Snickerdoodle Cupcakes Before & After

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes Before & After

Photo Title: Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

Blog Name: My Baking Addiction

Equipment UsedCanon Rebel XSi, 50 mm 1.4 lens, Sunpak 6200DX Tripod, Photoshop Elements

Technical Details:

Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec
F-Stop f/5.6
Aperture: f/5.7
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 50.0 mm
Flash: Did Not Fire

Photo Editing: Photo was edited in Photoshop Elements by adjusting the levels,  brightness and contrast.

Setup Details: This photo was taken in my kitchen next to my South facing patio door. The items were placed on my kitchen table. A piece of light blue cardboard was propped up in the background.

Props: In this shot I stacked three square white plates and a pale green napkin from World Market. The cupcake liners are from Bake It Pretty.

Additional Tips: Know what time of day is best to shoot. I found myself lugging tables, props and food all around my house to get the best light until I started paying close attention to the best times for optimal light. If it’s too late to shoot my photos using natural light, I will typically keep the item in fridge until the light allows me to shoot. Sometimes I pull out my Lowell Ego Lights if I am shooting my dinner or something that cannot be saved in the refrigerator.

Gorgeous. It’s also amazing how much a tiny bit of cropping will do!
