A New Lens


I received my camera last year as a present. I have had so much fun taking photos. About two weeks ago I bought a new lens. (Nikon 50 mm 1.8)   It was an early birthday present. I wasn't expecting to buy it on the day.  Thanks family!!!  I have recently started a facebook page and I I have liked several pages. (As I do) There are so many talented people out there. One page I liked was Helene Dujardin Photography.  I discovered that she had publised a book called Plate to Pixel. I really liked her style of Food Photography and excitedly purchased her book online. I was expecting to receive it mid June. It actually arrived at the beginning of this week. I couldn't wait to start reading. One of the things that she emphasizes  is to practice, practice, practice.  Well I don't have any trouble doing that!!  However I do have to have the nice food to practice on. Hubby made Lasagne Sunday, so I set about practising. What I do best!   I had no idea that I would have such a liking for food photography. I only realised that I like capturing food when I first received my camera and I was trying to look for things to practice on.  One thing about food , is that it is a willing particapant. I then discovered the What Katie Ate (I have linked her Facebook page)  and her amazing photograpy.  So here I am trying to learn the art of food photography. Trying to make the food look scrumptious.  I know I have a long way to go , but the journey is fun.

Thanks for  getting this far.

Ps.  The Lasagne was really yummy.  Hubby always makes a yummy Lasagne

      Thanks, Carol.

      Yes, I have always had a passion for photography and crave learning. At least with food , it doesn't say "Why are you taking another photo"?

    A new lens...how exciting! Your photos look wonderful, Kelly. I love food photography too. Then only bad thing is that I'm always making things to photograph and then I have to eat them too :)

    Kelly, Hi, we are waiting for more fabulous pictures! Save the date cards have become pretty common place her in the US for weddings, especially when you know a lot of people will be coming from out of town and making plane reservations. It is so fun to see how different countries celebrate special occasions. Hang with me and I will take you through the whole wedding process.

      Thanks Carol, I haven't been updating my blog of late. I haven't been spending most of my time on Facebook. I definitely want to see the wedding process.

      Thanks
