(And a little of the garden too!)
I have some food blogs that I visit regularly for both the inspiring recipes and also the amazing photography. There is nothing more likely to get me away from the computer and into the kitchen than close-ups of food. I love cooking but have never attempted this style of photography. These bloggers kitchens look so clean and well outfitted while my kitchen is over 20 years old, in a colour that I have never liked and with areas that can never be scrubbed perfectly clean. How can you take photos with pans, chopping boards and dishes all over the place? To find a clear space to set up for a photo seems near impossible. Anyway I am going to try.....
Last night I made a start and took a photo of the seafood that I was about to cook. Mm I definitely need a lot of practice. But it was dark and I needed to use a flash. That is my excuse anyway. The food did taste great.
Euphorbias in the garden. So easy to grow. Just pluck a leaf and within a month you have a new plant.
Well camouflaged grasshopper.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
PS To those who have asked over the last couple of weeks what camera I use, the answer is it varies. My usual DSLR is a Nikon D300 with a zoom lens attached. But I also use a small point and shoot. The photos from the city in my previous post were taken with a small Sony Cybershot.

Neat photos! I like that grasshopper!
That grasshopper shot is great! We have Euphorbias here too, but we call them Hen with chicks.
Thank you for answer about your lens :)
I'd love to see more food photos :) I'm trying to make mine, but my kitchen isn't clean and lovely during cooking and after cooking there are two boys, who immediately take their food and eat in a horrible way - tomorrow I'll try to make a shot of them after eating spinach, today they looked just too funny, both so green :)
Love that succulent and wow, the grasshopper shot is good. The seafood really needs a more colorful background. So if you notice there is a bit of orange/salmon pink in the seafood. It would look great with a bit of a blue/green wash for the background. You could achieve that with a tray or plate of some kind or if you use photoshop, than layering in a blue/green overlay.
The shapes and textures of the euphorbia are really eyecatching. That is a lot of seafood and we would love to have such a variety here.
