Photo 365: Day 236 – TDS: Soft light
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph with soft light today. Try to almost totally eliminate shadows on your subject.
I had some vacation time to burn and took couple of days-off from work – hence the early post for my 365 project.
It’s been quite some time now since I last posted a food themed photo shot. Further I cooked yellow curry tofu with home grown hot peppers for lunch. Hence decided to combine TDS: soft light assignment with food theme for todays shoot.
To bring a “soft” effect, used soft-focus filter – I think I bought this filter about 8+ years ago on ebay and have used it few times now in my 365 project. Had this shot with 50mm @f/1.8 using natural window lighting.
O.M.G. I love it.
It could perfectly fit into a magazine as a reclam for food.
It looks also like a dream. Mostly in ilms they present it a bit in the same way.
Beautifuly done! Great soft focus for the challenge plus the food looks simply delicious. Great use of the soft focus filter.
Lovely dreamy shot. Perfectly chosen for such a colourful subject. Very nicely done.
Very nice shot! Love the set up. The only thing I would say is that the tofu squares look too placed. Usually you want to keep food off the rim so you get a more clean look and your eyes doesn’t get so distracted by the floating pieces. 🙂
Thanks for the tip Emily. I purposely let the tofu squares to spread, just to fill the empty white space. But your suggestion/tip makes perfect sense.
Looks great.
Great job Sasi, I think you did a fine job on today’s assignment! I have to say that I love your posts on the food you prepare, always makes me hungry (especially since it’s hard to find good curry around here).

perfect light and use of aperture,,, wonderful
I don’t think soft focus and soft light are the same thing but I like the shot. It has a very pleasant feel to it. Sit says “delicious”.
an unusual way of shooting food. As usual, making me hungry : )
