Another newbie learning to take food photos

[blueskye168]

blueskies: yeah, will be glad to have any form of 'guidance'.... so all can learn.... but if you have harsh words, can PM me also lar..

Hahahaa.....:nono:worry bro, to me, "harsh" word/s is a No-Point if the person is not willing/keen to have this 'Upgrade-of-skill/knowledge' in the mind set then however hard a/the "Harsh" word/s used also only 'A-Waste-of-Effort'...!!! At the same time, to me, if a person with a 'Positive-mind' and 'Genuinely-Keen'-Interest...even without much 'hard/strong' word/s used, still he/she will be able to pick up more if not faster than a person that needs random &/or very frequent scolding...understand, you see that, bro...!!

Thanks for the 'harsh words' haha.. Will keep in mind your advice ... For the wanton mee, well, I agree with the composition and sharpness and colour issues, will try my best. However, just wanted to clarify also that the well- textures noodles was my subject for Feifei, cuz I don't think the wanton and charsiew is anything to rave about. Maybe I could have captioned it for a clearer understanding of what i wanted to show.

Your advice is greatly appreciated

Just a suggestion, maybe next time you can take a photo of the whole wonton noodle to go along with this.

Just my 2 cents
Cheer

hmm...well, you're most welcome bro...

My philosophy in guiding/grooming a newbie is 1st his/her ATTITUDE-towards-Learning/Progressing, 2ndly is he/she must be able to 'THINK(of-the-how-to)-and-NOT-Just-Wait-for-the SPOON-to-FEED-Directly' = if I discovered that he/she just refused to 'Genuinely-to-give-a-Thought' I'll just terminate the 'Take-in' and 3rdly is something to do with 'Clicking-well-Together' which I strongly believed the 'effect' will be more fruitful in most, if not any, future undertaking!!


Btw, you may refer to my Page-20 at post#384 and Page-18 at post#347 in my 'Abracts and Still Life', can apply these 'technique' to your 'Wanton-Mee'-shot so as to have 2-diff-point-in-focus, can bro?? For any further enquiry we'll go by PM hor ok!!

This is my favorite fishball noodles :heart:
Nice food you got there, metranquility. Do watch out the focusing point, some seems off (like the carrot cake & yong tofu).
Keep sharing

Smoked Salmon Avo-Bayon @ TCC @ Changi Airport Terminal 3 Arrival Hall #01-22
TCC is really one of those cafes I rate as 'reliable'. It may not be top class atas food, but the food almost never disappoints. Nice brekkie !

Rose's Laksa Pasta @ Cedele @ B1-37 Ngee Ann City
Have always liked this fusion pasta from Cedele...thick curry with laksa paste and chicken cubes gave this pasta a savoury, spicy and slightly sour taste... pasta was al dente, and sprinkled with lots of shallots on top.. V Good, but sometimes, the curry can get a little overpowering..

Cheese Fondue @ Swiss Culture @ #03-006 Suntec City Mall
This place is famous for its slightly sour, pungent, but ultimately rich and tasty cheese fondue ... the experience is a little of a normal distribution curve... not used to it at first, gets better as it grows on you, then a little gelat towards the end... but overall still really good !

 

[blueskye168]

Seems like you've improved quite fair bit:thumbsup:, but at the same time, you'd repeated some of your mistake...why leh bro...?!?!:bsmilie:

Well, not too bad overall...take your time to 'reach' there will do, unless you intend to be a phpgr within 'asap time-frame'...!!!
