Photo Friday, Week 3: Macro

This week's theme for Photo Friday Project is Macro.  Thanks once again to Trina for hosting!  To join the linkup, please visit the Week 3 post on Trina's blog.  As I said last week, I’m personally trying to take better food pictures to go with my other blog.  For the macro theme, I really wanted to play with focus a bit to see if I could get part of my picture in focus and the rest slightly less focused. I think I accomplished that well with my photo.

The picture is of the top of a batch of English Toffee and features melted Hershey bars and chopped walnuts.  To me it looks delicious and I can only hope shows a more artistic approach than I’ve done previously with candy pictures.
I hope you join in and link up with Trina and the rest of the group.  Have a great weekend!!

Photo Friday, Week 2: Breakfast

I think I've decided to try making my Photo Friday Project about foods and drinks.  I have another blog where I share recipes over at Rocka's Recipes.  I would really like to improve my photography skills so I can post more photos with the recipes. 


This week's theme for Photo Friday Project is Breakfast.  Thanks once again to Trina for hosting!  To join the linkup, please visit the Week 2 post on Trina's blog.

The other day I had breakfast for lunch and it was quite yummy.  It's a strawberry granola pizza from Eggo and I definitely want to try recreating this at home.

Photo Friday Week 1: Cold

One of my blog and Twitter friends, Trina, was part of the group doing 52 New Things last year.  As you can tell, I wasn't very good with keeping up with it.  I'm determined this year to try a different project and stick to it.  Trina started Photo Friday Projectwhere each Friday, you post a picture you took during the week to go with the corresponding theme.  I love the idea because I've been wanting to take better photographs and because it will help me stay focused on a project all year long.  This week's linkup can be found with the Week 1 post on Tina's blog.

I've had an incredibly chaotic week and didn't have my camera with me when I had great photo opportunities for this week's theme - Cold.  However, this morning I heated up a piece of apple pie and had an ice cold glass of milk for breakfast.  Bad for the diet, but great for the photo.

The picture was taken with my point and shoot - Kodak Easyshare CD82.  Hopefully a new job will help me land a much better camera.
