The last time I shopped at the Temescal Farmers' Market (Oakland, CA) right before the Holidays, I noticed this inviting presentation of dark leafy greens: it makes it easy for shoppers to reach and grab a bunch to put in their bag or basket. Or maybe a bunch of each: they are all tasty and good for our health.
This week, I have the honor of hosting Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event. created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook and now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar. Send your contribution at simosite AT mac DOT com, namely
- your name

You have until Wednesday, January 2 at noon Pacific time to do so (I am allowing a bit more time due to the New Year's Day holiday). If you are unfamiliar with the event or need a reminder of the rules, you will find the details in this post (and in Italian here). Feel free to use the logo below (it can also be found here). If you have a photo, but no blog, send it to me and I will include it in the roundup, which will be published the evening of Wednesday, January 2.

This is my contribution to edition #64 of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Simona of briciole.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset Split Tone 1, to be precise).
This post contains the gallery of images submitted to the event.
On this page, you can find out who is hosting the current and future editions of the event.
Simona I hope that 2013 is more than you could ever hope for. Have a fantastic New Year.
bellissima foto Simona and Happy New Year!! ps: hai ragione, fare il panettone senza impastatrice non e’ la stessa cosa. magari per il 2013 la befana ti portera’ un’impastatrice?
Thank you so much, Val! Same to you and your family.
Grazie, Barbara, e auguroni anche a te e alla tua famiglia.
Se la chiedessi lo farebbe, ma obiettivamente fare il panettone e’ l’unica cosa per la quale la userei.
This IS an inviting presentation, indeed! Happy New Year! oxox
I like your composition and I like that you mentioned your Lightroom Preset you used. I’m still struggling with Lightroom, but hope to understand it more. Lovely photo! Happy New Year!
Lovely photo! Looking at all that beautiful kale, suddenly, I’m thinking about soup.
Good idea to say what you did to change the colour photo into black and white. I used IrfanView to change my colour photo – first by desaturating. Then I upped the contrast a tiny bit. To make it sepia toned, I altered the colour balance by +15 R, +5 G and -10 B
(I just noticed that the submitted photo is supposed to be no more than 500px wide. Oh oh. If you want me to resend, please let me know.)
Happy New Year!!
Thanks, Paz. Happy New Year to you too!
Hi Lynne and Happy New Year to you too! I also just got Lightroom and I am fumbling a bit with it. When I use a preset in the future, I’ll make sure I record it in the post.
Thanks, Elizabeth! Don’t worry about resending your image. Happy New Year to you too!
