Adapted from a recipe by Nigella Lawson, featuring chocolate, cream and, bizarrely, marsh mallows. The result, though, is superb — a smooth, indulgent, creamy consistency and surprisingly light. Served in dinky little espresso cups, perfect for photography. Back-lit high-key shot, with natural window light gives a lovely airy feel to the shot and combines really well with a shallow depth of field. Again, from the camera's metering point of view, the shot is over-exposed, as the camera meter really can't cope with this sort of lighting. I set up the camera, on a tripod, connected to a TV as a monitor and compose and focus (manually) the shot using the camera's 'live view' function. This allows me time to tweak the composition, whilst looking at a TV screen, rather than the camera's tiny LCD (it's necessary to set the camera's auto-power off to off or 30 mins or so). Exposure set on manual, I dial in the aperture I want — in this case, for a shallow depth of field, F2.5 (stopped down a little to reduce chromatic aberration (nasty purple highlights) from the cheaper Canon 50mm F1.8). I then set whatever shutter speed is required to bring the exposure up to what looks right, eyeballing it for the most part, I've learnt how the particular TV screen affects what the final shot will look like. In this case, a shutter speed of 1/8 sec was required. You have to be careful on a day with cloud and sun, as the natural light levels are constantly fluctuating. #mm_tips #puddingporn #dessertporn #chocolateporn #chocolate #chocolatepots #nigella #nigellarecipe #chocolates #highkey #foodphotography #pudding #foodstyles_gf #still_life #stilllife #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #niftyfifty #bokeh #dofaddicts
More of a mousse, than a true cheesecake (as there's no cheese in it)! Made with whipped double cream, sweetened condensed milk, leaf gelatine, lemon juice and zest, on a ginger biscuit and butter base. Quick and simple to make and absolutely scrumptious — plus you can serve it in a variety of ways. Works equally well in a 7", loose-bottom cake tin or here, in 2" steel ring moulds, for dinky little mini-puddings. Food photography is always a challenge, as every tiny imperfection is magnified by the camera. Shot with a 50mm lens, and a whopping 1 and 2/3 stops overexposure to get the right brightness. Dabbled with various apertures, settling on F3.5 as having the 'perfect' balance of depth of field to in-focus areas. I really wanted a nice bright and out-of-focus background — the shot was strongly backlit (producing lovely shadows through the sugar-dusting spoon) and front fill was added using a large white reflector. #food #foodphotography #foodporn #lemon #lemoncheesecake #cheesecake #lemonchiffonpie #cream #pudding #puddingporn #dessert #dessert #dessertporn #stilllife #still_life #biscuit #foodart
A good Spring pudding, light zingy and refreshing, the lemon and raspberry offsetting the richness of the cream. Shot in the 'high-key' style, agains a strongly backlit background which lights up the glasses and ties in with the freshness theme. Overexposed by nearly 2 stops, plus a shallow depth of field, to throw the background into lightness and blur. #pudding #dessert #puddingporn #dessertporn #lemonmousse #raspberries #blueberries #highkey #high_key #stilllife #still_life #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #spring #blossom #blackthorn
A little desperately needed touch of spring sunshine on this dark and stormy Autumn day. Torrential rain and gale-force winds are forecast, here in South Oxfordshire, in the UK — plus the clocks have gone back an hour and it's very very dark. Decided to cheer things up with a nice sunny shot with plenty of lemony zingyness! Shot in standard 6x4 for a bit of a different composition. #puddingporn #desertporn #lemonmeringue #lemons #niftyfifty #foodphotography #pudding #foodstyles_gf #foodartstyles_gf #still_life #stilllife #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots_ #uk_potd #icatching #bd #niftyfifty #bokeh #dofaddicts #autumn2013 #ig_captures #bakingporn #baking #greatbritishbakeoff
In the absence of any mushrooms to photograph, and with horrible weather, I decided it was time for a bit of baking — and food photography! A very simple (and delicious) crumble, made with harvested apples and the last of the year's blackberries. Photographed, on a tripod, with a 50mm lens at F2.8 for shallow depth of field; the focus was locked on the back of the crumble. Lit with natural light, from camera left, and a little fill-light from a reflector to camera right. #blackberries #puddingporn #desertporn #applecrumble #apples #niftyfifty #foodphotography #pudding #foodstyles_gf #foodartstyles_gf #still_life #stilllife #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots_ #uk_potd #icatching #bd #niftyfifty #bokeh #dofaddicts #autumn2013 #ig_captures #bakingporn #baking
