Anyways, this is a food post. You know, in case the title didn't give it away. On New Year's Eve my family and I went for lunch with some extended family at Normandie Farm. Me, having received my new lens several day before couldn't resist taking pictures of the food. The food, while I don't remember all the names of the dishes, were all delicious.
Food photography is still something new to me, but I definitely enjoy it. (I have tried it before, but with the 18-55mm, it just doesn't have the same effect as it does with the 50mm.) It involves food and photography! What's not to like? Plus, I've recently discovered/delved into The Pioneer Woman | Ree Drummond. Her recipes seem very real and down to earth (she's not afraid to use butter and fry things), but the biggest thing that struck me about her--she takes all her own pictures.
Her pictures are clear and crisp and help better illustrate and as well as instruct with her recipes. (Although I can't say I've personally tried one of her recipes yet.)
Pairing my new lens and recent discovery of The Pioneer Woman only wants me too keep photographing food. And of course, eating it. (Who wouldn't want to eat? Eating food is fun. Happy people always enjoy eating. Enjoy eating, not overindulge in eating. There is a difference. But I digress.)
So, without me constantly still babbling, here's my first real stab at food photography. Being brand new to this lens and still adjusting to it's quirks there's still a lot to work on, but everyone has to start somewhere. :)
Oh, and there's some non-food pictures also thrown in for good measure.
(All are unedited, original images taken in a mix of natural/artificial light by moi. Enjoy!)
