It is a good job we all have flumps in the house.....:D:D:D:D

Given we are all drinking hot chocolate... the photographs are clearly fab.

That's why I love photography. It's so subjective. Everyone sees an image differently.

Yeah, bet the left handed people have no issue with the bottom image

This was was shot was taken on my conservatory floor, trying to avoid the furniture in there getting in the frame, my reflection, holding a huge hand held reflector and me being nearly upside down hanging off the edge of the seat, feet half way up the wall. Then when Bub decided to stick his nose in I called it a day :rotfl: Most of photography is problem solving :cool:

At least with food photography you're not sitting in the cold 'waiting for the light'!!

This is really interesting:) I think food photography involves a lot of "cheating":)
I prefer the top photo. The spoon handle bothers me in the bottom one. If you need to use a spoon it needs to be longer and sideways on so you see the angle of it.

I like the colours and the sharp focus of the cup:)

We had a tutor last year who's wife was food photographer, you wouldn't believe some of the things they use :eek::eek:

Points noted about the spoon, :beer:

Oh, I don't know, I find this rather stressful as i'm in control of everything. Sitting, freezing your !!!! off waiting for mother nature to do her thing is much more relaxing

And still not as stressful as wedding photography. Most stressful day of my life was taking the wedding photos for my best mate...who is also a photographer, and better than me! No pressure!

I had an early appointment to give blood this morning

I just asked MG what I needed to do to help out with dinner and he said "go and lie down" I don't need to be told twice :rotfl:

I will have to give blood more often if it means I get told to rest up and get a full roast beef dinner cooked for me :rotfl:

Well done, MG.:T:T
