(Hello there! this post gets a good amount of hits from people searching for "photography in Kingsport, TN". If you are wanting to see an example of my work capturing the joy in people, please just hit the home button. This post is for a special creative project of photographing food. Thanks!)
I met Laurie Vengoechea through the 10 on 10 project that I do. She's on my circle. We are on the Bloom forum together, but I was fairly new when the 10 started up. With tons of new faces and names, I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. It wasn't until the 10 on 10 progressed that I got to know Laurie. We quickly discovered we have a lot in common: Jesus, Photography, Food, and cooking. Very unfortunately we do not have location in common, since she lives in beautiful California and I live in Tennessee. Hooray for technology.
When Laurie posted on the Bloom forum about a food photography challenge group for the new year, I jumped. Soooooo very much up my alley!!! But I hesitated. I was nervous to commit to ANOTHER project. But this project is so me. How could I pass it up? Eventually I officially caved and I'm part. I'm sure it will become challening to fit all of this in as the year moves on, but I will be giving it a good go! I'm joining a large group of photographers for this challenge and we'll be doing a circle for this project, just like my 10 on 10, but on the 20th of each month, so make sure you head over and check out their interpretation of this month's theme, too!
January's theme was Fruit on a White Background. No Props. Just the simplicity of the fruit.
I was scared silly of the prompt. I didn't know how on earth I was going to do this! But the other ladies got me started, and I must say, I enjoyed this SO much. Food photography and food styling is so very, very, very much harder than it looks!!! But it has been very rewarding to see these images that I never imagined that I would take! I shot tomatoes (technically they are a fruit!), kiwi, cantaloupes, strawberries, and my featured raspberries. I bought red grapes, green grapes. navel oranges, and apples as well, but never got around to shooting those.
Without further ado, here are raspberries.
Next in our group is the lovely Kay Pickens Columbia MO photographer. I've e-known Kay online for a few years now and I am so thrilled that she's joined in our group.
The next post shows my second place photos for this fruit on white challenge So check out my rejects!
P.S. I've always hated raspberries. I love almost every food, but I really don't care for raspberries. Or so I thought. I tried these when Shawn so lovingly pointed out, in front of the kids, how good it was to eat things we didn't like because they were good for us. And I liked it! I really, really liked it!
I shot these with my
D90
Sigma 30mm f1.4
