I am a
light stalker. When all you have to work with is a p & s camera, you need the patience of an owl and the prowess of a cheetah. It's frustrating and exhilarating. As I meander from room to room; chasing light with an armful of foam boards, cutting boards, napkins and cutlery, my napping cat regards me with one open eye...'
Just another day in the life of a crazy food blogger.'
My kitchen is dark + cosy (I feel like a hobbit). Its gorgeous wood table is also dark, and moody. Oh, how I long to take pictures on that table. Most photos are taken in rooms that are as far away from the kitchen as possible. (Which is why I don't make soufflés.)
I confess, there are times when I want to do is just bake, eat, and share (sometimes, share) and not even bother with the photos. But I do enjoy food photography & I'm experimenting a bit with my very-limited camera functions. If they appear schizophrenic for the next few posts, I apologize. It's not you, it's me. I want to give my camera the confidence and swag of an SLR.
If that doesn't work, I'm Lo-Fi filtering everything. All the time.
