Photo Editing: I edited the photo in CS4 by adjusting the levels levels and the brightness and contrast. I also used a sharpening action.

Props: White fabric and cheese cloth
Additional Tips: I am really trying to learn to shoot against a white background. I find this to be much more difficult than a dark background. My tips to working a white background is practice, practice, practice…at least that is what I intend to do!

Well, your practice is certainly paying off – that looks great! I need to practice using a higher f stop I get too carried away with the bokeh and miss the point of having the subject clear, esp. with food. Thanks for sharing.

GREAT job with the white background, I too find that the hardest to shoot!

Your mallows certainly look delicious and I think this is a great example of shooting on white.

You are so good! The first photo is really good, but the “after” definitely has that pop to it.
