The idea of treating my self with the fruits cocktail with the assortment texture on a bite was attractive and gallant in flavour than ever.

Everything just goes smoothly on the drive and the idea was deliver as what in my head. I am quite happy though. As I have no experience of taking food photo apart from using dslr, I could barely tell you that this is quite challenging. The post here is not going to tell you that I’m expert or being proud on what I am doing lately, no no no…it’s actually not in my purpose even crossed in mind, not at all. It is more to encouraging one to another, to be uniquely YOU, to be creative and to be who you are and the most important thing is that always being grateful to what you have. The truth to be told, It doesn’t matter what camera do you have in hand, its all about how you explore your genuine creativity, having fun with it and keep shooting.  At the end of the day, its not the equipment you have that counts, its the images you've made ~ Penny D...
