Big Surprise Subject for THIS challenge, Huh?! Here goes: 1. Subject must be the food item itself--not the utensils, tools, etc. 2. Food must be prepared and ready to be eaten--no raw produce, unless the subject is eaten raw (No, shooting it in RAW format doesn't count...). 3. No pre-packaged products. 4. That said, breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, tea-time, midnight snack--any food--any time. 5. Points will be given for originality of subject (one wo/man's rare ahi tuna is another's raw fish), originality of title (I'm a closet punster/poet), and general Mouth-Watering-ness. The Lensbaby has an amazing ability to make just about any subject, no matter how apparently mundane, extraordinary. I can see even a bowl of Lucky Charms being transformed into something beautiful (though I still don't recommend eating it!). Show Us Your Images Of Yumminess!!! (and most of all Have Fun) Photo Submissions: 1. Camera - Any Camera (with LB attached) 2.

Tough choices...but here goes...

First Place--Mark Wade with Salsa Fresca. Love the "recipe" format. The mix of whole ingredients with the finished salsa is a wonderful touch (I love knowing where my food is coming from). Also love the way the sweet-spot plays across he bowl and the salsa and the light is lovely.

Second Place--kmac with "the artful tart" a wonderful still-life.

Third Place--Halima67 with "Cheese please!". Great abstract quality and, what can I say...I'm a fromage-FREAK.

yesmellow--Love that bokeh in the background!
maryemccabe--that focus is perfect and who can turn down chocolate chips? (is it ok if I ate them for dessert instead of breakfast?

Thanks for playing in the kitchen with me!

Your next Mark.]]> Crabcakes General Discussion Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:08:18 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,107181,108105#msg-108105 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,107181,108105#msg-108105
