This is the second instalment of macro food photos. This time the theme is dessert! Don’t look if you don’t have access to food incase your stomach complains too much and you can’t do anything about it ^^
The photo above is a hazel nut cheese cake. It has chocolate toping and hazel nut flavored whipped cream decoration. The side of the cake is sprinkled with crunched nuts to add extra flavor. The layered cheese cake makes a super delightful dessert.

Just thought I will post some photos I took a while back. I haven’t done much with my camera in the past week mainly because I have been trying to pick up some reading and trying to catch up with my sleeping.

We eat out from time to time and we take lots of food photos. Often times we use the Lumix LX3 because it is small and is not very noticeable. Lately I have taken my T1i with the EF-S 60mm lens out to take photos with and the results are not half bad. If you are hungry, don’t look….
