out comes the camera and I make him wait....
It started when our DSLR popped it's flash and Him Indoors decided to make an investment in a new version. Here you are mum - you have the broken one.
Then I joined Blipfoto and started a journal. I was good to start with - but without a working flash it's difficult in the winter.
It developed into a work obsession. I work on the fantastic Fish is the Dish project where we are trying to encourage more families to eat more fish by showing them how easy it is. With a small budget it was a case of do it yourself.....
I think I've improved hugely. This is tonight's dinner - smoked haddock and leek risotto. Easily cooked and thanks to a flash investment, looking quite good.
Other shots have been less successful but it's a learning process isn't it.
Last night we had pork stir fry in noodle broth - tasted ok but would have been better if we had used dashi stock and the photograph is decidedly mediocre.
I thought the colours would lift it but it is just a bit too boring.
The plates have become important. I am sounding even more sad than I did before but I invested in one black plate.
Food and fish in particular seems to benefit from strong colour around it and I am really enjoying playing with it. I thought the peas really seemed to burst out of the plate here and I am particularly happy with the cakes from the weekend.....
I am hopeful that I can continue to improve my photography skills, and if not at least I'll eat well !!
