'll be going there again and already learned some stuff I think :)

Thank you sonicbuffalo :)


Moving on to an apple, really tough to do. I don't know how to do with the glare that comes, and if I google, I only get millions of pages about Mac lol.

Not the most appetizing color but still working mostly with light and angles.

An apple a day....😁

Nice shots. I like the first even with some glare. And really like the B&W.

Would a CP filter work on the glare?

Lovely apple shots but thats no less than i expect from you :D if the subject is suitable have you tried the matt spray that they use on photographs.

I found some reading, and seems like you want to keep the glare. As thats really what an apple should look like. I seem to have removed exif info on those images but as I remember, it was around f/3.5, which is probably why the glare are out of focus and therefore harder to work with in pp??

Never heard of that! :-D Makeup for apples...? I am trying to get my way around flash now, that would defiantly help with food photography, and finally figured out how to create more soft shadows. YAY!

True. I don't mind the glare. The waxy look of apples always has a glare to it. A flat red or green apple would have looked pretty odd. Glad you seem to be ok with it!

I really LOVE this shot! Great job! I did one quite similar a few years back. The eyes just are so full of depth and expression!

Thank you, Tami Jo :) Horses are defiantly something else than dogs. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the size of this 4-legged lady lol. But she seemed very clever, and friendly, and I actually think she liked having her pictures taken!
