This week when I wanted to contribute a photo originally shot in black and white. Alas! other commitments took over my schedule and I had to leave my camera in its case. The second wish was to choose a photo of a dish, something that was the result of cooking ingredients. A dinner at a Japanese restaurant on Sunday, reminded me of this photo where roveja, a legume from my home region of Umbria, is served in a Japanese bowl and eaten with chopsticks.
This is my submission to week #4 edition of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event, recently launched by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white.
This post contains the gallery of photos submitted to the event.
I really like the photo – especially the way it focuses on the food in the bowl and the rest of the back- and foreground is not very sharp 🙂 By the way, yesterday I and my mom were trying to make real Italian risotto and your article about it (http://www.northcoastjournal.com/061407/food0614.html) helped us a lot!! Thank you for all your tips and directions :))
Lovely macro and composition, Simona. I very much look forward to more of your BWW photos. Thanks for sharing this one.
Very nice! I’d love to have a taste, too.
Ciao Catalina. I am so glad you found the article helpful. Thank you so much for letting me know.
Thanks, Susan. It’s a pleasure and a good challenge to participate.
Ciao Paz. It’s a nice legume: I wish it were more widely available. It has also a rough beauty, which I find very appealing.
