I tried all week to get a nice photo of a sunset over a bean or corn field, but EVERY EVENING clouds came over the horizon and blocked it. So I took a half crappy pic set tonight and was going to be miserable entering it, but decided to make myself a snack while uploading the set. Digging around the cupboard I found something everybody loves - sprinkles!!!

Cake batter!
My youngest and I made a "tie dye" cake. It came out awesome. Tons of color manipulation fun for kids. And adults. ![]() This was right before baking. 3 dye colors (red, yellow, blue) combine for 6 batter colors. They are just about as bright after baking. Fat bands of each color in the sliced cake. A lot of small bowls though (6 for each layer, 12 altogether).

As usual, all great entries! As much as I wanted to choose the meat bus, I have to say that Reef Bass' picture is mesmerizing, and stood out most to me, so that's my choice.
The funny thing was that I originally thought it was just tie dye bowls - I had no idea that was batter in there. I think we all deserve a slice now...

When my kids were little I'd make a custom cake for bdays. One year the request was for a butterfly cake. You wouldn't believe how many butterflies it takes to make a cake! ![]() So where is the 'after' pic? ![]()

Ever think your dog eats better than you do?
![]() Shot a series of these recently for Kroger's new dog food packaging. This was a salmon and sweet potato variety. ![]() Here's a setup shot of a simple orange photo. ![]() ![]()

Dog food?! That looks like Reef Bass food to me. Did I miss an invite in the mail? d2Mini, now that's a food shot! I think it's neat how you got it to suspend in mid air like that over an all white background.

As far as an after pic, imagine a macro of a plate with lots of Technicolor crumbs and frosting smudges. It was surprisingly tasty. My youngest's cousins wanted to pretty much body paint themselves with it. ![]() This is going to ruin my reputation as a grouchy old curmudgeon, but this week's theme is "love". The image should invoke feelings of love in the viewer.

d2mini, thanks for the setup shot. I like how with two light sources you basically have 4, reflecting the primary sources onto the sides and back of the subject, creating very even lighting overall and enhancing the edges. Your choice to fill the darker side with a warmer orangey light rather than a brighter whiter light works for me. And it looks like your trusty spray bottle saw some action too.
How long do your prepared shots stay "fresh"? Do you need to touch them up frequently? While it's probably not a huge issue with an orange, I'd imagine that eventually more delicate edible subjects, like a lettuce leaf, might dehydrate and wrinkle, fold or flop inappropriately or in a visually undesirable manner? How long is your working window?

Yeah, I'll do some basic styling, and I'm not a full time photog, i just do it when needed at our graphic design agency, but a GOOD food stylist is worth their weight in GOLD and they are far and few between. There is all kinds of crazy things they do. A few of my favorite are stuffing ravioli with mashed potato, using play-doh instead of real ice cream, lightly browning a steak in a pan and then putting grill marks on with a blow torch... lots of cool stuff!
And here's some shots I just did using the elmers glue trick for cereal like mentioned above. ![]() ![]()
