Ghirardelli Square-Again

Another walk in Ghirardelli Square. Walked into some of the shops as per the recommendation of some folks, and came up with a couple fun shots. Food photography is quite difficult especially when there is such a variety of colors and rows upon rows of the same item...but I made it work. The other one, well, was just neatly set up so I snapped it. I am finally understanding just how to use the 35mm 1.8...it's a close-up lens. For anything longer i'll need an 85mm 1.4 prime, coming soon :)

East Quad Farmer's Market

Figured I needed to expand my photography to street events, and food so I decided to visit the Davis East Quad Farmer's Market for some shots that I felt turned out pretty well. 

I'll be doing more street events, and commercial food-type stuff from now on to add to the architecture and animals.The Farmer's market, while small had some of the most delicious fruits, vegetables and berries I have had in a long time. If I wasn't so busy taking photos I probably would have bought out the entire market.

After some food shots I decided to try my first hand at portrait work (shudder). Here's probably the first decent shot of people I have ever taken. Thanks to the kind farmer standing by the apricots who let me walk around and shoot pics of him from different angles.

Food

One quick food-related shot before I hit up the farmer's market/Tea List tomorrow :).
Thanks to the sis for being my gracious hand model!
