Valentine's Starter: Broccoli with Pine-nut Breadcrumbs and Fresh Mozzarella
For Valentine's Day this year, Anne and I again made a nice dinner for ourselves. This is the starter: blanched broccoli tossed in a vinaigrette, served on top of fresh mozzarella with pine-nut breadcrumbs. The dish is supposed to use burrata, but we couldn't find any in Cambridge.
I did a different style of photo than I normally do for this shot, showing a full place setting. I think it worked reasonably well, although this is a style that I need to practice more.
Strobist info: 430EX through SB-III from front right @ 1/32; LP120 bounced off ceiling at 1/4 for fill. I wanted less directional light here, so the fill is fairly high.
