I think that the dark surface looks great, although I might be biased by hunger. I love the fresh peaches.

The heat definitely hinders any desire to carry a huge camera around! Though I think simply switching to my 50mm lens will help a lot.

Love the pictures! I know what you mean about setting up for a shoot and pulling out my DSLR being a chore. Sometimes it even puts me off baking if I’m feeling lazy! But these photos look great, love the dark background, looks like it was worth the effort!

those pastries look soooo yum! I am very reluctant to cook peaches myself…but topped on a puff pastry the slices look so divine. I love the way you click these food snaps, light or dark, but dark definitely works – shows off the reds and pinks so well.

I completely agree with you about the DSLR I get really frustrated. I know that it can take amazing photos but there’s so much heavy lifting and fiddling with dials involved. Your photos are gorgeous I love the dark background.

This looks delicious! And I can’t wait to get an iPhone, so I can ditch the DSLR sometimes and use it to take my blog photos! And you have just made me seriously worried about what the kitchen lighting is going to be like in my new apartment…

These photos are amazing!! I’ve been wanting to get some kind of dark surface to shoot on lately as I love that look. Also, I want to eat all of these. I LOVE puff pastry anything, brown butter anything, pickle anything.

I feel the same way about my camera vs just shooting on my iphone and using instagram. It’s just so much easier in the heat of the summertime. Maybe I’ll turn back to my heavy camera in the autumn and winter? Also, ditto with the peaches, it’s hard to improve on the perfection of a ripe fresh peach – i hate to bake them into a pie.
