Food foto friday – and Pinterest!

Welcome back to Food Foto Friday! (ack – I need to change that button!)

It’s been an interesting week – I got shingles of all things…who gets that???

I did get one thing done that I wanted to – I made a Food Photography board on pinterest to provide inspiration, ideas and even a recipe or two! I think I may create another one at some point where people can add their own photos.

This week I am using another older photo – I was doing some food styling/photography for a POTENTIAL job/project, and didn’t get to take any for fun. This is an apple pie my HUSBAND made last year while helping out a family friend at their restaurant. It was sitting in the garden window and the light was hitting it just right…I grabbed a favorite vintage apron (pics of those coming soon too!!) and crumpled it up a bit.

I used Pioneer Woman’s actions for editing – I want to say it was  ”seventies” I used, but I’m not 100% sure. Then I rounded the edges (thinking back though, I maybe would have done something fun to make it look more vintage…those little coner things you use to put pictures in a photo album?).

Now it’s your turn! Add your link to the inlinkz doodad down there, and I would love to see you comment on how you processed your image, or if you have any questions about editing your photos…



Attention food photography lovers!!

I am SO excited to start a new FUN project on Domestic Chicky -

Starting Friday, I will be hosting Food Foto Friday, a picture sharing carnival for, you guessed it, food photography!

cake, recipe, food+foto

In case you don’t know what a blog carnival is, here is the short explanation: You post about the topic on your own blog – whether it’s recipes, pictures, whatever. Then you go to the hub of the carnival – in this case this blog – and leave your url and name. Visit other people participating, so everyone gets a little traffic and attention – you never know, you may find your next FAVORITE blog as you go looking around.

I’m hoping it will be a resource for tips, ideas, recipes and more…you don’t have to post a recipe – all we want are your gorgeous pictures! Eventually we will have themes periodically, and giveaways as well!

Come back here Thursday night/Friday morning and post your links! See you then!
