Dad's cooking

Dad cooked me steak and chips tonight - so I took a photo, while it was still cooking...

I love food, and I love cooking - but somehow, when I photograph food, it never looks as I want it to! This is closer to what I'm going for, actually, although still not 100% there...

Shot on Nikon P80 (on my NEW TRIPOD!!) and edited in Photoshop
Had the same issue! Found that upping the contrast and such, tweaking the levels, in Lightroom, made a big difference

Yeah, this isn't entirely "sooc", actually... I did a little bit of editing in Photoshop - nothing fancy, just a bit more contrast and saturation... Still not quite what I want, but I think it's getting there!

Thanks :)

About five hours ago now... ;)

And yeah - he does... I had a night off work which I wasn't expecting to have, so it was good to be able to eat at home!

Well, that's up to you, of course - but, I'm not sure I'd advise it!
