Thanks for saying hello on my blog. ...Hello Alaina! Thanks for saying hello on my blog. Welcome to the blog world! :-)<br /><br />And wow, you made real dumplings by hand. That's just super badass. I just had some Spaghetti-O's you put me to shame! lol.<br /><br />p.s. There's nothing to do about lighting except to use a good camera, or to shoot in natural light. Lighting is just one of those things that are not easy to correct! :-(sophiahttp://burpandslurp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006275081713240149.post-10982952301041596992011-10-03T23:28:44.850-04:002011-10-03T23:28:44.850-04:00thanks for stopping by my blog!

My husband actually asked for it again so I better get to making it tomorrow. <br /><br />Another wonderful online photo editing tool I use a LOT is picnik.com it is so easy and can even make collages too. <br /><br />Good luck with the blog!

Lots of times when I'm not sure how to take a picture of a finished product, I'll head over to foodgawker or tastespotting for some inspiration. I just type what I've made in the search bar and see how everyone else is photographing it. Often that will give me the inspiration I need. Good luck and welcome to the world of blogging!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164652926032406962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006275081713240149.post-43829938077606421432011-10-03T20:24:39.342-04:002011-10-03T20:24:39.342-04:00Hi Alaina,
Thanks for visiting my blog and for yo...Hi Alaina, <br />Thanks for visiting my blog and for your nice comment :-). You are doing really well for a beginner cook, especially with a cold. I hope you get well better! <br />Regarding food photography, I think daylight is the key. I myself have a very small kitchen with no daylight, so my photos are far from what I'd like them to be. I find Picasa photo editing program pretty good - it's free and simple to use and has basic functionality, like cropping, adjusting lighting and contrast, etc (and when you're really lazy, try the I'm feeling lucky button). <br />Goodluck with the blog, I'll stop by to check how things are going around your kitchen :-)Cooking Rookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920230986620892610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006275081713240149.post-87151113542220978292011-10-02T22:07:31.787-04:002011-10-02T22:07:31.787-04:00Holy!

You did a wonderful job and should be very proud of yourself. Hoping it helps you get over your cold quickly. By the way, welcome to blogging!<br /><br />P.S. About your question on food photography and editing...you may want to contact another blogger (about your age) who is a fantastic photographer. Her name is Audry and her blog is playswithfood27.wordpress.com She may be able to give you some advice about food photography.Two Minute Takeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590884505960931744noreply@blogger.com
