You can find a list of the most useful sites I found at the right-hand side of this blog under the heading Food Photography Techniques.<BR/><BR/>And then I stared experimenting. <BR/><BR/>The early photos are awful and I was tearing my hair out a lot, wondering how on earth people like Marie Clair get their pictures looking so beautiful.<BR/><BR/>But slowly I am getting to know my cameras better and the technical aspects are starting to sink in... <BR/><BR/>About 20 years ago, I went to Art School in Sydney and studied photography - but that was back in the Dark Ages, before Digital was even thought of. And anyway, I've forgotten almost everything they tried to teach us - we were into 'Art for Art's Sake' back then and I didn't pay much attention to the technical aspects, prefering to leave things up to serendipity... lol<BR/><BR/>Different story now, and it is quite a journey... I also have been bashing around in Photoshop, slowly, slowly getting to understand how to use some of the tools, which has made a difference. And a decent 50mm Macro lens - that's the really beauty!PhotoVenturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475136281430786644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454225558319444982.post-17036188451852221932008-07-15T12:37:00.000+10:002008-07-15T12:37:00.000+10:00Thanks!

Beth has also been making soy milk, using a soy-milk maker and there's always a tub of ground up beany mash left over... what, besides composting, could she to do with it?? Well, she has been leaving it out to gather yeasts from the air and then using that for the sour-dough raising agent - it's working well. Kind of cakey bread, but delicious! <BR/> <BR/>I'm planning on harvesting Beth's expertise on this in coming weeks, so your suggestion to blog further on this topic is even more incentive. Thanks for your beautiful feedback, it's so nice to know you are enjoying the reading as much as I am enjoying the writing/photographing.PhotoVenturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475136281430786644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454225558319444982.post-7374545324365603632008-07-12T10:59:00.000+10:002008-07-12T10:59:00.000+10:00Dear Yum-ohthis recipe looks Wonderful.
