A Raspberry Eclair

I didn’t even know this was a thing.

For Mother’s Day this year, my new local bakery did a Raspberry Eclair as a special treat and I was lucky enough to get one. I brought it home and popped it in the fridge because I had a bunch of other things to do, but managed to do this shoot after lunch (although I didn’t eat it until after dinner).

I always struggle with which photos to leave out when I do a shoot like this. Some stats for you:

• This shoot took from 2:41pm til 2:46pm (then I took the shot below about 10 minutes later)
• I took 31 photos in total
• I kept 21 of those photos
• It was delicious 😋

It really was delicious – the tartness of the raspberries, the slightly sweet raspberry cream, and the biscuity eclair pastry – so, so good.

So technically this was a RegularRandom shoot, since it was inside 5 minutes.

Would you like to join the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how:

Version 1:

• choose a subject or a scene
• spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
• try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
• have fun!
• tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

Version 2:

• choose an object
• spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
• put the object in different locations to see how the background or surroundings can change the way the object looks
• have fun!
• tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

Looking forward to seeing your shots.
