Weekend assignment August 4, 2006: Ice cream!
// August 4th, 2006
Well, it’s our first weekend in August and it is hot! It’s like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot. So I thought it would be fun to have a weekend assignment that would not only be fun, it’ll help keep you cool, too. This weekend, we’re going to shoot food. Specifically, ice cream. There are a lot of ways you can approach this subject. One way is as a still life. Most food photography you find in magazines or on restaurant menus falls in this category. Check out Still Life With… for a great source of inspiration. Another approach is to photograph people enjoying food. These types of photos typically have a more candid feel (if not actually candid) and are full of life.

Ice cream. 1/60s @ f/7.1
However you decide to approach it, have fun with it and please share your results with the rest of us in the Photodoto discussion group.
