May Photo Assignment - Food!

[Barrie]

May is here and our assignment for this month is food. Prepare to get hungry!

[amymouse]

Oooh, ooooh! I'm in!

It took me way too many shots to catch the "Year of a Million Dreams" powdering at the top of the plate. I think my server may have been a little too amused watching me catch the berries as they rolled off the plate every time I tipped it up to take a pic. :D

Great picture Ames but I was so sure you were going to post a picture of Milanos.

We MAY have suspected it. ;)

Oh, man, Barrie.....This one is going to be VERY popular, I'll bet. I didn't get to post anything for spring because NOTHING has happened here. No leaves, flowers, anything. I did see some bushes sprouting today. We're SO far behind!!

OK--Here's some of my posts for FOOD!

Me, too! Buffalo Wings appetizers with some Bass Ale.

Nice composition and lighting on the cake, Tom!

[Photographer]

Tina, are those Twinkies in the Kitchen Sink? Blech! TM Lisa

I must have a photo of carrots around here somewhere.

[tdelaney]

No, they're not twinkies. It's angel food cake and there's a ton of brownies in there too. Blech is right: People go on and on about how good that thing is, but I don't think I could eat one....Ick.

Food!

No, no, no...that's MILK! (and nice bit of photo editing, too!)

[Photographer]

Oh look, it's the Scopa Special.

[Timon]

No, no, no...that's MILK! (and nice bit of photo editing, too!)
Now Scott it's also cheese and ice cream so it qualifies as food.

[dizneeat]

Yeah, food!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just my kind of subject, LOL!!!

All this Disney food is making me hungry AND making me want to go to WDW! Don't forget to get your camera out and practice taking some new food photos this month.

Here are a couple web pages with tips for taking good food photos:

Thanks for the great links Barrie!! :girlears: I'm heading to the World very soon and anxious to try my hand at this month's assignment.

ETA--and I guess I'm not really serious about food photography because I could NEVER see me using motor oil in place of a sauce, nor would I ever spray deodorant or hairspray on food!!! I can only photograph what I can later eat!!!

My husband loves seafood but since we are a landlocked state he goes a little overboard anytime we are on the East Coast. If you are wondering he did eat it all.

[Timon]

I've got to put these together.

Nutritious?

I don't know.

Delicious?

Absolutely!

[tdelaney]

Wow, Barrie. That's really interesting (those articles). Kinda gross, but that's how it always looks so good!

There's no reason not to combine Disney with food.

I thought these denim placemats were a cute idea:

(Although they look grubby, they had been washed. It's tough to remove curry stains!)

[WDWNJ]

Hey Scott - Fathers Day is coming.... Looks like Dad could use some longer tongs for grilling. :lol:


PS - enjoying all the pictures folks! I was too busy eating. No time to take pictures.

[DizzneeMomma]

Last minute again!! Notice the empty restaurants!! We really lucked out with low crowds on our trip. :girlears:
