one of the old timers in the office is retiring after 36 years and she was given a warm and delicious send-off. there were 2 large cakes, a delicious carrot cake (shown in background left) and a to-die-for chocolate cake (not shown), plus tarts and cupcakes for the afternoon.
the prompt that landed on today's date is "food scene". canon explains "Food photography is more than simply photographing a dish – it’s also about its setting, its maker, and the overall presentation. Use this challenge to tell a greater story in your food image. If you are at home you can create a kitchen scene with stacks of plates, ingredients in colorful bowls, and the finished plated dish in the foreground of the scene." i took a slice of the carrot cake and hope to have a closer shot of it later.
not the best thought out shot because i was in a hurry to take photos as i had some urgent tasks to finish and i was using my stupid iPhone. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
I think you succeeded marvelously. The focus is clearly on the food in the foreground, but the people in the background and the number of plates stacked up give us a sense of the occasion. You get an idea of the setting from the windows etc — clearly a large space.
I wish to register my strenuous opposition to the concept of carrot cake. Carrots are yummy. Cream cheese is yummy. But they do not belong together in a cake. It’s just wrong!😂
Nice pic though!
