June: The Month of Food Photography

I take a lot of pictures that often don't get posted here, and are instead posted on Instagram, which is usually what I post at the end of the month. This month however, I'm going to share with you some of the photos I've been taking of food I've eaten this past month and have neglected to share anywhere. This is a very exclusive set, not seen anywhere else!

Until after the cake was gone after my mom's birthday a little over a week ago it seemed like we weren't in short supply of treats around here. (Which is probably why I'm abstaining from now.) My dad surprised us with these gorgeous chocolate cups filled with mousse near the beginning of the month and I just had to photograph them. Then there was national doughnut day after that. I'd like to say I've been evening out all the sweets I've been eating with fruits, but that would just be a lie. (However I have been photographing them as well!)

Most of these photos can now be found in my Flickr Album: Food Photography

As soon as I got my first camera with "macro" capabilities, I have been obsessed with capturing the up close and small world and capturing the little details. I was so happy to find out that my phone camera on the Galaxy SIII also was able to do macro too because of that. All of these were taken and edited on my phone! Some day I'd like to do a post about my favorite free editors that I use. These days I use Photoshop only when I need a heavy duty job done. Most of the time I just add a filter and whatever else needs tweaking on my phone. Simple as that!

I've been meaning to share more of my pictures but sometimes I feel more like keeping them to myself. Partly because once when I first started my instagram someone took my button picture and didn't give me credit. I'm sure there's no stopping anyone from taking any picture they want even if I think it's not the greatest picture ever, but the thought still worries me.

Along with all these food photographs I've been taking, I have a whole bunch more of flowers in macro that I haven't shared either. 

If you're a photographer, what is your favorite thing to photograph?
Do you have a favorite editing program?
