It's a shame that this coincides with the studio time in Chester tonight!

[Paul Harper]

Sorry Gill!
Maybe we need to signpost dates in the Calendar on the Forum more prominently so that we don't clash in future.
See you next time.

The subject of tonight's forum challenge is

"FOOD"

preferably something very mouth wateringly tasty!!

Good luck and even though I will be away from the pc at times (looking after the puppies) I will be back on at 9.30 to judge the entries. Good luck everyone and don't be eating the food!

[Paul Harper]

We haven't seen this for a while!

[Paul Harper]

Burp!

[Paul Harper]

A smiley for you!

[Paul Harper]

From my museum of ancient cooking pots.

[Paul Harper]

Just trying out my new lighting kit after our recent studio lecture. Seems to be working quite well.

[Paul Harper]

Last one. I've got to pick up all the rice I have scattered everywhere!

Shreddie - detail

[Maxine Abbott]

3rd place is Andy's Orange, Lemon & Banana, looks very fresh and appetising

2nd place is Paul's tomatoes, love the back background and the grains really set it off

but.....

My first place winner is Chris's macro of the rice. I just kept coming back to it, thought it looked fab!! Although the meal worms should have put Chris right down in the rankings as they are far from tasty (to me anyway lol)

WELL DONE CHRIS

[Chris Davies]

Thanks Maxine. (damn - it means I have to host!!)
Thanks for hosting - didn't realise how difficult the subject was going to be

[Maxine Abbott]

Your macro shots are very interesting, shreddies will have to be investigated as I am sure they dont look like that normally lol

[Paul Harper]

TTFN - got to pack away my expensive Ikea lighting array and my hi tech props table AKA the ironing board!

See you all Monday!
Paul

[Chris Davies]

it was a genuine Nestle shreddie straight out of the packet.

[Andy Polakowski]

Thanks Maxine and well done Chris.

My first shots of the fruit were just one of each fruit (cut in half) but it was starting to look a little too "fruity", or rather "meat and two veg", so I added the other halves.

Looking forward to the next one and, yes, there does seem to be a convergence towards macro with the forum challenge which we might have to work on. Perhaps one of you could show your compact macro technique at the members' night.

[Pammy Sheldon]

I am gutted that I missed the challenge due to being at the studio night. Well done Chris And I must say how healthy your food cupboards all are lol
