Grape Fizz

Another bash at the lemonade trick LOL. Here is the result of a couple of juicy red grapes that have been dropped into a glass of lemonade.

Another image i'm afraid taken last weekend. Just haven't been feeling too good and couldn't be bothered to be honest. I finally got to physiotherapy on Thursday and they gave me some exercises to do. I hope this fixes my back pain as it's really getting me down now. Sorry for moaning everyone. Hopefully next week will be better :-)

Left on the shelf

Poor Pineapple left on the shelf because no-one wanted it all bruised. I know it's not the best of specimens, but I couldn't resist buying it for 20p in the supermarket (they were selling it off). Not to worry, It's only for practicing with LOL)

Oh and it would've been Mum's Birthday today. Happy Birthday Mum, I know you are always with me, maybe not in body but always in spirit!

Pomegranate seeds

This image shows a few pomegranate seeds. They look like bright shiny rubies, little jewels don't you think.

Cherry

Sorry everyone this has to be quick tonight. I've been having trouble logging back in to Flickr tonight after doing a good turn for a friend at my local camera club. I had to log out of my acccount to help her and now I cannot get back in. Never mind it'll hopefully be ok tomorrow, if or when, they send me a new password. Fingers crossed.

This photo has been taken very quickly. Not the greatest I must admit, but I promised I would place a photo every day and don't want to break that promise if I can help it. The cherry was placed in a small glass of lemonade. The top bubble reminds me of a droplet of molten silver.

Food photography

Taking good photos of food is not as easy as it looks - lighting, composition, angles etc are all potential problem areas. Close-up shots are less forgiving to movement than pictures at a distance. It is harder to get a good focus, so I used a tripod but if you don't have one at hand try using a stack of books for stability.

Also trying my hand at a Lemonade experiment. Saw someone else do this and it looked great. Think I need a bit more practice. It's not as easy as it looks. Wish they would tell me their secret but you know how some people hate sharing their knowledge ........ Only kidding I know this person would share if I asked.
