Default Assignment: "Food Photography"

This week's assignment is Food Photography - make our mouth's water!
Check this out on the blog if you need help.

This is example is from Sime:

you tart..., originally uploaded by gtvone.



A review of the rules might be helpful:

1. The image you submit should be taken between the July 9 (when it was announced) and July 23 (up until one of the moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. EXIF data needs to be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

3. Your post must include "Assignment: Food" to show your permission to count it for the contest.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

Next week: ""Ten Minutes From Home" (walk, bike, drive 10 min. from where you live. Shoot.)"

I'm looking forward to see the contributions in this assignment. Yummy! I guess I will get very hungry by looking at these, so I should write down my own weight and watch out for any increase

Make your mouth water, hmmmm.


Sauted vegetables for topping over pasta. Looks dropped in a campfire but it's chopped dried basil. The onions smell delicious.
