  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I recently picked up a Pentax Option S5i 5MP camera and have been playing around with it.

I've worked out how to change the settngs and the exposure etc, so have taken some macro shots if you would like to look at them. I'll post the links because i cant post images yet :o :(

I used to like food too, but after these pictures I think I'm changing my mind ;)


I don't know if that was the impression you were going for, but the pictures of the meat & rice carry some clout. The blue background and slight blue cast to the rice, for example, makes it look even less appetizing. I think this could be even stronger, but it's a judgement call. Maybe you could add some bacon fat and put it in the fridge for a bit to get it to congeal?

Was there something in particular you were trying to say by your choice of food, perspective and colour?


As an addendum: if you actually like these foods and didn't intend to get the effect you did, next time don't use the macro lens, use a warmer colour (red, yellow, orange), add some more textures and a softer light, and maybe add in something healthy-looking in the background (bread, fruit, glass of wine, something). I assume that your pictures were intentional which is why I reacted the way I did, but just in case I was wrong...
