Photo 365: Day 137 – Got Tempeh?
Tempeh? – it’s fermented soybean.
Last week I had a chance to meet one of my former colleague on my train ride home back from work. He happens to be a vegan and we were talking about Tofu and ended up him mentioning tempeh. It happens to be high in protein, fiber, and vitamins. So we bought a couple of packs of 3-grain tempeh from Trader Joe’s during our grocery shopping on Saturday.
It has a nutty, chewy texture and we tried it with stir fried vegetables this evening. It was delicious and will definitely be part of our diet moving forward.
So this evening, I tried shooting this (I’m always challenged with food photography). I was able to capture the details but I think I failed in plating this – lots of white space. Will have to keep trying with food photography in the days to come 🙂
You just made me hungry. I’m going to go eat now! 🙂
I think it looks great! I think it’s a bit brighter than it needs to be (the rice in the lower right is blown out a bit and the gloss on the food is a little to bright), but you did a fine job on this one. You can always crop in a little closer to cut out some of that white, but I don’t think it’s necessary with this. Nice work!
Oh – in answer to your question on my blog – I used an Adobe Camera Raw preset from Coffeeshop to do the conversion on the church photo. It is linked on my blog on the words “mocha latte.”
I agree with Elli. It is a little too bright, and maybe crop a little tighter. It’s always better to crop than not have enough. Otherwise, it looks delicious.
That looks SO DELICIOUS. Great details!
It looks delicious.
And the picture is great.
Maybe as said before, the right side is a bit “empty”
what kind of light did you use for that?
what WATT does it has?
Vampie – I don’t typically use additional lighting besides natural lighting (at least not yet). So had this plated and lit using window lighting.
It looks delicious!
love tempeh, looks delicious. the glossy brocoli looks especially good
