Oh the pain and agony to be endured in your household this year as you endlessly prepare, bake, and sample batch after batch. Good luck with it, and hang in there!
Some thoughts on the photography aspect of the project. (You do intend to maintain a photo record don't you?) 1. I've noticed a book "How to Photograph Food", maybe a quick look in the library would give some ideas. 2. I would expect a consistent and attractive color balance would be a big challenge. The first thing I noticed about the image this time was the color; on close look I think it was the color of the countertop fighting with the parchment paper and the crust; a tighter crop which didn't show any countertop might be better. Could you set up a repeatable light-tent of sorts with a couple of flashes or lights? Wouldn't have to be large enough for the whole sheet, just plate the the best (and worst?) from each batch on nice plate(s). Have fun! I would think that your first batch has already shown you to be beyond the apprentice stage to journeyman. stan On Dec 28, 2011, at 11:47 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: > No go there!
