Tunnocks.

Practicing focus & DOF today as it's my weakest fault in taking pictures.

We love these Tunnocks marshmallows in our house!
So do we, good choice of subject, I like the shadows.

I hope you have eaten the evidence? Fun shot, nice shallow dof. Another way to do it is all in a line diagonally, like this.... http://365project.org/seanoneill/365/2012-01-27

@happypat Nothing wrong with your shot at all Pat, I was taught to shoot like this as an exercise in focus and dof, you line them up and using a large f/stop like somewhere around f5, or a macro at about f/13, take turns on focusing on each object to see how the dof and focus works. Glad to help.

Ha ha love it! They're an institution! I love the angle on this.

@seanoneill Thank you so much Sean I will try that!

Great input from Sean. I find this hard too

I guess for me the question is...what do I want in focus? Then I adjust the aperture...larger aperture (smaller number) gives me a much narrower dof. I ' m not sure in this shot what you are after

Well done. I love the ease of my point and shoot, but it would be fun to be able to produce something like this. Just how big are these Tunnocks? They look mammoth!

Never heard of them, but they do sound good. When it comes to photos like this, I have difficulty achieving total focus.

Good for you for working to improve your photography. One of these days I'll make the time to do the same. In the meantime, pass those marshmallows!
@seanoneill Good tips. Will keep in mind for when I decide to work a little harder and actually learn something.

Lovely! One of Scotland's iconic foods; I have seen these in paintings and as cushions.
