*Got the idea from POTN, and figured it would be an easy way to have a competition since these are all for fun anyway*

dSLR Weekly Photo Challenge #1 - Something Tasty
04.09.10-04.16.10

One challenge per week, on the following schedule:

Since this is the first thread, I will decide the winner of the first week. Whoever wins this week will decide topic and winner of next week. And so on..

GO!

 

Obviously, I will not judge my own submission, but here is an example to get everyone started out..



Camera: Canon 40D
Lens: 70-200
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 70 mm
ISO Speed: 800

 

I'm actually shooting food tonight for some assignments at school. I'll post one up later tonight or tomorrow.

 

Here is one I just shot a couple hours ago, shooting some other stuff later this evening...



Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: 50mm 1.4
Exposure: 1/200 @ F/16
Lighting: 2 Hensel heads with a Portty Kit
1 Hensel Monoblock
1 Softbox
2 reflectors

 

And another one. More to come tomorrow... Anybody gonna join in????

 

Thanks for playin along Rob, lol. Guess not as many people are interested in photo contests as it seemed from the previous thread. Or maybe my idea just sucked

 

I'm not on here much anymore (mostly on POTN too) but I'll play sometime in the next few days. It just feels like my350 has died down quite a bit in the last 6 months which is probably why you don't see many people joining in. I know Alvin shot a bar/grill about a month ago and those pics came out awesome.

 

Not my pics but for just doing photography as a hobby he takes some amazing shots ... my buddy is doing a 365 project ... A picture or 2 a day and my car is on the list for one of the days!!!! Link to his Flickr

Camera D700

 

Nice shot.!

 

T2i w/ 28-135mm

 

I stuck with the alcohol concept...

 

Camera: Canon 40D
Lens: 50mm 1.8
Exposure: 1/80
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 50 mm

 

Thanks bro! Here's my favorite from that shoot. It's a compilation for their website:

 

Some great looking shots! Maybe if we just extended this contest a bit, say until next Friday 04.23.10? That will give some more people time to see this thread. Then I will check them all out and decide on a winner, at which point they will start the next contest.

 

some lobster rolls i made. straight from the camera.

 

^photo is lacking, but that roll looks amazing! just need some cheese

 

Definitely, makes me hungry everytime I read this thread

Davidc81, have you tried adjusting your white-balance levels? I like the composition and bokeh in the shot.

Edit: just to give you an idea..

 

WB was off but too lazy to edit.

i did prepare the lobster roll and it was delicious.

 

Good to hear

 

WORD.
