In Wales,
Fabulous shot with the mirrored stylus in the sky.


The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

I'd been reading Equus, which has (among other things) "abstracts" of horses, disturbingly like the "abstracts" of women's bodies you see in posters aimed at the arty teenage market. I've never understood the "abstract" term. They look like details to me, close enough that you only see part of the subject. I presume this is due to my deficient artistic education.

Ah yes, the ever sensuous curves of a horse's back.

Chutney

It's hard to make a red (cranberry and apple) chutney not look completely disgusting in a photo. I think this works.

I'm glad you've told us what it is.

It still needs context then?

Not as successful as I hoped then. Though you should see it adjusted otherwise. Scary even when you know what it is.

Food photography is hard. The professionals use flat wide light, narrow depth of field, and they literally pay other professionals to come in and sculpt the food before they shoot it.

A magazine shot would probably have some bread or something else to add context. A tub of stuff on its own doesn't hold enough information to parse the contents without extra hints.

And it's easy to make food shots look disgusting without trying.

No. Since we refuse to be bound by your patriarchal gender stereotyping, Sam isn't allowed cook. That would be my job. For political and ideological reasons, not for fear of the consequences. Honest.

Recipe was from one of Nigella Lawson's books, but sort of played by ear - I had more cranberries and less apple than suggested so the sugar needed tweaking rather a lot. Cinnamon, ginger and clove spicing.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
