This month’s photo topic was “Vegetables” and the photo was taken by photographer Jim Semple.
Not a usual subject for photography but is used widely by companies to promote and sell food products of all descriptions.
Food photography is a genre of photography that focuses on capturing beautiful, mouth-watering images of food. Whether it’s for a cookbook, a restaurant menu, or a food blog, food photography is an important tool for showcasing delicious dishes and inspiring people to try new foods.
The first ever photograph of food is attributed to Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot who captured a still life photo containing baskets of fruit as early as 1845.
Jim used a 70D Canon and the settings were 1/110 sec –F5 and ISO 3200.
Jim’s wife gets the credit for adding the sunflowers in the photo.
