Shrimp ‘n dry gravy

/12 Comments/in /by

It’s Sunday and had some spare time for a foodie shot.

I struggled a bit to come up with this composition. Originally tried these piled atop a rice and didn’t like that composition.

Then thought I should build a shrimp tower atop the rice bed..that didn’t work either. So went for this arrangement with the shrimp tower resting on a plate. Used some sliced English Cucumber in this composition to bring in colors and contrast the vertical shrimp tower.

I am  quite pleased with this outcome and yes this was delicious 🙂

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

It’s Sunday and it’s time for a foodie shot 😉

Found a recipe for banana bread and tweaked it slightly to make it into a “fortified” banana bread – replaced about a 1/3 cup of flour with flax meal, wheat germ, and oat bran. The best part – the kids didn’t find it and they seemed to like it.

It took me quite a while to come up with this shot. A bread is a bread and I found it hard to come up with an interesting composition. Then I struggled with using the available lighting for this foodie shot.

Finally thought I should arrange it in such a way to reveal the texture. Then I had this shot with full sunlight to show the texture.

Stir Fry

It’s been a while since I last posted a foodie shot…

It’s not that we aren’t cooking anymore, it just takes quite a bit of time for food shots – from the time it takes to set the table for the food to get everything right. Further I still rely on natural window lighting for my food shots and it has to be done just before the Sun sets. That being said, only weekend seems to be a good time for my food photography.

Had this tofu/veggie stir fry shot using window lighting and used a couple of home made aluminum foil wrapped reflectors to brighten up shaded spots. Used 50mm @f/5.6 prime lens for this foodie shot.
