Rainbow carrots

I'm starting to shoot food, and I'm starting to love it. It seems pretty natural that I'd combine two of my favorite things (photo and food), but I avoided it until recently because my shots always looked like crap. Yellow and flat, not as crisp as I'd wanted.

I'm finally getting to the point where I have the right equipment to take shots that I really like. It's so fun to experiment and practice because I know that I'm learning so much each time, moving closer to where I want to be.

I want to produce gorgeous, professional looking shots and I'm confident that I'll be able to someday. In the meantime, here are some carrots in a cup.
