Remember the donut pan that I used for the Kitchen Utensils theme? Well, Glenda came by with some samples of baked donuts. Yes, they were luscious! Especially since I knew they were not fried.
I took quite a few different pictures, both indoors and outdoors and one inside using a mirror. I settled on this perspective because it showed the donut as a 3-D object (not just a flat top) and because I like way the way the lines on the cutting board lead forward giving the picture a feeling of momentum or action. And then I couldn’t take it anymore, and ate the subject matter. Yum!
I processed the picture in Aperture 3.0, first cropping, then using the Punch preset, then manually working on the White Balance. I have two screens… the 17″ on my MacBook Pro and and 23″ inch Mac Monitor. On the large monitor, where I did the editing, the photo looks bright. When I look at it on the MacBook Pro… the image seems a bit too dark. What do you see on your monitors? Is it too dark for you?
