Bear Naked Granola, Custom Blend

November 8, 2016 by Barb 1 Comment

Hello! We’re starting this day off right with some yummy fresh “Coco Nutty” granola from Bear Naked Granola. I caught hubby eating it as a snack the other night, and I’m like NO, stop! that’s for photos my dear!! ha! I was horrified, he was perplexed.

I have to admit I could’t help nibbling a bit as I styled this image ;)

It was fun to visit this lovely site (a little bit of humour goes a long way for me) and I’m thrilled to have been able to create my own custom blend full of oats, coconut, cashew butter, chocolate and walnuts. It’s completely delicious!

Same photo, flipped! So amazing how different it looks (or is it just me?)

Truly delish!

It’s what’s for breakfast at #thestudioonline2016 @kimklassen

Disclosure: Bear Naked Granola generously offered to provide me with my own custom granola for this post, but all photos and opinions are my own, and I am truly very impressed with the quality and service from Bear Naked Granola. I wouldn’t say so if I wasn’t!!

Good morning! Just popping in to share a couple images from my “Food Photography Meets Still Life Photography” post at Kim Klassen dot com.

If you want to know how I set the scene and processed the images, pop over to Kim’s site and have a peek.

If you want the recipe check it out here (total yumminess)!

The Studio: Veggies

January 30, 2015 by Barb 13 Comments

Our assignment at the moment in the Studio|Online is to shoot fruit or veggies.

It just so happens I’m surrounded by both (gotta love that)!

On Thursday, we went downtown to the little farmers market and I found some freshly picked treasures. Those little white ones in the upper left corner are turnips! Yes, they are … I tasted them. I love how they’re the same size as the “Easter Egg” radishes, and the tiny beetroots.

I edited the photos in LR and then ran the kk_dreamlike preset, adjusting to bring back details in the whites … altho some still look a bit blown out. However, I still like the effect.

So … get a load of the great cutting board with the old knife! … my newest prop finds, costing me less than $4.00 total. I’m going to have to take them home with me when we leave Sunny Arizona …

… oh yeah … what happened to Sunny Arizona? … full on rain for 24 hours now … I do love rain and can appreciate all the good it brings, but … I need some heat!! … please?

(I’m not even going to mention there’s a snowfall warning in effect where I come from … oops I just did.)
