I have a colleague whose wife makes glorious cakes, really stunningly decorated cakes. He photographs them for her, for their website. He asked me to take a look at his shots and to go through some editing tips in Lightroom. We met over breakfast before work one day while I was in Sydney and we…

Not Really Appropriate for Dinner
While at the conference last week, I had hoped to be able to get out into the grounds with my camera but it was so busy that it wasn’t possible. However, one day, they served teeny tiny cupcakes for morning tea and I just happened to have my camera in my backpack 😀 The downlights…

Strawberries and Cream Cake (TeaTime#11)

Photo101Weekend3: Hone Your Eye?
I’m not sure I’ve really addressed the brief today, but I wanted to try my hand at photographing food with a little more panache than usual. I’d like to have a go at styling and setting up a food “scene” sometime soon, but today I concentrated on the food itself, the composition and cropping to…

Sydney Food : Conrad Piggins.
Conrad Piggins is close to our head office in Warriewood. On Wednesday nights, they do a Chef’s Night Out. I’ve done something similar in Queenstown, New Zealand – it was called Trust the Chef and it was great. The Conrad Piggins experience was slightly different – it was basically a set menu for $45 and…

Sydney Food : The Cubbyhouse Lounge Bar.
Located at The Spot in Randwick, this a lovely little cafe with some great modern food. We were walk-ins, but my two companions had been there before. Here’s the menu: The venue is nice, cosy but with plenty of room. Lovely chandeliers: The Duck Tarts were absolutely delicious – flaky bottoms, juicy duck and full…
