Foodie Photography

Foodie photography is almost important as the recipes on a food blog. I've always loved photography although I've never had any training. The freedom allowed by digital technology lets me experiment . I normally just try to make the images pleasing to me. However since I have been posting here I've been working on making my images of food as appetizing as the food itself.

Sometimes I catch images through serendipity. While I was taking a series of images from a moving car because the sky looked amazing one August morning as we drove along Route 60 between Versailles and Frankfort......


I managed to snap the header picture which I love because of the color and sky and the perfect-by-accident positioning of the tree beside of the barn.

And sometimes  it's the colors, form, and the interplay of light and shadow  that  catch my eye....




































I'll post the recipes for the last three soon--I promise*smile*

The tomato pictures and the potato salad pictures are making me swoon, and not just because they look yummy. Nice shots!

Finn: Oh thank you! There is this spot in my kitchen where the evening light comes in just so. I love taking photos in that light--all three of those photos were taken in that spot.

Sybil: Mine too!
