On the Cutting Board

I've been intrigued by those who take photos of  food...

either while at restaurants or while preparing food in the kitchen.

A few nights ago, cooking dinner in the kitchen,

I made time for a spare minute or two to take some quick snaps.

As I was cutting up the green onions,

I kept the stringy heads from immediately going

into the trash, keeping them on the cutting board.

I took a few photos on the cutting board,

then moved them to a black plate, which didn't take long either.

The lighting is different from the counter-top to being

under the stove's hood light.

I guess what took the longest time to do was to download them!

Reviewing the photos, I choose these two

below 'cause some of the others

were either too blurry or crooked!

I did add some shadows and cropped the photos a little to cut

out the clutter of the kitchen.

(Hey, when there's a meal in progress, there's bound to be a mess)

Above, the initial thought was to take a photo to show the depth of field.

I think the photo could have been better if I had added a little bit more

space between them, stretching the lines out just a bit longer.

I like how this photo shows the

different areas of focus...

The right side of the photo is clear, while the left

is a bit fuzzy and the middle

is a complete blur.
