Yvonne Duivenvoorden

Another inspiration post. I really like to keep up with what's going on in the food photo world, especially in Toronto. Stumbled onto this photographers site by accident and was really impressed and amazed at the talent here. Such wonderful images and I love the bright look, but yet it's not overly high key as we see a lot of today.

Such great work... WOW! Take a look: Yvonne Duivenvoorden

PS, Yvonne if you are ever to read this.. I'm a really good assistant!! Will work for noms :D

A Rookie Error

I decided that I would make a little test day for some sandwich shots. I got all my food prepared - set up ready to go - lighting was great. Started shooting and playing around with shooting and was pretty happy with the results. Load things up on Light Room and started to edit...when I noticed how grainy my shots were. Hmmm...odd.

The I checked my settings to see why and then it hit me... ISO 800..... !!! DUH. I forgot to change my settings back from the night before when I was out shooting night images of the beach.

*FACEPALM*

Lesson of the day ...CHECK YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE YOU START SHOOTING! :D

Lucky Valentines

Starting to roll out the Valentines Day images for 2012!

I've been obsessing over Korea lately by addicting myself to www.eatyourkimchi.com So I picked up some Pocky or Lucky Sticks from the grocery store. Haven't had a chance to visit Little Korea but hopefully soon!

Holy Crap....

So I was catching up on all my Google Reader items (I forget this exists for at least a week at a time and then have 100 things to read) and came across this blog from another blog hidden in a post and OH EM G...this guy is my new fav food photographer.

His stuff is jaw dropping good. I'm so jealous.

Last night I spent over an hour trying to put together my kitchen island from IKEA. I totally broke down and bought and am now trying to figure out where the heck I'm going to put it. But this site makes me want to hurry up and get shooting again.

Thanks Matt for all the inspirational images. *drool*
