Please click the image for a larger version. As expected, it was a challenge to shoot in a harshly lit kitchen with lots of things going on. I chose close-crops for these so you just get the good snippets. If you're in the area (well, even if you're not in the area), do stop by!
As a side note, I just discovered how to best use Smart Sharpen in Photoshop for my web-sized images, and I'm kinda floored by the difference it makes. All along, I kept looking at the sharp images on other blogs and I'd scratch my head wondering why mine didn't have that certain extra crisp look. I kept thinking my camera or lens was the culprit! Now I know...
I like the close crop. Can almost smell the dishes
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, Alice!
