Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Food Photo Challenge (February 2020): Breakfast

February 28, 2020

Welcome everybody to the first linkup of the Food Photo Challenge. This monthly challenge is to work on doing some food photography photos with blogging.

If you are new to seeing this and it’s something that might interest you, the whole aspect is explained in this post. Also, the linkup will stay live for about a week, so if you post in the next couple of days, come on back and link up!

Simply put, though, each month there will be a theme (announced at the end of this post) and on the 28th of each month, come back and link up.

So, on with the show!

I’ve wanted to get better with my food photos. I enjoy it, but I also want to try new things and angles and all that. I always take snaps when out and about, but I want to learn about the editing and everything else. This month, I already learned a lot, which I will explain later. The best part of this is that each theme will be a new way to challenge yourself with food photography.

Further, I’m starting to really push toward using my iPhone for a lot of my photography. I invested in some Moment lenses and, so far, I really love them. For this month’s theme, I used the moment 58 lens, as well as the Moment app on my phone. I have a lot to learn with that app, but so far… love it.

On top of that, I opted to go with a mini light box, which, in the end, was probably good. However, I learned a bit about the light box and the lighting of it, and in the future, hopefully I can utilize this better. The light box is pretty small, so I might have to use a bigger one for this challenge.

For now, though, let’s get on with this month’s post.

Theme: Breakfast

I love breakfast. I mean, truly love it. I have certain things I always get when traveling, but when home, I’m quite consistent on the things I eat.

A lot of that is because of having diabetes and knowing what things do to me etc. I’ve had to cut back on a lot of things I love for breakfast, though I do still indulge in things on occasion. 

Still, a plate with eggs or something along those lines didn’t work for me with this one. Instead, I wanted to do cereal. Espcially being I had some fruit loops around.

Now, I don’t eat a lot of cereal anymore. With the carbs and the milk and everything else, it tends to be too much for me in the morning and my blood sugars go up a bit too high. 

But colors!

Looking back, I kind of wish I had used a different background color, or a different color bowl. The colors here are just a bit too powerful. But I do like the overall look and feel of this photo. 

And yes, for the record, I did eat this when done … 

That’s my submission for the month and I am looking forward to seeing who else is taking part in this challenge and what they have to offer!

If you took part in the challenge, please make sure to link up below. Also, make sure you visit everybody else’s posts (and do come back to see who may have linked up after you!)! 

Let’s, too, try and grow this challenge. Tell others and invite them. And, as always, one can check out the Facebook group for this challenge and others as well. You can access the group here. 

The linkup is below, but how about March?

The theme for March is: Lunch. Come back on March 28 to link up!

    I love breakfast and we sometimes have it for dinner. When our boys were growing up they would love it when I told them we were having breakfast for dinner or Brinner as they liked to say.
    Great color but I agree, a different color bowl or background would have been better.
    I have a light box but rarely if ever use it. I need to break it out again.
    Where did you get the lens? It fits your phone?? I purchased one a few years ago but it didn’t work for spit.

How could we skip this? North of the border this How could we skip this? 

North of the border this weekend to get away and hit a few caching events and geocache. Dinner tonight was at @harpersburgers, especially with outdoor seating and dog friendly! @harper_dublin got to enjoy a little of my #burger, of course. And, yes, I got poutine, duh! Great service and great food! Went back later for a spiked shake. This one was a Malibu Colada (malibu rum, dark rum, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice) … yum! 

Good times! Looking forward to another event and caches on Saturday before heading home!

Part one of the backyard work is done. New patio h Part one of the backyard work is done. New patio has been installed ... (the rock garden area is basically done, too ... but i need to put a few things up with it). The guy who did my patio did a great job... looks cool. 

I think Harper approves. 

One more step and we'll be set to really enjoy it back there with some shade!

Working on a few other landscaping things, too.

As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walk As a @sunydelhi alum, and local, I still love walking around the campus. It’s especially nice in the morning when college isn’t in session as it’s quiet and @harper_dublin can sniff and explore her surroundings (if in session, she will want to stop and meet every student etc.). I know a lot of people local walk the campus, and it’s really nice that we have something like this in our community to be able to do so.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
