D7: Happy Birthday, Mom!
















Post for February 2. It's after midnight.

Today is my mom's birthday, so we celebrated by making strawberry shortcake. I tried several different shots tonight and finally settled on a close-up of the strawberries. This is another food photography angle that I enjoy. These strawberries tasted as delicious as they look in the photo!

As I said, I tried a number of different shots tonight, but wasn't satisfied that I had made a good picture until I got this one. I suppose it's both a good and bad thing: I continue to shoot because I know I can do better, but I spend much of that time frustrated with myself for taking so long to get a good shot. Guess the good shots will come faster with practice.

Photo Specs. 105mm, 1/125s, f/5.6, ISO 400. All post done in camera during RAW processing: WB correction, slightly increased exposure.

Manual. Page 161: The Playback Menu, continued. Selecting pictures by date.


Images. Checked out food photos from Smitten Kitchen. I need a longer lens.
