Penny's Low Fat Desserts Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie...another winner! Not such a winner in the "photo" dept, but that doesn't change the fact that it was soft, chocolate-y, big and full of chocolate & peanut butter chips! Oh yea...only 150 calories and 3g of fat to boot! :D

Archer Farms (Target) Honey Apple Spice 7 Grain Granola BarsI love that Target is attempting to copy Kashi here (actually, I don't love it)...but at least do them justice. This bar tasted like apple cinnamon GUM with stale grains mixed in. It was disgustingly chewy....blah!
Oroweat Dutch Country Smooth Texture 100% Whole Wheat BreadOverall, I strongly disliked it because it tasted like a cheap $.79 loaf of white bread. It was smooth, but in a bad way. It tasted like it was full of preservatives...I guess it's a good alternative to white bread, but the GOOD stops there...
I have consulted come very nice foodie bloggers on cameras and the such (Thank YOU and YOU...check out their yummilicious food photography!). They both had some great advice and suggestions for new cameras. However, the consensus was to...

you are right about the natural lighting- never thought about it before- I'll have to try it more often now :)
ReplyDeleteNatural lighting makes such a difference! I play around a lot, and usually take SEVERAL pics!
ReplyDeleteLove the yogurt combo you made. Yes, macro no flash is what I do and my sister who has been doing this for years told me to do this. Also, on occasion in low lighting it is tough and I will switch to my iPhone.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies rock my world.. I have never had one but after checking out the website I can only imagine they taste like heaven and they are pretty much guilt-free to! Love the natural lighting!
ReplyDeletebeautiful grapes!! but tis true, natural light in a dorm room is not easy!!
ReplyDeletei really want some penny's low fat desserts now. where did you find them???
&&thank you thank you for the honest reviews, very good to know
Sorry you didn't like the bread, I'm actually surprised! It looks good.
ReplyDeleteAs for taking pictures, natural lighting is my best friend. It really makes such a difference, it's crazy! I mean, those grapes look so delicious, and they are just grapes! The lighting makes all the difference (Although I really do LOVE grapes!)
the pics look great! glad you got some good advice. i know my pics could use a ton of work! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with an earlier commenter - the macro setting (the little flower) on my canon is key to good pictures. Of course tonight's photos definitely had some strange shadows, but in general I'm happy with my pictures. I also agree - no flash.
