Gllen and I have decided to delve into the magical world of food photography. Not wanting to immediately invest in a fancy digital camera, we dusted off my old 35mm to start practicing. Without the instant gratification of digital display, our experiments and their outcome have been a complete mystery, up until now. I finally dropped off the film at Walgreens a few weekends ago. (I can only giggle at the idea of the photo lab workers puzzling about who the hell takes ten pictures in a row of cooked chicken?) We knew at the start that lighting would be crucial - the best lighting being the natural sunlight in our kitchen. Unfortunately, we don't ever cook in the morning. Thus, our best picture happens to be our very first test subject... a pathetic McDonald's breakfast sandwich.
Without a Road Trip?!
ReplyDeleteThe sunlight DOES make the grease on the hashbrowns glisten in a rather inviting way...
YA
i see no grease, only delicious.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, by the time we were done snapping pictures, it had gotten a little cold and needed to be reheated in the toaster oven. Still delicous.
