Cooking with Raymond (Italian) - Flamed Pepper/Mozzarella/tomato salad + Pancetta/Liver/Mushroom Tag

[Stupot_]

Lol. This is the first time there have been decent pics in a food thread and people are moaning! The DOF isn't too narrow, the food is perfectly in focus and you can see what it is so thumbs up!

That looks good Raymond. Haven't cooked liver before so I may give it a go sometime.

Looks lovely. Also I'd much rather be looking at these photos of food than some crappy phone camera photos.

I have to agree that blurry pic thing is played out.

 

[HamZilla]

Looks great. My only reservation is the coriander (I know you said that or parsley. I think its too strong for a pasta dish and more suited to Asian dishes. I would try basil instead.

Oh and I like the dof blur as it allows you to focus on the particular subject being mentioned per step.

It's not a fashion thing. It is a technical thing, sucbconsious and artistic thing.

Go look at some food photos online...Ergo www.jamieoliver.com

A quick simple recipe and looks tasty.

Well I'm not going to get into an argument about it, it's just my opinion, but I think those pictures are really suffering because of your overuse of dof blur. Although I don't seem to be the only one that thinks so. Pictures 4 and 5 are diabolical. I'm not trying to offend, just give some constructive criticism.

Tell that to David Loftus

Looks tasty Raymond, nice and fresh.

Another excellent thread, well done. The vibrancy of colour in the shots is amazing.

Looks nice apart from the liver. I would just use chicken and then I would be happy.

Or just drop the liver conpletely, pancetta and mushrooms are nice.

They are a bit hard to source in Morrisons

 

[Guerrilla]

That looks really nice! You have made me hungry now though

 

[[TW]Sponge]

I think Raymond should have cooking sticky.

 

[Fusion]

Looks tasty. I am a fan of mushroom tagliatelle.

This is my Wednesday meal sorted

Absolutely stunning as usual (food and pictures) not sure why people are getting in a huff. if I had the equipment and more importantly the kmowledge that's how I would take pictures. It is the food which is important and doing it that way makes the food stand out and be vibrant.
Also great to see some of the cheaper rarely used cuts being used.

 

[Wizzfizz]

Looks yum although I'd have to replace the liver with some other cut of meat.

Because it's just a blatant but clever way to get away with pimping his photography in GD, a valuable exercise given the number of people wandering through here.

The photos are nice but the depth of field usage is just excessive.
