(FULL VIEW ALWAYS TO SEE THEM)

this is the first image in another food series inspired by Play With Your Food.
i cook and am really entranced by photographing food b/c of all the colors, textures, shapes you get to play with - and it seems to invoke lots of human natural reaction whether its inciting taste from your visual or just making you view your next grocery store trip a bit more creatively

these beauties are gords - and you'll see in this series the many fantastic shapes i saw when choosing them from my farmer's market! i could have put eyes on these guys but in this particular image - i really liked how they looked "clean" like this - invoking the emotion from their shape. their nest is sesame linguini and spinach fettucine pasta.

technically this image helps me understand why learning my technical manually is imperative. i would like to have had more control over where it blurs and loses focus to avoid any PS work to sharpen - i did have to sharpen the top of the male Swan. just a bit but it it did help me see how i am learning and inspiring me to keep on doing so. my next shoots i'll be using manual functions to learn this control. overall i am pleased with these images.

past images in my gallery where i also played with food in this vein:

the Cloves go on vacation [link]
Jazz Night at the Cube [link]
Outside the Ladies Room at the Cube [link]

and lots of other abstract food images or playing with chocolate, ice cream, pasta, etc.

Extremely, I would say. But it takes a brillant mind to make it work. You're awesome. Is photography what you do for a living?

devilicious In reply to Misaniovent [2005-08-24 03:22:53 +0000 UTC]

actually i'd never seen any like that - so when i saw them i was like "umm - do you see waht i'm seeing" when i'd hold them up to my husband - and once i saw the swans in them - then i knew i had this great green dining room to photo them and then yeah - i thought of the nest immediately

devilicious In reply to Misaniovent [2005-08-24 03:31:06 +0000 UTC]

i did! i kept it in my kitchen until it mildewed finally but it started this trend i have now of making things out of food like this. i have my son's first birthday coming up in October and I'm already thinking of what to use to make a jungle scene

Misaniovent In reply to devilicious [2005-08-24 03:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Ah, cool.

You should have a cooking show; I'm sure you'd be excellent at presentation.
