aerial photo experiments

I've been reading a lot about photography and cameras lately (especially since the "accident"). In food photography one technique is the aerial shot when there isn't a lot of height to your subject (don't quote me on that, I'm not a professional! Google it!)

My meals today were the guinea pigs for testing the theory out:

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with skim milk and banana slices.

Broccoli and Carrot Stir Fry with Spicy Asian Tofu (marinated in soy sauce, cranberry/apple jelly, chili flakes, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil). On the side- a tomato, avocado and walnut salad.

Salads make great close up shots too! I messed up my close up of the stir fry by not focusing enough.

I have a pants theme this week. I only packed pants for my outfits and it's quite comfy! I guess I'm putting off buying nylons!

Do you have any photography tips?
