Help with my mayonnaise please ..

[redbourn]

The good news is that this is a salad, it still exists, and I will have another chance to photograph it.

I am quite happy with the plating and the shadows, but next time I shoot it, what can I do about the mayonnaise at around top center.

Just remove the mayonnaise perhaps but it will still glisten.

Thanks for any tips,

Michael

You could leave it off for the photo.

Just my thought on salad.

Ok on a serious note. I agree, leave it off. No one will know. If you want some look of mayonnaise then just water it down so it coats everything with a bit of sheen, not globs.

Beets make me barf, mayo makes me fart. Nice shots, great improvement in your food shots.

I'd try a CFL to see if it helps
you're getting a lot of glare from the knife too

On a side note, that looks unsharp to me.

Before I worried over lot about the mayo I would try and boil some eggs without over-cooking them. That greenish ring around the yolk is a dead give away

Thanks for the compliment.

I wonder why they affect you like that ?

I heard about a lot of problems when using a CFL - probably as many pluses as minuses.

But I'm new to the game ;-)
