Green Eggshells

From the farmer's market.

I have a thing about eggshells...must crush them before discarding.

That's a beautiful shot. Great light and DOF. You guys must have excellent natural light in your house / kitchen because you and Adam take the greatest food photos. I'm sure they were delicious.

This is so funny, because about twelve hours before you said that I was taking another food picture (because the first time I took it the photo didn't come out well), and Adam and I were having a discussion about how hard it is to photograph anything in that kitchen at night. It ruins the color and texture.

That being said, I could not be happier with this picture, just natural light. So thanks!

Exactly! I do all my best cooking at night and then the pictures I take of it are all yellow - even when I set my light source to "incandescent". ;-\ The only mildly successful shots have been of bread where A.) I bake loaves on Sunday and there's still natural light and B.) the bread is yellow already!

Anyway, whatever you are doing to get around the issue is working because, again, this is an excellent shot.

Yes, the yellowing! For the love of God, the yellowing. I almost said that. It's very hard to get a picture of saffron risotto. Also I have a picture of cornbread that I took ages ago that I cannot get to look right to save my life. It's SO yellow.

*shaking fist in air like angry French taxi driver* The yellowing!

An interesting book/movie quote: "...and he writes about a wind, the samoun, which a nation thought was so evil that they declared war on it and marched out against it in full battle dress. Their swords raised." I wish to wage war upon the yellowing, my camera raised.

Yup, I see your issue with the saffron risotto (which, despite the yellow reaper, still looks delicious). I'm quite proud of my cornbread as well, but my pictures of it end up looking like yellowcake freshly removed from the reactor no matter how much time I spend Photoshopping the thing.

Where do you and Adam take your food pics that they turn out like this egg shot? Is it natural light or did you use the flash? (EXIF data is not available for this image) Thanks!
