Relax. I think it’s all gone.

The water that is, out of my camera. It’s been a very tense week, since I got back and realised that my camera was well and truly shagged. There was still a little condensation behind the display as of yesterday, even though I’ve had the thing in bits, airing out in an empty, covered drawer (with the fan on) since last Sunday.

I turned it on this morning, with the hopes of seeing a reduction in the little moisture left behind that screen. Thankfully, it had all disappeared, and now all that was left to do was check the sensor for smudges, dust and angry Italian women who thought I stole her umbrella. Bitch.

There doesn’t seem to be anything huge, angry or Italian old woman-ish on there, but I’ll still give it a good and thorough clean. Thank you so much to all of you for your support, much appreciated.

On a side note: It appears as though, with just a few hours left in the ‘Inspiring food photography’ nominations for March, that I’m not going to win. Whether that’s because the other’s photos are better than mine, or because I don’t update as often as they do, I don’t know; I don’t know and it hurts. It hurts in here, you know?

Whatever. It’s fine. I just thou- ah…

No. Doesn’t matter…

Thanks to everyone who voted for me though - You’re the smart ones. :)

  1. Huh. That actually looks quite smashing. Lovely. What’s the absolute best way of checking for dust anyway?
    It’s nice to know your camera still works after being molested as you say. Yay! On to more pics.
    By the way, that last long paragraph totally doesn’t sound like you! Is that a tear I see? No, Graeme doesn’t cry!! :p

  2. Shut up, Mark! I’ve got balls of steel! :D

    The best way to check for dirt and other kinds of crap is to just photograph something (preferably something plain and even - white surface), and just look for it when you upload.

    If in doubt, always clean it (lol, that goes for most things in life I think.)

    Those biscuits are great btw, lol. Cheap ass white chocolate digestives.

  3. I’m glad your camera survived. These are beautiful photos!

  4. You deserve to win. You have the bestest food photography I’ve seen (I know this comes from someone as photographically challenged as me, but I know a good thing when I see it!)

  5. These photos are absolutely beautiful, I should get myself to the UK for a crash course with you!

  6. Aran - Thank you, and thank you again.

    Simran - I know. :( But what can you do? Lol.

    Rachel - Thank you, I’m far too shy in real life to give courses of any kind though. :)

  7. Oh, I’m sooo sorry to hear about the camera… and talking about IFP… anyone nominated is winner in some way aleady, beacuse has been chosen from all the food blogs :)
    Have a good day, Margot

  8. I just wanted to thank you. I was going crazy tonight trying to figure out how to make a dypitch and among my searches I came across a tutorial you did on your old blog. I appreciate it so much! I also wanted to say that you take beautiful pictures and I also like the tea cup photographed above. Thanks again for your help!

  9. So glad the camera is okay. It’s like family… And why the hell didn’t you win? Wasn’t my vote worth 1000 votes? wtf? Graeme, at least you will always know that you are a winner to us :) Now where is Mark with that cheesy music of his when you need it? ha ha ha.

  10. Give me one moment in time– when I’m all that I thought I could be
    When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away and the answers are all up to me
    Give me one moment in time– when I’m faced with my destiny
    And in that one moment of time, I will be, I will BE, I will be FREE!

    Sorry, I couldn’t think of more victory music.

  11. Jen - Thanks, much, much appreciated. :)

    Mark - Whitney Houston!? How very 1980’s
