    It's real milk. The cookies are the actual product as well, so next time you're at the Julian Apple Pie store, you can sample them.
    BTW, this was a great compliment in my opinion. Exactly the response I am trying to evoke.

    Nice photo Ragtop. Separate the background just a little more to soften it even more. you could use a little longer focal length and probably get he same results. Crop a little tighter too.

    I have one cropped a little tighter, but there isn't enough room in the foreground in my opinion. I can't use much longer focal length and still shoot in the same room. This was a 100mm lens on a crop sensor with a 1.5 crop factor. I do wish I would have had more separation on the background, but space was limited. Here is another from the shoot.

    Thanks, Gator. I appreciate the CC, BTW. It's nice to get that from someone who shares their work too. Keep 'em coming

    Hope having beef for dinner won't be a problem for you. Stirring an appetite is my goal when photographing food. I see a lot of pictures of food I know is good, but that doesn't look appetizing in photos.

    As for the wine, I only had white. It was a Christmas present from a couple of years ago.

    I love beef. I don’t eat it very often maybe once a week or two. And I break this so-called wine rules all the time. Drink red with fish for example. LOL I have photographed food through the years. Used to do some large format with film many years ago. Used a really good food stylist out of Miami named Nelsey Minor. She had all kinds of tricks making it look great. Glycerin is used a lot

    Played around with Lightroom Mobile with a tire pic from Thursday at the track. I have about 1/2 of this tread left after yesterday.

    That's the problem with track days, you risk the bike, and wear through 2000 miles of tyre in one day.
    What pressure were you running?

    Not my best work. This was a test shot to see if I could pull this off with the simple setup I have. I need a couple of items to really make this pop. It's a little out of focus, actually focus is fine on the sides of the bottle, the depth of field was too shallow. I was shooting hand held, the beer is actually on my tripod in order to get it high enough to let the available light into the bottle. I'll be revisiting this shot once I can put the right gear together.

    I wasn't kidding when I said I'd be revisiting the beer shot. I spent a couple of hours yesterday setting up a couple of different beer photos. I have a couple more shots to edit still, but this was one of the last from last night. Single exposure with only a cleanup layer and a couple of curves layers in Photoshop.
