I had a similar thing last week in T. I offered a lady a 50p ATM coupon for cheese spread as she was putting the exact same product in her trolley. She listened and thanked me. I walked on but looked back as I got to the end of the aisle. She put it back on the shelf and picked the dearer brand right next to it.

You get strange looks if you suggest a better/cheaper option in store - even when you point out they have just picked up only one item and it is bogof!

I mentioned to someone buying a lint remover in Asda the other day that they had them in Poundland, the reply was "I don't go to that sort of place"!!

I use the snipping tool and save to desktop.
go to desktop click on image
top right hand side of screen 3 small dots click on them
open with (I use) windows photo viewer
click on print
click on 'fit picture' (in tick)
scroll and click image far right (to how many images per sheet)
go to far left-copies of each picture- scroll on the number up/down
enter
click print
hey presto

im using IE windows 10

(snipping tool is found on your little window icon far bottom left of computer. click and it should be on the menu)

I do similar but paste into Word. I can never work out how large they should be? Is there an easy way to tell?

Thanks

Hot chocolate anyone?





Thoughts please? Food photography is harder than it looks, i'm going to do a reshoot, only this time work cold so that the marshmallow don't lose form so quickly and that the chocolate doesn't melt. But the handle, does it matter that it's missing in one image? Do you want a bigger depth of field i.e. seeing more of the image sharp ? Would it look out of place in say the tesco mag recipe section? Sorry for so many questions but you do get hot chocolate :D

Hi Westie

I've only done a bit of food photography and there is a lot of trial and error!

They look good. Personally I like the portrait image better but would perhaps pull the mug in closer and turn the handle into view. This would give you less 'dead' space to the bottom left.

Edit: or crop the bottom of the shot to take out some of the black.
