Day 23 of 365: Serriform

Today I played around with some knives and a flashgun. I ended up using a breadknife because of the serration of the blade.

Day 18 of 365: Boneless Chicken Dinner

Day 18 and I had a few ideas- I played around with a couple of things, but didn't get them quite right, but they'll come for another day. Ended up with this shot of an egg on a dinner plate.

Ideally I'd want to get the check of the tablecloth more uniform.

Day 14 of 365: Tea's Made

I love a nice brew. I like my tea strong, with a splash of milk and a little sugar.

I've heard stories about people who dry out their tea bags and use them again but I'm a firm believer that you should use all of the flavour in the first brew.

This photograph is inspired by stories of those people who choose to desecrate the beauty of this wonderful leaf.

Strobist:
1 x 580 EX II @ 1/64 power fired at white background angled slightly to give a graduation to the background.
1 x 580 EX II @ 1/128 power, snooted toward tea bag for detail.

Post production:
Slight adjustment to WB, brightness and contrast. Addition of text (although I think it might be better without).

Day 11 of 365: Olde Tyme

I played around with shooting some product shots today- I'm not that happy with this photo- I'd like it to be a lot cleaner.

My last two days efforts have been pretty disappointing- I really need to up my game if I'm going to see the project through.

Day 10 of 365: Green Flash

Short on time, this was definitely a rush job today- ended up just having a play with a flashgun and some homemade barndoors. Something I've been wanting to try out and certainly something that is going to drive onwards from here. Watch this space.
