We have the same problem with eating the food, I’ve given up with any of our main meals. Cakes are easier, and you can eat them as you go 😋 🙂 15 hours ago, CAROL SAUNDERS said: Given me inspiration also I made blueberry pancakes this afternoon and took a few shots on the RX100 before eating. They were yummy what the images will be like I have no idea😁 Carol My first effort........somewhat wanting on the styling front but it was our dinner so I got five frames off in 56 seconds.! This base was a bit ugly too......as I'm unsystematic my dough often misbehaves......it was sticky and hard to handle this time.

Carol That was just a big softbox to the left and a gold reflector opposite, but white would have done almost as well on this. The softbox is very close- just out of shot- so you get a nice big catchlight on the olives. The marble was a bit hot to the left so I dragged a bit of a grad across in LR. Nothing special in processing. I turned off my usual extra saturation as it made the sauce a bit lurid. Still a little clarity and vibrance though. Practice on something cold and not too tasty looking! Edited January 23, 2021 by spacecadet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mantis shrimps are generally shy, but from time to time I come across one which is kind of crazy. Instead of retreating to their burrow, they'll dash out and run around boulders , peeping over and around to see if this big bubble belching diver is still around. I've even had them come towards me (as this one did) and hide underneath me as I kneel on the bottom trying to get a photo. I sometimes wonder if they see themselves in the glass port of the camera housing and think there is another mantis in their territory. I feel quite guilty about eating them now. (Venice and Shanghai- clang). Not as pretty as that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice on something cold and not too tasty looking! Well that’s better than any pizza shots I’ve attempted. They made we want a pizza, which is the main thing with any food photography. My setup was much the same as yours. In the books I’ve been following they use diffusers in front of their lights or windows. I don’t have a standard diffuser so I hung a cheap, £1.99, opaque Asda shower curtain in front of the softbox, just to soften the light a bit more. They’re rubbish as shower curtains but are a good make shift diffuser. 9 hours ago, Betty LaRue said: Mine were plain pancakes but topped with blueberries. Not taken recently.

It is a pretty big Photoflex softbox from my portrait days, about 60x90 by 50cm. deep, with silver interior panels (they stayed in) and two diffusers. It was under 2 feet from the pan, pretty low down to get some relief. Probably this one https://www.photoflex.com/product/litedome/ medium size, but I'm sure a cheaper Chinese version would do.

Sorry, I think I confused you. I was using a softbox, a large square Bowens one with an inside diffusion panel and outer diffusion panel. The opaque curtain (instead of a separate diffusion panel to the softbox) was hung in front of that. I'm using a Godox 200 pro to illuminate it, its a lot less faff than dragging the studio lights out 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not using any extra diffusion on the light. Minilite 200. Fortunately I can leave one head set up all the time, just put up the reflector and softbox when needed. Put a pic up, if you like, and we can discuss it. Edited January 23, 2021 by spacecadet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thyrsis Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Lud’s Church in Staffordshire, sold for editorial magazine use, low $$. It’s the most atmospheric place, used in the 15th century by the Lollards as a secret meeting place to hold church services. Legend has it that Robin Hood hid out there too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
