(FULL VIEW ALWAYS TO SEE THEM)

this is the first image in another food series inspired by Play With Your Food.

i cook and am really entranced by photographing food b/c of all the colors, textures, shapes you get to play with - and it seems to invoke lots of human natural reaction whether its inciting taste from your visual or just making you view your next grocery store trip a bit more creatively

these beauties are gords - and you'll see in this series the many fantastic shapes i saw when choosing them from my farmer's market! i could have put eyes on these guys but in this particular image - i really liked how they looked "clean" like this - invoking the emotion from their shape.

their nest is sesame linguini and spinach fettucine pasta.

technically this image helps me understand why learning my technical manually is imperative. i would like to have had more control over where it blurs and loses focus to avoid any PS work to sharpen - i did have to sharpen the top of the male Swan.

just a bit but it it did help me see how i am learning and inspiring me to keep on doing so. my next shoots i'll be using manual functions to learn this control. overall i am pleased with these images.

past images in my gallery where i also played with food in this vein:

the Cloves go on vacation [link]
Jazz Night at the Cube [link]
Outside the Ladies Room at the Cube [link]

and lots of other abstract food images or playing with chocolate, ice cream, pasta, etc.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-08-23

Given, sesame linguini and spinach fettucine pasta with gourds would make a delicious dinner for two. Now let's take this a few steps further and look at playing hard to get by `devilicious. A lovely scene of two swans spending a romantic afternoon in their comfy nest under the warm sun. The female seems to be a very shy swan, but the day is still young. A creative arrangment of food we don't see everyday.
