I am doing a countdown to Christmas using The Twelve Days of Christmas song! :D Of course, these posts will end on Christmas Eve, since Christmas Eve is the last day until Christmas.
So, I will say the part of the song for the day, and then share some Christmas-y random things. :)
Today I'm going to share pictures of our Christmas baking for this year! I did a guest post on my sister's blog with the recipes- click here to see it.
Just to share with you the joys of food photography. ;D
I got a lot of practice with indoor photography with all these food pictures. :) I took a few of them at night, too. So I edited some of these, the ones that needed it.
Flash helped me on some too. It sometimes doesn't make a picture look bad, but good. ;)
This is one that I love! =D Something about a crisp, clear picture...
I had my little brother pretend he was taking a cookie. He's a pretty good actor, huh? I don't think he actually even took one, either. ;)
When I took pictures of this pancake, I only got one with the whipped cream on it, and then my camera's battery went dead. :P The one I got wasn't too great, so I edited it. These are some things that I used to make some of these pictures look better (using picmonkey): more contrast, lighten, more clarity, and on that cross-process thing, do a little bit of blue. I probably did all of those on this pancake picture. ;P
Another delectable picture! I mean, the food is delicious, but I'm talking about the picture itself too. ;P LOVE that natural light. I took it by the window, and so the wreath in the background gives it a Christmas feel. :)
OK, you probably got bored with ALL the Christmas food pictures, but that's what we have today. ;) Now I have to think of what to do for the rest of the eleven days until Christmas! :)
I hope you enjoyed this, and now want to check out the guest post I did and make some of these yummy things! ;)
DO YOU HAVE ALL THE WORDS TO THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SONG MEMORIZED? (p.s. I don't :P)
Ooh! I love that you're gonna be doing this! I look forward to the rest of the posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd these pictures are amazing!
I do have all the words to the song memorized! I don't exactly go around singing it, but I do know that I could... I think. ;P now you got me wondering. lol! I'm PRETTY SURE I could! ;D
I'm glad you like the idea! :D
DeleteThank you! For some reason good food pictures just make me happy... :P
Cool! I'm not sure if I've ever memorized it all... but I possibly may have last year. But if I did, I don't know it all anymore. ;P :)
