So what am I doing photographing them when my mom hasn't visited since last year? Well, these meringues are playing a part in an upcoming presentation I'll be doing at BlogHer Food 2011 in Atlanta on May 20 & 21st. I'll be speaking with Alice Currah from Savory Sweet Life about "Simple and Affordable Tools, Techniques and Accessories to Improve Your Food Photography." Those of you that read this blog know that my food photography is mostly a labor of love, and that everything I do in terms of photography is simple and affordable. For that reason, I think this session will be worthwhile for new bloggers, beginning photographers, and even experienced bloggers who want to improve their photography (or just see how us gals do it.)
Back to the meringues. You see the four different (unretouched) versions? They are all decent right? But they all look a little different... I happen to think one is better than the others, but they are all acceptable nonetheless for the purposes of a food blog. So how did I get to these four different photographs of the same meringues? And the million dollar question is, which two were photographed at night using artificial light that cost $15 or less? You'll find out on May 21st at 2:45. See you in Hotlanta! (Ooops, did I just call it "Hotlanta"? Sorry about that.)
If you look at my grilled cheese photo from last week, taken at 10 pm under really bad artificial light, you'll see why I need to be in the front row at your panel. EXCITED!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Your pictures and prose are so elegant.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Looking at your blog makes a peaceful little part of my days. Thanks Sarah! Keep it up!
You're such a tease!!!! I'm dying to know which were shot in artificial light.
ReplyDeleteREALLY wish I was going to BHF - I would absolutely benefit from sitting on the panel.
Good luck w/ the presentation!!

Have a great time in Atlanta! Wish I could be there to see your presentation, I know you'll be great. I'll be in San Fran with David, who by the way, says to say hello to you and Anson. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI say 2 and 4 are natural light and 1 and 3 are artificial. Just a guess..
ReplyDeleteLovely meringues and pictures!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
