Sometimes I think I’m not getting better at this.

But every now and then I come across an older photo, compare it to a new one, and realize that yes, I am making progress.

Don’t know what you’re talking about. They both look great to me…and oh, I’m so hungry right about now!

may I suggest a post?……
show those side by side photos and tell us what it is that you do now that you didn’t do then, what you learned, what differant equipment etc.

I too, could eat a beef sandwich for breakfast right now.

I think for this one, the different is that I took more care with how I presented the food (on a plate, with the jus), put the food in better light (on the floor next to the kitchen sliding glass door), and used a white plate, which helps to make the whole scene lighter.

My equipment was exactly the same (Rebel body with a 50mm 1.4 lens)…I just had learned more by the time I took the second photo.

I can just taste them! Is there anything you can’t do? I’ll answer that. You are the perfect Mom, wife, daughter, person and sister!

Oh yes, there are plenty of things I can’t do! To name a few, I’m not good at being spontaneous, I’m terrible at drawing and painting, I’m not good at playing music by ear, and I’m not good at making things up, whether it’s recipes or craft projects.
