&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;a rivista fotografica online &lt;a href="http://www.burnmagazine.org/" title="Burn Magazine"&gt;Burn Magazine&lt;/a&gt; ha appena pubblicato l'ultimo lavoro multimediale&lt;/i&gt; del fotografo indiano &lt;a href="http://www.dhirajsingh.com/" title="Dhiraj Singh Website"&gt;Dhiraj Singh&lt;/a&gt;, "My name is Dechen", che ha come soggetto una donna incontrata per caso in un monastero a Manali.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhiraj Singh è uno dei più quotati fotogiornalisti degli ultimi anni ed è stato publicato su Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Lens Blog, New York Times, Guardian, The Wall  Street Journal, MSNBC, L’Espresso, Respekt, The Boston Globe, Los  Angeles Times e altri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il suo bianco e nero, sempre molto "chiuso" nelle ombre pur rimanendo leggibile, illustra magnificamente le storie e le persone, mantendo un rispetto assoluto per queste ultime che è raro da incontrare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Un maestro da ammirare e studiare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

si disconvien fruttare al dolce fico.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: 125%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;»&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="padding: 0pt 1.2em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="padding: 0pt 1.2em 0pt 0pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal;"&gt;(&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri" title="Dante Alighieri"&gt;Dante&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_%28Divina_Commedia%29" title="Inferno (Divina Commedia)"&gt;Inferno&lt;/a&gt;, XV, 65-65&lt;/small&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Il frutto del sorbo è uno di questi ed è oramai difficilissimo trovarlo se non girando per i mercati che periodicamente si tengono nei vari paesi delle montagne dell'Appennino.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Esso viene raccolto in autunno ancora acerbo, per evitare che cada per terra, e lasciato maturare, una volta veniva steso appunto sulla paglia, finché non diventi estremamente maturo e assuma una colorazione marrone violacea. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Da acerbo infatti il suo gusto è aspro e astringente, assolutamente non adatto ad essere mangiato, mentre al giusto grado di maturazione diventa dolcissimo pur mantendo un gusto molto personale con una nota di asprezza che ricorda il vino cotto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Esso è stato utilizzato ovviamente nella tradizionale cucina popolare, soprattutto per la preparazione di marmellate (assieme a zucchero, vaniglia e/o scorza di limone), per preparare la ricetta italiana del famoso idromele, il liquore derivante dalla fermentazione di miele in acqua, oppure addirittura una specie di sidro facendo fermentare solo i frutti nell'acqua.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Il consumo più comune di questo frutto era però proprio "diretto", cioè scegliendo nei solai dove erano stesi a maturare, gli esemplari più maturi che venivano portati in tavola durante l'inverno quando l'altra frutta era assente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La ricetta che propongo è invece una delle più "raffinate", pur se anch'essa tradizionale e piuttosto antica, e vede le sorbe usate per preparare una salsa che si può usare sia su carni rosse (come in questo caso) ma anche su tacchino o faraona, o addirittura pesce (di acqua dolce).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1 kg. di carré di maiale senz'osso.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;300 gr. di sorbe molto mature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;200 gr. di miele&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;100 gr. di pancetta&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 mele cotogne&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 cucchiaini di semi di garofano&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3 cucchiaini di cannella&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1 cucchiaino di zenzero&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1 rametto di rosmarino&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 bicchieri di vino bianco&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sale&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pepe&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steccate la carne coi chiodi di garofano e la pancetta. Cospargetela per bene con sale e pepe e mettetela in forno preriscaldato a 180 gradi per circa 45 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;
Nel mentre sbucciate le mele cotogne, togliete il torsolo e tagliatele a rondelle. Fate sciogliere in un tegame 100 gr. di miele assieme ai due bicchieri di vino e quindi immergetevi le fette di mele. Fate cuocere finché non saranno diventate morbide.&lt;br /&gt;
Togliete le fette di mele e tenetele da parte, e versate nel tegame le sorbe, l'altro miele, la cannella e lo zenzero e un po' d'acqua se necessario. Fate cuocere le sorbe finché non si disfaranno del tutto. Versate il tutto attraverso un setaccio in modo da togliere bucce e semi e fate restringere la salsa finché non avrà la consistenza desiderata. Aggiungete un pizzico di sale.&lt;br /&gt;
Disponete l'arrosto sopra un letto composto con le fette di mela e cospargetelo con la salsa. Mettetelo in forno quanto basta per intiepidire il tutto e servitelo quindi in tavola. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;eferenze:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fruttidimenticati.org/gastronomia/sorba.htm"&gt;La gastronomia dei frutti dimenticati: di Graziano Pozzetto - Sorba&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbus"&gt;Wikipedia: Sorbus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;n ritardo, colpevole ritardo (ma se avete visto come è cambiato l'aspetto del blog in questi ultimi giorni avrete capito il motivo) Food~0~grafia vi propone il calendario desktop di Novembre&lt;/i&gt;, cioè uno sfondo per lo schermo del vostro computer con una foto di food e il calendario del mese in corso.&lt;br /&gt;
Questa volta ho scelto la foto di alcuni frutti "autunnali", ma ho già in preparazione un paio di ricette e un servizio piuttosto lungo di paesaggi e cibo.&lt;br /&gt;
Per impostare lo sfondo, cliccate sul link in fondo al post riportante la dimensione adatta al vostro schermo e, quando apparirà l'immagine, cliccando col tasto destro del mouse (o cliccando col mouse tenendo premuto il tasto ctrl per alcuni utenti Mac) sopra di essa selezionate "imposta come sfondo del desktop..." (o una frase simile a seconda del web browser che usate).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;all'11 novembre 2009 al 31 gennaio 2010&lt;/i&gt; saranno in mostra, presso il Palazzo della Ragione a Milano, quasi 200 scatti del grande fotografo Steve McCurry riguardanti i suoi reportage nel Sud-Est del Mondo: dall'Afghanistan alla Birmania. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"La sequenza di immagini presentata nella mostra SUD-EST evoca l’ampio mosaico dell’esperienza umana e i miei incontri casuali con sagome e ombre, acqua e luce. Ho voluto trasmettere al visitatore il senso viscerale della bellezza e della meraviglia che ho trovato di fronte a me, durante i miei viaggi, quando la sorpresa dell’essere estraneo si mescola alla gioia della familiarità”. (S.McCurry) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve McCurry è forse il fotografo più conosciuto del National Geographic grazie anche alla foto della ragazzina afghana diventa un'icona del primo conflitto in quel paese (quello dell'invasione russa dal '79 al '89) e riproposta dappertutto (anche nel manifesto della mostra infatti).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ma il suo lavoro non è certo quella sola immagine, oramai diventata anche un po' stucchevole come tutte le icone, anzi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questa è quindi una ottima occasione per conoscere e comprendere il lavoro di questo grandissimo fotoreporter e, magari, anche di imparare qualcosa (almeno per me di sicuro): &lt;br /&gt;
"Ho imparato a essere paziente. Se aspetti abbastanza, le persone dimenticano la macchina fotografica e la loro anima comincia a librar si verso di te" (S. McCurry) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La gioia del viaggio, dello scoprire luoghi e culture diverse dalla propria, l'attesa dell'inaspettato ad ogni angolo: si sente questo nelle foto di Mc Curry ed è una sensazione che trascende la loro bellezza estetica visiva. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Perché già il solo viaggiare e approfondire la conoscenza di culture diverse, mi procura gioia e mi dà una carica inesauribile." (S. McCurry) &lt;br /&gt;
Come dargli torto? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non perdetela.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img align="left" alt="frutta d'autunno" title="frutta d'autunno" src="http://www.alessandroguerani.com/foto_blog/autumn-fruits-01v-blog.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 50px;" /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uesto blog ha oramai quasi due anni e, devo confessarlo, &lt;/i&gt;fin dall'inizio la formula mi è stata un po' stretta. Non che abbia nulla contro i blog: i post ogni due-tre giorni sono perfetti per la ricetta carina e semplice, per il tutorial a livello base sulla fotografia o per mostrare appunto la foto fatta, non dico per caso, ma senza un vero progetto dietro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dietro al rinnovato aspetto di questo "luogo virtuale" c'è anche il desiderio di presentare degli articoli e dei progetti che abbiano un respiro più ampio e che, proprio per questa caratteristica, non sono adatti ad essere prodotti, e peraltro anche "consumati", nell'arco di un giorno o due.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ciò non significherà che non ci saranno più i "post" brevi e coincisi, ma che il cuore di Food~0~grafia sarà, almeno ogni mese, un vero o proprio servizio, come nelle riviste. Che verterà, come prima, sulla fotografia o sulla cucina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
E su tutto quello che ci sta nel mezzo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Un'altra novità è che sia gli articoli che i post da oggi in poi non saranno più bilingue, quelli in inglese avranno un loro spazio (e anche un loro RSS feed apposito) così anche da permettere ai lettori in tale lingua di non dover scorrere per righe e righe prima di riuscire a trovare dove iniziare a leggere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I campi che si stendono nella pianura attorno a Bologna sono costellati di queste piccole edicole votive dedicate in maggior parte alla Madonna per ringraziamento (o richiesta) della protezione dal maltempo e dalle inondazioni.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ancora oggi la maggior parte di esse sono ben curate ed è raro vederne qualcuna senza dei fiori freschi o abbandonata.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The fields that lie on the plains around Bologna are dotted with these little votive shrines for the most part dedicated to Our Lady, thanking for (or requesting) protection from storms and flooding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even today, most of them are well tended and is rare to find one without fresh flowers or abandoned.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;e a voi, come a me, capita di avere il frigorifero quasi vuoto&lt;/i&gt; tornando a casa la sera, allora questa ricetta vi fa decisamente comodo.&lt;br /&gt;
Infatti gran parte degli ingredienti, tranne le uova, possono essere sostituiti da quello che avete a portata di mano e comunque riuscirete a preparare un piatto che può fare una bella figura se portato in tavola.&lt;br /&gt;
Ad esempio io dovevo consumare della panna acida che mi stava scadendo, ma si può usare ricotta, crema di formaggio, mascarpone, panna normale, fatta magari un attimo rapprendere, oppure un misto di tutto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 2 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
6 cucchiai di panna acida&lt;br /&gt;
1 cucchiaio di erba cipollina&lt;br /&gt;
2 uova&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. di burro&lt;br /&gt;
2 cucchiai di pecorino grattugiato&lt;br /&gt;
sale&lt;br /&gt;
pepe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Separate i rossi delle uova e montate a neve le chiare, mischiate i rossi con un 2 cucchiai di panna acida, un pizzico di sale e un po' di pepe macinato. Aggiungete un poco alla volta le chiare montate mescolando delicatamente in modo da avere un composto molto morbido. Fate sciogliere su una padella antiaderente il burro, versate il composto e fatelo cuocere a fuoco basso per circa 5 minuti. Nel mentre mescolate la restante panna acida con l'erba cipollina. Staccate l'omelette, riempitela con la mistura di panna acida, piegatela in due e fatela cuocere per un altro paio di minuti. Servite su un piatto spolverizzato con abbondante pecorino grattugiato.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;f you find the refrigerator almost empty&lt;/i&gt;, just like it happened to me last evening, then this recipe could be pretty convenient. &lt;br /&gt;
Most of its ingredients, except the eggs, can be replaced with what you have at disposal and you can still managed to prepare a dish that will make a nice impression when served. &lt;br /&gt;
For example I had to use the sour cream, because its life was running out, but you can use cottage cheese, cream cheese, mascarpone, normal cream, maybe just a bit thicken up, or a mixture of everything. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 2 omelettes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
6 tablespoons sour cream &lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon chives &lt;br /&gt;
2 eggs &lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoons butter &lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons grated pecorino cheese&lt;br /&gt;
salt &lt;br /&gt;
pepper &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Separate the yolks and whip the egg whites, mix the yolks with 2 tablespoons of sour cream, a pinch of salt and a bit of ground pepper. Add the whipped whites  little by little, stirring gently, so to prepare a very soft mixture. Melt the butter in a frying pan, pour into the mixture and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the remaining sour cream with the chopped chives. Remove the omelette from the pan, fill with the sour cream mixture, fold in half and cook for another couple of minutes. Serve sprinkled with the grated pecorino cheese.&lt;br /&gt;

Questo vuol dire che ci saranno ancora ricette, preparatevi infatti ad alcune bontà stagionali, e anche sempre più articoli sulla fotografia legata al mondo del food, ma non solo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questo è il motivo che ha visto un attimo di rallentamento nei post negli ultimi giorni: è una specie di rincorsa per potere offrire un blog migliore e sempre più interessante, dove possiate trovare argomenti, suggestioni e idee che non siano la solita "ricetta" della zia o i tecnicismi di alcuni siti fotografici che però non insegnano per nulla come si cattura davvero una immagine. Il tutto in una maniera più ordinata e fruibile, una specie di blog "da sfogliare".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inoltre sto anche allestendo un nuovo studio fotografico che, pur portandomi via altro tempo, mi consentirà sicuramente di migliorare anche la qualità delle immagini. Se non altro perché avrò più spazio e luce a disposizione.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tante novità e tanto lavoro di cui presto vedrete i risultati.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With the coming of Autumn Food-0-grafia is gearing up to become more and more a kind of virtual magazine of food and photography and... everything that is in between. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that there will be recipes still, be prepared to some good seasonal ones, but even more articles on photography related, but not exclusively, to the food world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the reason why you could have noticed a momentary slow down in posts in the latest days, but it is a kind of run-up to prepare a better and more interesting blog where you can find arguments, suggestions and ideas that won't be the same old recipe of Aunt Mary or the technicalities of some photo sites that at the end do not teach you how to capture an image. All this will be presented in a more orderly and enjoyable way, a kind of blog "to browse through" like a magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, I'm also setting up a new studio which, while eating away some other of my time, it will certainly improve the quality of my shooting, if not just because I'll have more space and light available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of news and hard work and soon you will see the results.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;vete tempo di fotografare solo alla sera? &lt;/i&gt;La stanza dove scattate ha finestre piccole e buie? Questo post continua ad analizzare le basi della fotografia di food parlando del sistema più "semplice" (in teoria) di illuminazione fotografica: la luce continua.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Si chiama luce continua perché la luce viene prodotta da lampade che restano accese, permettendo quindi di vedere il loro effetto in tempo reale. Per questa loro somiglianza al comportamento della luce naturale sono talvolta preferite ai flash, che invece producono luce con un lampo i cui effetti sulla scena da riprendere non sono sempre facili da "prevedere".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La luce continua è anche la luce usata nei set cinematografici e televisivi e in tutte quelle occasioni dove è necessario riprendere scene in movimento e quindi, per ovvi motivi, non si possono usare luci flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Visti i vantaggi vi chiederete di certo perché non si usano sempre questo tipo di luci: elencando adesso i vari tipi di luce continua disponibile sul mercato capirete che, come in tutte le cose, ci sono anche degli svantaggi e dei compromessi a cui bisogna sottostare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uce Continua Calda (Hot Lights)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sono la forma più "antica" di luce continua in quanto, in pratica, non sono altro che lampadine ad iridescenza al tungsteno (come le vecchie lampadine di casa insomma) o, più recentemente, al quarzo (dette anche alogene).&lt;br /&gt;
Al vantaggio di avere un basso costo (si possono anche usare attrezzature non specifiche per la fotografia) hanno però tre grossi svantaggi: il primo è che sono calde. MOLTO calde. Specie in relazione alla potenza di luce emessa. &lt;br /&gt;
Che è infatti il secondo problema. &lt;br /&gt;
Essendo energeticamente inefficienti (a meno che uno non voglia usarle da stufetta :D ) per illuminare una scena per potere usare tempi di scatto piuttosto veloci e sensibilità ISO basse dovete accumulare potenze dai 2-3000 watt in su. &lt;br /&gt;
Sono quindi sconsigliabili da impiegare per fotografare persone in ambienti piccoli: cuocerete voi e loro.&lt;br /&gt;
Invece per il food, che è di solito un soggetto statico, si possono usare anche potenze minori, dai 500 ai 1000 watt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/SthbwbEly4I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/_5S5dIEihoc/s1600-h/hot_light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/SthbwbEly4I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/_5S5dIEihoc/s320/hot_light.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Rimarrà il problema del calore (e quindi vi scordate semifreddi, gelati, eccetera) oltre al fatto che se poi avete necessità di "modificare" la luce (per renderla più morbida, per indirizzarla, eccetera) avrete bisogno di usare sistemi specifici per la fotografia con accessori che devono resistere ad alte temperature, con questo vanificando in buona parte (se non del tutto) l'economicità di cui parlavamo all'inizio.&lt;br /&gt;
Oltretutto bisogna veramente stare attenti con certi materiali tipo carta, e altri facilmente infiammabili, perché i rischi che prendano fuoco se troppo vicini alle luci sono concreti (ve lo dico per esperienza diretta).&lt;br /&gt;
Il terzo problema che hanno questo tipo di luci è il "colore" della luce che producono. E' infatti una luce "rossa" o "calda" che va bilanciata al momento dello scatto o, al massimo, in post produzione (come descritto in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/10/fotografia-di-food-bilanciamento-del.html"&gt;questo post&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uce Continua Fredda (Fluorescent Lights)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recentemente le luci fluorescenti hanno avuto un notevole miglioramento tecnologico. Solo qualche anno fa erano poco diverse dalle normali luci "neon" da ufficio. Oggi  invece hanno una buona efficienza energetica, a pari consumo di watt basso emettono una quantità di luce nettamente superiore alle luci "calde". Inoltre hanno il notevole vantaggio di scaldarsi notevolmente di meno, per cui sono entrate ben presto a far parte delle attrezzature per la fotografia e le riprese video. A questo si aggiunge che il colore emesso, che nelle vecchie luci fluorescenti era uno dei più difficili da controllare per via della sua tonalità verdastra e imprevidibilità,  con le moderne lampadine "daylight" si è avvicinato notevolmente a quello della luce solare (i famosi 5500 gradi Kelvin, vi ricordate vero?).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/SthcnZKEM0I/AAAAAAAAAeY/Jxrd3Y2uT9Q/s1600-h/cold_light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/SthcnZKEM0I/AAAAAAAAAeY/Jxrd3Y2uT9Q/s320/cold_light.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Quali sono in questo caso gli svantaggi? Il maggiore è comunque che le luci fluorescenti sono più "voluminose" a parità di potenza di una luce calda, non parlando poi dei flash. Inoltre sia la potenza che la corrispondenza del colore della luce ai 5500k sono spesso indicati in maniera molto "ottimistica" dai produttori. Infatti il rapporto 1 a 5 con le luci calde (cioè una lampadina di 20 watt fluorescente dovrebbe fare la stessa luce di una da 100 watt al tungsteno) è parecchio discutibile, per esperienza pratica si avvicina in realtà più a 1 a 4, mentre le luci "daylight" in realtà danno un colore della luce più sui 4000-4500 gradi Kelvin che ai 5500 del sole, necessitando quindi di una correzione del bianco in fase di ripresa.&lt;br /&gt;
Tenuto conto di questi limiti, che impediscono ai sistemi con luce fluorescente di avere tutta la gamma di accessori disponibili per i sistemi flash, rimangono una ottima scelta soprattutto per chi, come noi, deve fare foto a soggetti statici come il food e quindi non ha bisogna di elevatissime potenze di luce.&lt;br /&gt;
Personalmente poi le preferisco proprio perché la luce emessa in modo continuo rende più facile far sembrare le foto come scattate con luce naturale, che rimane ancora il sistema migliore per far sembrare il food appetibile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uci HMI (Hydrargyrum Medium-arc Iodide)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/Sthc_0gmaHI/AAAAAAAAAeg/gC2g8rqi2ys/s1600-h/hmi_light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/Sthc_0gmaHI/AAAAAAAAAeg/gC2g8rqi2ys/s320/hmi_light.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Sono luci simili a quelle fluorescenti ma che permettono potenze notevolmente superiori, per questo motivo sono le luci che vengono più usate nell'industria cinematografica. Per quello che è il nostro campo di applicazione, se non avete veramente tanti soldi e bisogno di illuminare set fotografici immani non pensateci neppure, sono inoltre molto ingombranti e pesanti dovendo usare delle ballaste per regolare la tensione elettrica.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il prossimo post parleremo dei principali sistemi per "modificare" la luce per poi continuare con le luci flash che sono il sistema più "completo" per chi voglia fare fotografia di studio.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;o you have time to take pictures only late in the evening?&lt;/i&gt; Is the room where you shoot dimly lighted by small windows? &lt;br /&gt;
This post continues the analysis of the basics of food photography describing the more (theorically) "simple" systems of photographic lighting: the continuos light ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is called continuous light because lighting is produced by lamps, enabling you to see their effect in real time as it resembles the behavior of natural light. For that reason it is sometimes preferred to flash lighting whose effects on the scene are not always easy to be "predicted".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The continuous light is the lighting system used in movie sets and television studios and in all those occasions where it is necessary to reproduce motion scenes  and therefore, for obvious reasons, you can not use flash lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given those benefits you'll wonder why these devices aren't always used: as I'll list the various kinds of continuous light on the market you will understand that, as in all things, there are drawbacks and compromises to which the user must submit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ot Lights&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are the most "ancient" continuous light devices as they are in practice nothing diffirent than iridescent bulbs (tungsten bulbs as in the old lamps you always used at home) or, more recently, quartz (also called halogens).&lt;br /&gt;
The advantage of low cost (you can also use some equipment not specific to photography) is however balanced by three major drawbacks: the first is that they are hot. DAMN HOT. Especially in relation to the power of light emitted.&lt;br /&gt;
That is in fact the second problem.&lt;br /&gt;
Since they are energy-inefficient, to illuminate a scene so you can use slower shutter speeds and low ISO sensitivity you'd need hot lights from 2-3000 watts up.&lt;br /&gt;
They are therefore not the best choice if you have to shoot people in small rooms unless you want to experience what the food could feel in the oven.&lt;br /&gt;
Instead for shooting food, which is usually pretty "static", you can use less power, from 500 to 1000 watts.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart the heat problems (forget to shoot parfaits, ice cream, etc. with hot lights) if you need to "modify" the light (to make it softer, thereby targeting, etc.) you'd need to use specific photographical accessories that must withstand high temperatures, whose high cost erases in part (if not entirely) the economical advantage of which I formerly spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
Above all you must really be careful with certain materials like paper, and other highly flammable, because the risks they take fire if too close to the lights are real (I tell you from personal experience).&lt;br /&gt;
The third problem with this type of light is the "color" they produce which is  "red" and "hot" and must be balanced at shooting time or, in a worse way, in post production (as I described in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/10/%20photo-of-food-balance-del.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;old Lights (Fluorescent Lights)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fluorescent lights have had a significant technological improvement recently. Just few years ago there were little differences between them and the usual office "neon" lights. They have good energy efficiency, with the same watt power they emit a lot more light than hot lights. They also have the considerable advantage of being considerably less hot, for this reason they soon came to be part of photography and video equipment. Take also in count that the color of he light emitted, which in old fluorescent lights was one of the most difficult to control because of its unpredictable greenish tint, with modern light daylight lamps is considerably closer to the sunlight (the famous 5500 degrees Kelvin, do you remember it?).&lt;br /&gt;
Which are the disadvantages then? The biggest is that fluorescent lights are more "cumbersome", for the same power, than hot lights, not to talk about flash lights. Another problem is that both the power than the "daylight" term are used in in a very "optimistic" way by the light makers. &lt;br /&gt;
The ratio of 1 to 5 with hot lights (ie a 20 watt fluorescent bulb should do the same light as a 100 watt tungsten) is quite debatable indeed, by personal practical experience is actually more closer to 1 to 4, while "daylight" lamps produce a light with a color of about 4000-4500 degrees Kelvin, thus necessitating a white balance correction anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
Despite these limitations, that prevent fluorescent light systems to have the whole range of accessories available to flash systems, they remains a good choice especially for those, like us, need to take pictures of static subjects such as food and therefore do not need of high power lighting.&lt;br /&gt;
Personally I also prefer because them because light emitted in a continuous way makes easier to shoot photos that looks like they were taken with natural light, which is still the best way to make food look appetizing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;MI lights (Hydrargyrum Medium-arc Iodide)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are similar to fluorescent lights but they allow to build systems of much higher power, that are therefore the most used in the movie industry. If you do not really have a lot of money and need to light a REALLY huge photo set do not even think about them, they are also very bulky and heavy as they use ballasts to adjust the voltage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next post I will write about the various accessories that "modify" the light and then I will continue describing the flash light systems that are the most "complete" for those who want to do studio photography.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;cusate se negli ultimi giorni&lt;/i&gt; sto aggiornando il blog con meno frequenza ma vari lavori e l'acquisto di un nuovo studio (con tutta la burocrazia relativa) mi stanno tenendo parecchio occupato. Non tutti i mali vengon per nuocere, direte, però purtroppo il giorno ha solo 24 ore (maledetto!) e non ha senso fare dei post tirati via tanto per fare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come avevo promesso in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/fotografia-di-food-video-di-un-set-food.html"&gt;quest'altro post&lt;/a&gt; inizio oggi una serie di post che proseguono nello spiegare le varie tecniche di illuminazione e ripresa che si usano nella fotografia di food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partiamo quindi dall'argomento, per tanti misterioso, chiamato "bilanciamento del bianco".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;a luce ha colore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Avete mai notato come all'alba o al tramonto la luce abbia un colore differente che a mezzogiorno? Oppure come in una giornata nuvolosa tutto sembri più "blu-grigio" rispetto ad una giornata di sole?&lt;br /&gt;
Il motivo è che la luce ha un colore o, per meglio dire, una temperatura che, convenzionalmente, viene indicata in gradi Kelvin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nonostante quello che si potrebbe pensare a temperature più basse corrisponde un colore della luce più "caldo" (cioè tendente al rosso) mentre a temperature più alte il colore della luce diventa più freddo (cioè tendente al blu).&lt;br /&gt;
Voi vi chiederete "ma a noi tutta questa pappardella checcefrega?". &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tantissimo se fotografate perché, mentre il nostro occhio bilancia automaticamente la luce, eliminandone i colori più forti, sia la pellicola che il sensore digitale non lo fanno, col risultato che, ad esempio, una scena illuminata dalla luce di una lampadina vi apparirà immersa in una tinta "rossa" una volta fotografata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWljuL40pI/AAAAAAAAAds/fz3PcwWkezQ/s1600-h/color+temp.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWljuL40pI/AAAAAAAAAds/fz3PcwWkezQ/s320/color+temp.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ecco una semplice "tabella" dei colori della luce a seconda della sua natura:&lt;br /&gt;
come vedete&amp;nbsp; la luce delle normali lampadine è rosso-arancione, ma anche quella  della lampade fluorescenti casalinghe è giallo-arancione, nonostante a nostri occhi sembri "bianca".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriviamo quindi al concetto di bilanciamento del bianco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per capirlo basta fare attenzione a come appunto il nostro cervello ci faccia sembrare bianche luci anche molto "colorate", come ad esempio appunto quelle delle lampadine, facendo "slittare" tutti i colori in modo che una luce che sarebbe a circa 2700 gradi Kelvin sembri simile a quella solare (che sono 5500 gradi Kelvin).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Con la fotografia in pellicola non vi era nessun modo di usare un "trucco" simile a quello che fa il nostro cervello. Bisognava o usare dei filtri per neutralizzare una luce colorata (per esempio un filtro blu neutralizza, cioè rende bianca, una luce rossa) oppure usare pellicole appositamente studiate per i vari tipi di luce (per esempio il tungsteno, cioè le normali vecchie lampadine).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il digitale invece ci permette di usare esattamente la stessa procedura che fa il nostro cervello, e in maniera anche più efficiente. La procedura di bilanciamento del bianco può essere fatta prima di scattare la foto, impostando la macchina fotografica correttamente, cioè dicendogli con che luce stiamo scattando, oppure in post produzione, cioè in un programma di fotoritocco, selezionando un punto della foto dove sappiamo che c'è un colore neutro (cioè grigio).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWrQPi6q8I/AAAAAAAAAd0/ibt-06lVspM/s1600-h/WB_camera.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWrQPi6q8I/AAAAAAAAAd0/ibt-06lVspM/s320/WB_camera.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Nelle macchine fotografiche reflex digitali (ma anche in tante compatte di buon livello) fra i vari menu a disposizione ne avrete uno simile dove potrete impostare il "colore" della luce con cui state fotografando.&lt;br /&gt;
AWB significa che sarà la macchina a provare ad "indovinare" la temperatura della luce.&lt;br /&gt;
I vari simboli significano invece le più comuni condizioni di luce che potrete incontrare (nell'ordine si vede sole a mezzogiorno, ombra, sole in giornata nuvolosa, lampadina incadescente, lampadina fluorescente, luce flash, valore esatto, valore settabile tramite ruota di selezione).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWubxqVZQI/AAAAAAAAAd8/kdhX2wro3q4/s1600-h/gimp_levels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWubxqVZQI/AAAAAAAAAd8/kdhX2wro3q4/s320/gimp_levels.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In post produzione invece potrete bilanciare il bianco usando vari strumenti, quello di solito più pratico da usare è "livelli" dove potete vedere l'istogramma della foto e dove ci sono tre diversi contagocce, uno nero, uno grigio, uno bianco.&lt;br /&gt;
Quello per impostare il bilanciamento del bianco è quello grigio, evidenziato nell'immagine (che mostra la finestra Livelli di GIMP, quella di Photoshop e degli altri programmi è più o meno uguale). Premete sul contagocce per selezionarlo dopodiché ripremete il mouse sopra una sezione dell'immagine dove dovrebbe trovarsi un colore neutro ma che in realtà è "colorato" dalla luce (per esempio una tovaglia bianca o un piatto).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vedrete di conseguenza variare tutti i colori dell'immagine che diventerà, sperabilmente, simile a se l'aveste fotografata con la luce del sole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;orry for the last days&lt;/i&gt; where I updated the blog less frequently but various works and the purchase of a new studio (with all the included bureaucracy) has been keeping me quite busy. " Every cloud has a silver lining" , you could tell me, but unfortunately the day is only of 24 hours (damn!) and it would make no sense to write crap just to post something new. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I promised in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/fotografia-di-food-video-di-un-set-food.html"&gt;this earlier post&lt;/a&gt; I'm starting today a series of posts explaining the various techniques of lighting and shooting that are used in the photography of food. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's start on the subject, for so many mysterious, called "white balance".  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ight has color&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you ever noticed how at sunrise or sunset the light has a color different than at noon? Or as in a cloudy day everything seems more "blue-gray" than in a sunny day? &lt;br /&gt;
The reason is that light has a color or, rather, a temperature that, conventionally, is indicated in Kelvin degrees.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite what you might think at lower temperatures corresponds a "warmer" (ie, tending to red) color of light&amp;nbsp; while, at higher temperatures, the light color becomes colder (ie, bluish). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll wonder "Why should I care about all this almost non-sense stuff?".&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to be a photographer you should care about it a lot because our eyes automatically balances the light, mostly eliminating its color,&amp;nbsp; while both films and digital sensors do not, with the result that, for example, a scene illuminated by a tungsten light bulb will appear  in a photo with a pronunced "red" cast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWzAVOhupI/AAAAAAAAAeE/kz4FhHoz8Nw/s1600-h/color+temp+eng.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWzAVOhupI/AAAAAAAAAeE/kz4FhHoz8Nw/s320/color+temp+eng.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a simple "table" of colors of light depending on its nature:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see the light of&amp;nbsp; tungsten light bulbs is red-orange, but also the one from conventional fluorescent bulbs is yellow-orange, despite it seems pretty "white" to our eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's talk then about the concept of white balance.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To understand it, just pay enough attention how our brain make us feel "whitish" colored light, such as the one produced by those light bulbs, shifting all the colors so that a light about 2700 degrees Kelvin "hot" would appear similar to sunlight at noon (which is 5500 degrees Kelvin). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With film based photography, there was no way to use a trick similar to the one used by our brain. You had to use filters to neutralize a colored light (ie a blue filter neutralizes, alas it makes white, a red light) or use films specially designed for the different types of light (ie tungsten, the normal old light bulbs). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Digital allows us, instead, to use exactly the same procedure that use our brain, and in an even more efficient way. The white balance can be set before taking the picture, telling the camera which light we are shooting under, or in post production, that is, a photo editing program, selecting a point on the picture where we know that can be found a neutral color (alas a shade of gray). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWrQPi6q8I/AAAAAAAAAd0/ibt-06lVspM/s1600-h/WB_camera.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWrQPi6q8I/AAAAAAAAAd0/ibt-06lVspM/s320/WB_camera.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In digital SLR cameras (but also in many advanced compact cameras) there is a similar menu where you can set the "color" of light of the "scene" you are shooting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AWB means that the camera will try to "guess" the temperature of the light. &lt;br /&gt;
The various symbols depict the most common lighting conditions you can meet (in order the sun at noon, shade, overcast daylight, incadescente bulb, fluorescent bulb, flashlight, exact value, value settable by wheel selection) . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWubxqVZQI/AAAAAAAAAd8/kdhX2wro3q4/s1600-h/gimp_levels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E7MOljOsrSw/StWubxqVZQI/AAAAAAAAAd8/kdhX2wro3q4/s320/gimp_levels.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;In post-production you can balance the white using various tools, the usually more convenient to use is "levels" where you can see the histogram of the photo and where there are three different eyedroppers: one black, one gray, one white. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The one to set the white balance is the grey eyedropper, circled in red in the picture (which shows the Layers window of GIMP, Photoshop and other programs are similar). Click on the eyedropper to select it then press again with the mouse over an area of the image where there is a neutral color "colored" by the light (eg a white tablecloth or a plate). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will see therefore change all the colors of the image that will, hopefully, be then similar if you had photographed it with sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Anche oggi nessuna ricetta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scusatemi, ma avevo da tanto tempo trascurato le altre mie fotografie come questo scatto che solo ieri notte ho scansionato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Con onestà non vorrei descriverlo, e forse non saprei nemmeno. Forse serve solo vedere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also today no new recipe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excuse me, but I had neglected for so long my other photos like this shot that I scanned just last night. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honestly I would not like to describe it, and maybe I would not know how to either. Maybe there's only to see.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ogni tanto mi ricordo che sono un fotografo e che il mio lavoro è anche catturare immagini di qualcosa che non sia solo food. &lt;br /&gt;
Ieri avevo da fare degli scatti editoriali di accessori di moda e mi è venuta quest'idea per rendere le cose un poco più divertenti.&lt;br /&gt;
Secondo voi "al naturale" erano nere o marroni? :D&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img height="32" src="http://www.alessandroguerani.com/bl/divisor03.png" width="627" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every now and then I remember that I am also a photographer and that my job is to capture images that are not just food related. &lt;br /&gt;
I had to take editorial fashion accessories shots yesterday and I got this idea to make things a little more fun . &lt;br /&gt;
What do you think? This shoe is originally black or brown? :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6389670005598507867-5083572753543989836?l=www.foodografia.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;hi fra voi non ha bisogno di coccolarsi&lt;/i&gt; un po' la mattina appena sveglio?&lt;br /&gt;
Il post di oggi non è una vera ricetta, è proprio una cura anti stress da risveglio. E vi assicuro che funziona!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 2 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2 caffè espresso&lt;br /&gt;
2 cucchiai di panna montata&lt;br /&gt;
2 bianchi d'uovo&lt;br /&gt;
150 gr. di zucchero a velo&lt;br /&gt;
1 cucchiaino di succo di limone&lt;br /&gt;
1 cucchiaino di cacao in polvere&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Per prima cosa prepariamo le meringhe la sera prima (o anche qualche giorno prima, non vanno a male) montando a neve i due chiari d'uovo ai quali avrete aggiunto il succo di limone. Aggiungete pian piano lo zucchero continuando a montare finché non si sciolga del tutto. Con un cucchiaio o una sac a poche fate dei piccoli mucchi di composto sopra una teglia coperta da carta di forno. Infornate a 80-100 gradi al massimo per circa 3 ore.&lt;br /&gt;
Preparate i caffè espresso nella tazzina, aggiungete ad ognuno un cucchiaio di panna montata e sopra una meringa. Spolverizzate con il cacao prima di servire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ho among you does not need to pamper herself &lt;/i&gt;a bit in the morning when she awakes? Today post is not really a recipe, it's a cure against awakening stress. And I assure you that it works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 2 servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2 espresso coffees&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons whipped cream&lt;br /&gt;
2 egg whites&lt;br /&gt;
1⅛ cup confectioners' sugar&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon lemon juice &lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon cocoa powder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First prepare meringues the night before (or even a few days before, they do not rot, lol!) whipping the two egg whites with the lemon juice. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until it dissolves completely. With a spoon or a sac a poche create some small piles of mixture over an oven tray covered with baking paper. Bake at 175-210F for about 3 hours. Prepare the espresso coffee into two cupa, add to each a tablespoon of whipped cream and a meringue at top. Sprinkle with cocoa before serving.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uando sfogliate un libro di cucina italiana "tradizionale"&lt;/i&gt; scritto da un autore anglosassone è sempre alto il rischio di trovare ricette raccolte qua e là e "modificate" (per non dire stravolte) in maniera tale che un autoctono non può far altro che sorridere sconsolato.&lt;br /&gt;
Non è questo il caso con &lt;a href="http://www.divinacucina.com/code/secrets.html"&gt;"Secrets from My Tuscan Kitchen"&lt;/a&gt;, un ricettario toscano scritto dalla mia amica &lt;a href="http://www.divinacucina.blogspot.com/"&gt;Judy Witts Francini&lt;/a&gt; che, grazie al non piccolo vantaggio di vivere in Toscana da 25 anni, riesce a raccontare proprio come si cucina oggi in questa magnifica regione italiana.&lt;br /&gt;
Sfogliandolo mi sono ritrovato proiettato nella mia infanzia e ai piatti che mangiavo assieme al mio babbo fiorentino.&lt;br /&gt;
Qui di seguito vi propongo uno di quelli che ho più nel cuore e che ho ritrovato, uguale uguale a come mi ricordavo, nel libro di Judy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
800 gr. di fagioli cannellini cotti&lt;br /&gt;
400 gr. di pasta corta (ditalini o maccheroncini)&lt;br /&gt;
3 spicchi d'aglio&lt;br /&gt;
1 rametto di rosmarino&lt;br /&gt;
1 rametto di salvia&lt;br /&gt;
concentrato di pomodoro&lt;br /&gt;
4 cucchiai di olio d'oliva&lt;br /&gt;
sale&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fate soffriggere nell'olio gli spicchi d'aglio, il rosmarino e la salvia finché l'aglio non sarà dorato. Gettate via gli odori e tenete l'olio da parte.&lt;br /&gt;
Fate una purea con i fagioli usando anche la loro acqua di cottura e aggiungendone un po' per renderlo più liquido, se necessario.&lt;br /&gt;
Mettetelo in un tegame, aggiungete un po' di concentrato di pomodoro per fargli prendere un colore rosato e fatelo bollire. Salate e versate dentro la pasta e fatela cuocere per circa dieci minuti, aggiungendo acqua se è troppo fitto (dipende dai gusti, a me piace veramente molto fitto che un cucchiaio infilato dentro deve stare in piedi). Quando la pasta è cotta versatela nei piatti di portata e conditela con l'olio preparato in precedenza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="" name="eng008"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img height="32" src="http://www.alessandroguerani.com/bl/divisor01.png" width="627" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;hen you browse cookbooks about "traditional" Italian cooking&lt;/i&gt; written by english speaking authors there's always a high risk of finding recipes collected here and there and 'modified' (if not distorted) in a way that a native can not help but smile sadly.&lt;br /&gt;
This is not the case with '&lt;a href="http://www.divinacucina.com/code/secrets.html"&gt;Secrets from My Tuscan Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;', a Tuscan cookbook written by my friend &lt;a href="http://www.divinacucina.blogspot.com/"&gt;Judy Witts Francini&lt;/a&gt; who, thanks to the fact of living in Tuscany for 25 years, manages to tell you how food is really cooked today in this wonderful Italian region. &lt;br /&gt;
Browsing through it I found myself thrown into my childhood and the dishes that I ate with my Florentine father. &lt;br /&gt;
I'm suggesting you one that I have in my heart and I found, identically described to what I remembered, in Judy's cookbook. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 4 servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4 cups of cooked beans (navy or pinto)&lt;br /&gt;
14 oz. macaroni (short type is better)&lt;br /&gt;
3 cloves of garlic&lt;br /&gt;
1 branch of fresh sage &lt;br /&gt;
1 branch of rosemary&lt;br /&gt;
tomato paste&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons of olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
salt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sautè the garlic cloves, the rosemary and the sage in the oil. When the garlic becomes golden, throw all the vegetables away and save the oil.&lt;br /&gt;
Puree the beans together with their cooking liquid, adding some water to thin if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
Pour into a pot, add some tomato paste to make the soup a bit pinkish and put it to boil. Add salt and pasta and let cook for about ten minutes, adding water if necessary (it's a matter of taste, I prefer the soup to be so thick that a spoon wouldn't fall if placed inside it). Pour into the serving plates, drizzling with the oil you previously prepared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uò un piatto di pasta essere leggero e gustoso&lt;/i&gt; allo stesso tempo?&lt;br /&gt;
Sì, se usate verdure fresche di stagione preparate con altri ingredienti che esaltano il loro sapore e rendono la ricetta stuzzicante e sorprendente, facendola rimanere però semplice e veloce da preparare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
450 gr. rigatoni&lt;br /&gt;
2 melanzane&lt;br /&gt;
1 porro&lt;br /&gt;
1 spicchio di aglio&lt;br /&gt;
80 gr. pinoli&lt;br /&gt;
150 gr. pancetta cruda&lt;br /&gt;
pecorino grattuggiato&lt;br /&gt;
½  tazza di brodo&lt;br /&gt;
prezzemolo&lt;br /&gt;
5 cucchiai di olio di oliva.&lt;br /&gt;
sale&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lavate e pulite le melanzane e il porro e tagliate tutto a fette. Tagliate la pancetta a dadini. Tostate i pinoli. &lt;br /&gt;
In una padella fate scaldare l'olio e aggiungete lo spicchio di aglio schiacciato e il porro. Lasciate soffriggere per 5 minuti. Versate le melanzane, la pancetta e la tazza di brodo e fate cuocere per circa venti minuti, dopodiché togliete l'aglio e tenete al caldo.&lt;br /&gt;
Fate bollire circa due litri di acqua, salatela e versatevi dentro la pasta. Fate cuocere fino a che sia molto al dente. Scolatela e mettetela nella padella dove c'è il sugo, aggiungendo anche i pinoli. Fate cuocere per qualche minuto, spolverizzate con pecorino grattugiato e guarnite con un ciuffo di prezzemolo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;an a dish of pasta be light and tasty&lt;/i&gt; at the same time? &lt;br /&gt;
Yes, if you use fresh, seasonal vegetables, prepared with other ingredients that enhance their flavor and makes the recipe tasty and surprising, but still quick and easy to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 4 servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1 lb. rigatoni pasta (or similar)&lt;br /&gt;
2 aubergines&lt;br /&gt;
1 leek&lt;br /&gt;
1 garlic clove&lt;br /&gt;
½ cup pine nuts&lt;br /&gt;
5 oz. bacon&lt;br /&gt;
grated Pecorino cheese&lt;br /&gt;
½  cup meat stock&lt;br /&gt;
parsley&lt;br /&gt;
5 tablespoons olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
salt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Wash and clean aubergines and leek and slice them. Slice the bacon into cubes. Toast the pine nuts. &lt;br /&gt;
Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic clove, crushed, and the leek. Fry for 5 minutes. Place into aubergines, bacon and stock and cook for about twenty minutes, then remove the garlic and keep warm. &lt;br /&gt;
Boil about four pints of water, add some pinches of salt and pour in the pasta. Cook until it is very "al dente" (about 2 minutes less than recommended). Drain and place it in pan where the sauce is, adding pine nuts. Cook for a couple of minutes, sprinkle with grated Pecorino cheese and garnish with a sprig of parsley.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;uante volte vi avranno detto&lt;/i&gt; "fotografate col sole alle spalle!" oppure "mettiti al sole che ti devo fotografare!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A me tante, mettere il soggetto sotto la luce non sembra nemmeno una regola. Sembra una ovvietà. Eppure per questa foto che stavo inseguendo da due anni (sono le colline dietro casa mia) alla fine sono riuscito a fare finalmente una foto che mi piaceva fregandomene altamente: diaframma a f16, tempo 1/400, &lt;a href="http://www.clickblog.it/post/2591/cosa-sono-i-filtri-a-densita-neutra-graduale"&gt;filtro neutrale graduato&lt;/a&gt; ND4 per scurire il cielo e ho puntato direttamente contro il sole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La tecnica è importante, anzi fondamentale. Ma l'immagine è nei vostri occhi e nella vostra testa. E' quella che dovete inseguire.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ow many times people said to you&lt;/i&gt; "shoot with the sun behind! or "stay in the sun so I can take a picture of you!" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It happened a lot to me, putting the subject under the light isn't exactly a rule. It sounds like a truism. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet for this picture that I was chasing for two years (these are the hills behind my home) I managed to finally take a photo I liked not caring about it at all: aperture f16, time 1/400, &lt;a href="http://www.great-landscape-photography.com/graduated-filters.html"&gt;ND4 gradual neutral filter&lt;/a&gt; to darken the sky and I aimed the camera directly at the sun. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Technique is important, essential indeed. But the picture is in your eyes and in your mind. That is the one to chase.&lt;br /&gt;

Anche per il prossimo mese Food-0-grafia offre ai suoi lettori un calendario per il desktop, cioè uno sfondo per lo schermo del vostro computer con una foto di food e il calendario del mese in corso.&lt;br /&gt;
Per il calendario di ottobre ho scelto la foto delle "Carabaccia" la cui ricetta potete trovare in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/carabaccia-tuscan-onion-soup.html"&gt;questo post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Per impostare lo sfondo, cliccate sul link in fondo al post riportante la dimensione adatta al vostro schermo e, quando apparirà l'immagine, cliccando col tasto destro del mouse (o cliccando col mouse tenendo premuto il tasto ctrl per alcuni utenti Mac) sopra di essa selezionate "imposta come sfondo del desktop..." (o una frase simile a seconda del web browser che usate).&lt;br /&gt;

Also for the forthcoming month Food-o-grafia offers to its readers a desktop calendar, alas a wallpaper for your PC screen with a food photo and the calendar of the current month.&lt;br /&gt;
In the calendar for October I chose the photo of "Carabaccia, Tuscan Onion Soup" whose recipe you can found in &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/carabaccia-tuscan-onion-soup.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
To set the image as your desktop click on the link at the end of this post with the image dimensions that suit your PC screen and, after the image will load, right-click on it with your mouse (or press ctrl while clicking for some Mac users) and select "Set as Desktop Background..." (or something similar depending on the web browser you're using).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;olete provare a mangiare&lt;/i&gt; come Leonardo da Vinci? &lt;br /&gt;
No, non vi sto prendendo in giro. &lt;br /&gt;
Questa ricetta toscana ha infatti origini antichissime e sembra che il Genio rinascimentale, che era vegetariano, la apprezzasse sopra ogni altra cosa. Continuando a scorrere le fonti storiche che parlano della Carabaccia si apprende che il suo nome deriva dal greco "karabos" che indicava una barca a forma di guscio, il termine col tempo indicò anche l'utensile di cucina, simile alla zuppiera, dove questa ricetta veniva tradizionalmente cotta. &lt;br /&gt;
Caterina de'Medici, quando andò in sposa a Enrico II d'Orleans, la fece conoscere alla corte reale francese e da lì durante i secoli entrò nella tradizione culinaria d'oltralpe diventando la famosa "soupe d'oignons".&lt;br /&gt;
Raramente ho magnificato le ricette che ho presentato ma per questa farò una eccezione: è fantastica. &lt;br /&gt;
Non avete davvero scuse per non provarla considerato che è anche semplice da preparare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1 chilo di cipolle rosse o dorate.&lt;br /&gt;
4 cucchiai di olio d'oliva&lt;br /&gt;
1 tazza di brodo&lt;br /&gt;
4 cucchiai di mandorle macinate&lt;br /&gt;
½ cucchiaio di cannella&lt;br /&gt;
2 cucchiaini di miele&lt;br /&gt;
4 cucchiai di pecorino grattugiato&lt;br /&gt;
4 fette di pane toscano&lt;br /&gt;
burro&lt;br /&gt;
pepe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tagliate le cipolle in fette sottili. Mettetele ad appassire a fuoco basso in una pentola di coccio coperta con l'olio per circa 15 minuti. Aggiungete quindi il brodo, la cannella, il miele e le mandorle e lasciate cuocere per altri 20 minuti o fintanto che il brodo non sarà assorbito.&lt;br /&gt;
Nel mentre fate abbrustolire il pane unto col burro. Quando la zuppa sarà cotta versatela in quattro ciotole da forno su ognuna delle quali metterete una fetta di pane cosparsa con un cucchiaio di pecorino grattugiato.&lt;br /&gt;
Grigliatele nel forno per qualche minuto finché il formaggio non si sarà sciolto, cospargetele con qualche pizzico di pepe e servite a tavola.&lt;br /&gt;

No, I'm not kidding. &lt;br /&gt;
This traditional Tuscan recipe really has very old origins and it seems that the Renaissance genius, who was vegetarian, appreciated it above all else. &lt;br /&gt;
Continuing to browse through historical sources that speak of Carabaccia, we found that its name derives from the greek "karabos", indicating a shell-shaped boat: the term over time also indicated the kitchen utensil, similar to a bowl, where this recipe was traditionally cooked. &lt;br /&gt;
Caterina de Medici, when she married Henry II of Orleans, brought the recipe to the French royal court, and from there, over the centuries, it entered in the French culinary tradition becoming the famous "soupe d'oignons". &lt;br /&gt;
I rarely exalt the recipes that I submit but this time I'll make an exception: it is fantastic. &lt;br /&gt;
You really have no excuse to not try it since it is also easy to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 4 servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2¼ lb. red or golden onions&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup meat stock&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons almonds (minced)&lt;br /&gt;
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon &lt;br /&gt;
2 teaspoons honey&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons grated Pecorino cheese&lt;br /&gt;
4 slices Tuscan bread&lt;br /&gt;
butter&lt;br /&gt;
pepper&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cut the onions into thin slices. Put them to sauté with the olive oil in a covered earthenware pot on low heat for about 15 minutes. Add broth, cinnamon, honey and almonds and cook for other 20 minutes or until the broth is evaporated.&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile grease the bread with butter and toast it. When the soup is ready pour into four oven-proof bowls placing on each a slice of bread sprinkled with a tablespoon of grated Pecorino cheese. Grill in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted, sprinkle with some pepper and serve. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Immaginatevi con la vostra macchina fotografica in mano e il piatto che avete cucinato sul tavolo. Avete letto il mio &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/le-5-regole-base-della-fotografia-di.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; sulle 5 regole base della fotografia di food e siete proprio intenzionati di metterle in pratica.&lt;br /&gt;
Da dove iniziare? E la luce della finestra andrà bene? Come sistemo il piatto? A che altezza mi metto per scattare?&lt;br /&gt;
Queste domande sono le stesse che qualunque fotografo di food si chiede prima di iniziare uno scatto.&lt;br /&gt;
E poiché vedere vale mille parole voglio condividere con voi un video di un fotografo di food professionista americano, &lt;a href="http://www.buchananphotography.com/"&gt;Steve Buchanan&lt;/a&gt;, che mostra come ha allestito il set in una casa, con solo luce naturale a disposizione, e tutti i preparativi per lo scatto.&lt;br /&gt;
Non voglio spiegare tutto quello che vedrete adesso, concentratevi sul video e notate i particolari: sono mostrate cose veramente fondamentali e che tutti voi potrete usare per le vostre fotografie (non solo di food). &lt;br /&gt;
Provate a trovarle da soli prima, così che diventeranno subito &lt;b&gt;vostre&lt;/b&gt;, e poi fatemi tutte le domande che volete.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine yourself holding your camera and with the food you just cooked on the table. You did read my &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/09/le-5-regole-base-della-fotografia-di.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; on the 5 basic laws of food photography and you really want to put them at use.&lt;br /&gt;
But where to start? Is the window light good enough for the shooting? How I place the dish? At which height have I to place the camera?&lt;br /&gt;
These questions are the identical to the ones that every food photographer always ask to himself before shooting.&lt;br /&gt;
But since looking is more powerful than a thousand words I want to share with you a video by an US pro food photographer, &lt;a href="http://www.buchananphotography.com/"&gt;Steve Buchanan&lt;/a&gt;, which will show you how he built his set inside a house, with just natural light at disposal, and all the preparatory work needed to take a good food shot.&lt;br /&gt;
I don't want to explain now what you'll watch in the video, just look carefully at it and notice the details: some of them are really important tricks you can use in your own shooting (not just food related).&lt;br /&gt;
Try to find them without my help, so they'll soon become &lt;b&gt;your&lt;/b&gt; knowledge, and after this work ask me freely.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;hi fra di voi&lt;/i&gt;, in queste piovose sere di autunno, rinuncerebbe ad un dolce che scalda solo a vederlo e che è pure semplice da preparare? &lt;br /&gt;
Prima di dare la risposta leggete questa ricetta molto britannica che usa il whisky e che è una delizia per gli occhi e per il palato. &lt;br /&gt;
L'idea di unire il classico whisky cake scozzese alla salsa butterscotch (per chi non la conosce in Italia viene chiamata solitamente salsa mou) è venuta a Steve Pearce, cuoco e food stylist di Donna Hay, e la ho trovata in uno degli ultimi numeri della rivista. &lt;br /&gt;
Ho fatto una sola variante, usando il black treacle (cioè la melassa nera) per la salsa, così da darle un sapore di liquirizia ed evitare di farla diventare troppo dolce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
40 gr. di uva sultanina&lt;br /&gt;
30 ml. di whisky&lt;br /&gt;
130 gr. di zucchero di canna&lt;br /&gt;
200 gr. di farina tipo 0&lt;br /&gt;
1 cucchiaino di bicarbonato di soda&lt;br /&gt;
1 cucchiaio di lievito in polvere&lt;br /&gt;
2 uova&lt;br /&gt;
100 gr. di burro&lt;br /&gt;
60 gr. di panna acida&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per la salsa mou&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. di burro&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. di melassa nera (black treacle)&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. di zucchero di canna&lt;br /&gt;
125 ml. di panna&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparazione&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mettete a bagno nel whisky l'uva sultanina per una decina di minuti. In una ciotola capace versate la farina, setacciata, lo zucchero, il bicarbonato e il lievito e mischiate per bene. Fate sciogliere il burro e unitelo assieme alle uova, alla panna acida (o dello yogurt greco se non la avete) e all'uvetta, mescolate e versate il tutto nella ciotola. Impastate per bene in modo da avere un composto omogeneo col quale riempirete uno stampo per budini della capacità di 1 litro/1 litro e mezzo che avrete imburrato in precedenza. Fate cuocere nel forno a 160 gradi per circa 1 ora o finché l'interno del dolce sia ben cotto (fate la prova dello stecchino). Rovesciate il dolce su una teglia e fatelo raffreddare per 10 minuti prima di togliere lo stampo.&lt;br /&gt;
Per la salsa mettete il burro, la melassa, lo zucchero e la panna in un tegame e fate cuocere a fuoco moderato per circa 5 minuti, o finché non si sia rappresa a sufficienza, continuando mescolando in modo da evitare che si attacchi al tegame. Togliete dal fuoco e versatela ancora calda sul dolce prima di servirlo in tavola.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ho amidst you&lt;/i&gt;, in these rainy autumn evenings, would say no to a cake that warms your heart just looking at it and that is also easy to prepare? &lt;br /&gt;
Before answering please have a look at this whiskey flavored recipe of the British tradition that is a delight for the taste and the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
The idea of combining the classic Scottish whisky cake with the butterscotch sauce was from Steve Pearce, chef and food stylist of Donna Hay, and I found it in one of the latest issues of the magazine. &lt;br /&gt;
I made a single variant, using black treacle in the sauce, just to give a licorice flavor and avoid it to become too sweet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for 4 servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
¼ cup sultanas&lt;br /&gt;
⅛ cup whiskey&lt;br /&gt;
¾ cup brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;
1⅜ cup all purpose flour&lt;br /&gt;
1 coffee spoon baking soda&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon baking powder&lt;br /&gt;
2 eggs&lt;br /&gt;
3¼ oz. butter&lt;br /&gt;
¼ cup sour cream&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the butterscotch sauce&lt;br /&gt;
1¾ oz. butter&lt;br /&gt;
½ cup double cream&lt;br /&gt;
¼ cup black treacle&lt;br /&gt;
¼ cup brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Soak raisins in whiskey for about ten minutes. Place in a bowl the flour, sifted, sugar, baking soda and baking powder and mix well. Melt the butter and add it together with eggs, sour cream and  raisins, stir and pour into the bowl. Mix well to combine in a smooth mixture and pour into a greased bundt tin of about 5-6 cup capacity. Heat the oven 320F and cook for about 1 hour or until the inside of the cake is well cooked. Turn the cake on a cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes before removing the bundt. &lt;br /&gt;
To prepare the sauce place the butter, treacle, sugar and cream in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until has thickened enough, continuing to stir to prevent sticking to the pan. Remove from heat and pour the sauce, still warm, over the cake before serving it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ho già scritto in vari post (&lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/05/fotografia-di-food-illuminazione-food.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/05/fotografia-di-food-illuminazione-food_12.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/08/fotografia-di-food-la-luce-food.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;) di fotografia di food, soprattutto in relazione all'uso della luce.&lt;br /&gt;
Ma con questo post voglio proprio partire dalle basi, cioè dai fattori indispensabili per produrre una immagine di food che, anche se non professionale, riesca a trasmettere la bontà del piatto che avete preparato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Usate una macchina fotografica reflex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fregatevene di quello che dicono le varie pubblicità, recensioni di riviste, negozianti, conoscenti, eccetera. Anche la più bella e costosa macchina fotografica compatta &lt;b&gt;non è adatta&lt;/b&gt; a scattare immagini di food. Un fotografo esperto magari riuscirebbe anche a far uscire qualcosa di decente capendo come usarla in modo manuale ma voi non siete fotografi esperti sennò non stareste leggendo questo post. Non buttate via dei soldi e lasciate perdere.&lt;br /&gt;
Non c'è bisogno di spendere una fortuna&amp;nbsp; per comprare una macchina reflex. Se dovete fare delle foto da mettere su internet non avete bisogno dell'ultimo modello con 16 megapixel e il nuovo microprocessore "UltramegaIII".&lt;br /&gt;
Con modelli nuovi che escono ogni qualche mese è facile che troviate ottime reflex digitali che solo un paio di anni fa venivano considerate quasi professionali ad un prezzo con cui non ci comprate nemmeno una nuova compattina di fascia media. Fate un giro su eBay cercando le reflex digitali usate e guardate i prezzi che girano per farvi un'idea ma andate anche a sentire i negozianti vicino a voi.&lt;br /&gt;
Considerate che qualsiasi reflex digitale è comunque una buona macchina ed è raro che il precedente proprietario l'abbia "sfruttata" fino in fondo proprio per l'obsolescenza veloce che hanno ma che a voi &lt;b&gt;non interessa&lt;/b&gt;. A voi &lt;b&gt;interessa il risultato&lt;/b&gt;, non farvi belli con gli amici fotoamatori o i clienti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Usate un obiettivo con focale fissa&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Un obiettivo con focale fissa significa che avrete sempre lo stesso angolo di campo in ripresa.&lt;br /&gt;
Ma come fate allora a fotografare un soggetto in modo che sia più vicino o lontano?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Usate i vostri piedi!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Siete nella vostra cucina e basta un passo per avvicinarvi o allontanarvi quanto basta per avere l'inquadratura desiderata.&lt;br /&gt;
Lasciate perdere gli zoom, quelli inclusi nei "kit" della macchina reflex che avrete comprato sono solitamente di bassa qualità, quelli buoni costano, tanto, e &lt;b&gt;non vi servono&lt;/b&gt; per fotografare il food. Basta un 50 mm f1.8 che costa sui 100 euro usato per avere tutto quello di cui avete bisogno per iniziare. E anche per fare tante bellissime foto in altre occasioni: gli zoom sono stati inventati negli anni '70 e prima ci sono stati centinaia di fotografi che sono diventati dei celebrati artisti usando solo un 50 mm..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Usate la macchina in modalità manuale&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Quando avrete tra le mani la vostra macchina reflex non fatevi intimidire da tutti i pulsanti che vedrete. Leggetevi il manuale di istruzioni ma soprattutto imparate ad usare la macchina in modalità manuale. Non fate che sia lei a pensare per voi.&lt;br /&gt;
Le macchine fotografiche sono programmate per fare foto decenti in situazioni standard. &lt;b&gt;La fotografia di food non è una situazione standard!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Imparate i quattro principi fondamentali della fotografia: tempi, diaframmi, sensibilità del sensore (o pellicola) e fuoco. Ci sono tantissime informazioni anche qui su internet senza comprare costosi manuali, fate una ricerca con "diaframma tempi" e avrete subito decine di link, la maggior parte dei quali di qualità.&lt;br /&gt;
In breve la logica è comunque la seguente: più il tempo di esposizione è lungo più entra luce e quindi la fotografia sarà più luminosa. Più il diaframma è chiuso più avrete parte dell'immagine a fuoco ma entrerà meno luce e quindi l'immagine sarà più buia. Più il sensore (o la pellicola) è sensibile (è un valore esponenziale espresso in ISO: 100-200-400-800 e così via) più catturerà luce a scapito però della qualità dell'immagine.&lt;br /&gt;
Voi avete un soggetto, cioè il food, che ha un grosso vantaggio: &lt;b&gt;non si muove&lt;/b&gt;! Quindi la procedura da seguire è la seguente: usate la sensibilità più bassa che la vostra macchina consente (di solito è ISO 100), aprite completamente il diaframma, mettete a fuoco il punto dell'immagine che volete sia nitido, chiudete il diaframma a seconda di quanto volete che l'immagine sia nitida o meno attorno a quel punto, scegliete il tempo che vi permette di avere una fotografia con una esposizione corretta, cioè che appare ben illuminata. Non fidatevi ciecamente degli esposimetri, fate delle prove e confrontate i risultati. In pochissimo tempo sarete in grado di giudicare l'esposizione giusta. &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Fondamentale è usare un cavalletto.&lt;/b&gt; E' un'altra piccola spesa ma che vi permetterà di usare tempi lunghi senza che le foto vengano mosse.&lt;br /&gt;
Per concludere fregatevene dei 100 pulsanti e pensate a solo queste quattro cose: tempi, diaframmi, sensibilità, fuoco. Ripetetevelo come un mantra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Usate le finestre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Talvolta vedo dei blog o persino dei siti professionali dove viene il dubbio che chi ha fatto le foto abiti nelle catacombe o in qualche buia cantina.&lt;br /&gt;
Non c'è bisogno di avere un impianto luci da fotografo professionista per fare delle belle foto di food. Tutto quello che basta è avere &lt;b&gt;una finestra luminosa&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Lasciate perdere le foto di notte, con la luce delle lampadine o peggio. Aspettate piuttosto di avere un poco di tempo durante il giorno, mettete il vostro piatto vicino alla finestra, di solito davanti o appena a lato, tirate una tenda bianca se la luce è troppo diretta in modo che diventi più morbida e diffusa e avrete già una ottima illuminazione.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Una brutta foto rovina una bella ricetta&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ricordatevi che siete su internet, non nella vostra cucina. In una pagina scritta &lt;b&gt;non si sentono né odori né sapori&lt;/b&gt;. Si può leggere ma, soprattutto, si &lt;b&gt;guardano le immagini&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Spendete ore a preparare un piatto, con amore e passione, e poi vi accontentate di una immagine inguardabile che lo svillaneggia? E se mi dite che conta la sostanza allora perché non scrivete solo la ricetta evitando di rovinarla con una foto non all'altezza?&lt;br /&gt;
Da appassionato di gastronomia vi assicuro che è meglio, fra i miei libri di cucina preferiti alcuni non hanno nemmeno una foto.&lt;br /&gt;
Ma se volete invece trasmettere la bontà delle vostre preparazioni, catturando l'attenzione del lettore, dovete pensare che le immagini con le quali le presentate sono fondamentali: &lt;b&gt;siete voi&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
I piatti che rappresentano&amp;nbsp; voi e la vostra passione devono essere piacevoli e gustosi da guardare. E quindi dovete spendere tempo e un po' di soldi per cercare di mostrarle al meglio. Io scriverò altri post su questo blog che vi insegneranno come riuscire a produrre delle foto di food sempre migliori, ma il tempo, la passione e la costanza per raggiungere dei risultati le dovrete mettere voi, non ci sono scorciatoie.&lt;br /&gt;
Capisco che non tutti hanno tanto tempo libero per imparare a fotografare, è ovvio, ma quello che è scusabile per chi fa cucina solo per passione (ma vale sempre la logica del meglio niente che brutto) non lo è per chi si propone professionalmente.&lt;br /&gt;
Brutte foto dei vostri piatti danno l'impressione a chi le vede di mancanza di cura nel vostro lavoro: servireste la vostra cucina in piatti sbrecciati, con un cameriere con i vestiti sporchi e in un ambiente con l'intonaco a pezzi? Se la risposta è no, chiamate un fotografo di food professionista che vi aiuti. Non costiamo tanto.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I already wrote in various posts (&lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/05/fotografia-di-food-illuminazione-food.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/05/fotografia-di-food-illuminazione-food_12.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.foodografia.com/2009/08/fotografia-di-food-la-luce-food.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) about food photography, particularly about lighting.&lt;br /&gt;
In this post I start with the basics, ie the things needed to produce a picture that, although not professional, is able to convey the goodness of the food that you prepared. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Use an SLR camera &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Don't listen  to ads, magazine reviews, shopkeepers, acquaintances, and so on. Even the most beautiful and expensive compact camera &lt;b&gt;is not suitable&lt;/b&gt; for taking pictures of food. An expert photographer might be able to pull out something decent from it, understanding how to use it in manual mode, but you're not an expert otherwise you would not read this post. Do not throw away money. &lt;br /&gt;
You don't need to spend a fortune to buy a digital SLR camera. If you want to take some pictures to be displayed on internet you do not need the latest model with 16 megapixels and the new UltramegaIII microprocessor. &lt;br /&gt;
With new models coming out every few months is very likely to find good digital SLR cameras that were considered almost professional just a couple of years ago and at a price less than a new midrange compact camera. Make a search on eBay for used digital SLR cameras so to have a look at the prices but go also to visit the shops near to you. &lt;br /&gt;
Consider that any digital SLR is still a good camera and it is rare that the previous owner "exploited" it to death because of its quick obsolescence. But &lt;b&gt;you do not care of obsolescence&lt;/b&gt;. You are &lt;b&gt;interested in the outcome&lt;/b&gt;, not to show off your camera to photo enthusiastic friends or customers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;2. Use a fixed focal length lens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A lens with a fixed focal length (also called "prime" lens) means that you always shoot with the same angle of view. &lt;br /&gt;
But how can you shoot a subject to make it look closer or farther?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Use your feet!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You are in your kitchen and just one step closer or farther away is enough to get the shot you want.&lt;br /&gt;
Forget zooms, the ones included in the the reflex camera kits are usually of poor quality, while the good ones cost money, a lot, and you &lt;b&gt;do not need them&lt;/b&gt; to shoot food. Get just a 50 mm f1.8 which costs about $100 used and you have everything you need to get started. And you can also take with it a lot of beautiful photos on other occasions: zooms were invented in the 70s and before that time hundreds of photographers became celebrated artists using only a 50mm. lens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Use the camera in manual mode&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When you have a SRL camera in your hands do not be intimidated by all the buttons you see. Read the instruction manual, but above all learn to use the camera in manual mode. Do not allow the camera thinking for you. &lt;br /&gt;
Modern cameras are programmed to take decent pictures in standard situations. Food photography &lt;b&gt;is not a standard situation&lt;/b&gt;!  &lt;br /&gt;
Learn the four basic principles of photography: shutter speed (also called exposure time), aperture, sensitivity of the sensor (or film) and focus. There is a huge quantity of information here on the internet about them without buying expensive books, make a search with "aperture shutter speeds" and you'll soon have dozens of links to browse, most of which are of excellent quality. &lt;br /&gt;
In short the logic is the following: the longer is the exposure time the more light enters in the camera and the more the picture will be brighter. The more the aperture is closed the more part of the image will be in focus but the less light will enter the camera and then the picture will be darker and darker. The more the sensor (or film) is sensitive (sensitivity is a value expressed in exponential ISO speeds: 100-200-400-800, and so on) the more it captures the light that enters the camera at expense of image quality. &lt;br /&gt;
You have a subject, namely the food, which has a big advantage:&lt;b&gt; it doesn't move&lt;/b&gt;! So the procedure is as follows: set the lowest sensitivity that your camera allows (usually ISO 100), set the aperture wide open, focus the point of the image that you want to be the sharpest, close the aperture depending on how much you want the image sharp around the focus point, choose the time that allows you to take a photo with a proper exposure, alas that is well lit. Do not blindly trust the light meter, experiment and compare the results. In no time you'll be able to judge the correct exposure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Using a tripod is a must&lt;/b&gt;. It's another little expense but it will allow you to use long exposure times without shaking the camera.  &lt;br /&gt;
At the very end don't care about the 100 buttons of the camera and care only about these four things: exposure time, aperture, sensitivity, focus. Repeat it like a mantra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;4. Use window light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I browse some blogs or even some professional sites where I have the suspect that those who took the pictures live in catacombs or in some dark cellars. &lt;br /&gt;
You do not need to have a lighting system like the ones used by professional photographers to take good pictures of food. All you need to have is just some &lt;b&gt;bright window light&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
Forget to take pictures at night, with light bulbs or worse. Rather wait to have a little time when there's daylight available, put your plate next to a window, usually just before it or at the side, pull a white tent if the light is too direct so that it becomes softer and more spread and you already have excellent lighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. An ugly photo ruins a tasty recipe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You have to remember that you are on the internet, not in your kitchen. In a written page &lt;b&gt;there's no flavor or taste&lt;/b&gt;. People can read you recipe but most of the time they look at the pictures first.&lt;br /&gt;
So you spend hours preparing some great recipe, with all your love and passion, and then you settle for a terrible picture that makes look the food inedible? Please, don't tell me that just the culinary content is really important, why did you not just write the recipe then without ruining it with a photo that is not up to it?&lt;br /&gt;
Talking as a food enthusiast I can assure you that it is better not having pictures than using ugly ones: some of my favorite cookbooks do not display any picture.&lt;br /&gt;
If you instead want to show the goodness of your culinary dishes, capturing the attention of the viewer, you have to realize that pictures are of fundamental importance: &lt;b&gt;they depict you&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
The culinary creations that represent you and your passion have to look good and tasty. So you have to spend time and a little money to try to show them the best you can. I will write more posts on this blog that will teach you how to succeed in producing pictures of food better and better. But time, passion and persistence to achieve results are up to you, there are no shortcuts.&lt;br /&gt;
I understand of course that not everyone has lot of free time to learn how to properly take food pictures but what is excusable for amateurs bloggers (but the logic is always better nothing than ugly) it is not for those who intend to be professionals.&lt;br /&gt;
Ugly photos of your culinary dishes give the impression of a lack of care in your work: would you serve food to your customers in chipped dishes in a spoiled room, maybe using a waiter with dirty clothes? If the answer is no, call a professional food photographer to help you. We do not cost that much.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;el post di oggi &lt;/i&gt;ci dirigiamo oltre le Alpi con un semifreddo che ho trovato in un ricettario francese, ma che comunque usa un altro simbolo dell'Italia: il caffè espresso.&lt;br /&gt;
Come al solito, mi conoscete oramai, sono pigro e soprattutto pasticcione, la preparazione è molto semplice ma anche qui c'è un piccolo trucco. &lt;br /&gt;
Quante volte avete infatti brontolato (usando un eufemismo) perché il semifreddo messo a congelare nello stampino di metallo non voleva saperne di uscire quando era il momento di servirlo in tavola? &lt;br /&gt;
E allora a scaldarlo in acqua tiepida o altri sistemi col risultato, che una volta rovesciato sul piatto di portata, la metà era sciolta e l'altra metà ancora ghiacciata. E diciamocelo, non è un bel modo di presentarlo agli ospiti.&lt;br /&gt;
Se invece noi "foderiamo" con del cotone sottile o della garza l'interno dello stampino e ci avvolgiamo il nostro semifreddo, quando è pronto basta tenerlo qualche attimo fuori dal freezer e si riesce a estrarlo ancora tutto bello intero con la sua forma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ngredienti per 4 semifreddi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;250 gr. di crema di formaggio (Philadelphia o simili)&lt;br /&gt;
250 ml. di panna&lt;br /&gt;
4 cucchiai di caffè espresso&lt;br /&gt;
90 gr. di zucchero&lt;br /&gt;
100 gr. di cacao in polvere&lt;br /&gt;
50 gr. di burro&lt;br /&gt;
latte&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;reparazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Preparate quattro stampini e foderateli con cotone sottile o garza, lasciando abbastanza tessuto per poi avvolgere anche il fondo.&lt;br /&gt;
Mettete la crema di formaggio in un recipiente e sbattetela con una frusta e un goccio di latte per renderla morbida, versate quindi la panna continuando a sbattere in modo da avere un composto abbastanza sodo ma cremoso.&lt;br /&gt;
Aggiungete quindi il caffè e lo zucchero e amalgamate il tutto. Versate negli stampini e chiudeteli con la stoffa. &lt;br /&gt;
Mettete in freezer per almeno 2 ore, quindi preparate la glassa facendo sciogliere il burro a fuoco bassissimo e aggiungendo via via il cacao fino a formare una crema. Nel mentre che la glassa si raffredda un poco, togliete i cremini dal freezer, estraeteli dagli stampini e rimuovete la stoffa che li avvolge. Metteteli ognuno sul loro piattino e versate sopra la glassa di cacao appena prima di portarli in tavola.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img height="32" width="627" src="http://www.alessandroguerani.com/bl/divisor01.png"  /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;n this post&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;we travel over the Alps with a parfait that I found in a French cookbook but that uses another Italian symbol: espresso coffee.&lt;br /&gt;
You know me, I'm lazy and messy, so the preparation is very simple as usual but it uses another little trick.&lt;br /&gt;
How many times did you grumble (using a euphemism) because the parfait, that you put into a metal mold to get frozen, didn't want to come out when it's time to serve it? &lt;br /&gt;
So you heat it in warm water, or use other similar methods, with the result that, once upside down on the serving plate, half of it is completely melted and the other half still icy. Let's face it, this is not a nice way to present it to guests. &lt;br /&gt;
If instead we line the inside of the molds with thin muslin or gauze and we wrap with it completely the parfait, when it'll be ready you just have to keep it a few moments out of the freezer and you'll be able to extract it easily from the mold retaining a perfect shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ngredients for 4 servings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;9 oz. cream cheese&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup double cream&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons of espresso coffee (or other very strong coffee)&lt;br /&gt;
½ cup superfine sugar&lt;br /&gt;
3½ oz. powdered cocoa &lt;br /&gt;
1¾ oz. butter &lt;br /&gt;
milk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;reparation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Prepare four molds lining the inside with thin muslin, leave enough fabric to wrap the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
Put the cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a bit of milk to make smooth, pour the cream continuing to beat so to have a mixture quite hard but creamy. &lt;br /&gt;
Add the coffee and sugar and mix well together. Pour into the molds and seal completely with the fabric.&lt;br /&gt;
Put in the freezer for at least 2 hours, after that time prepare the glaze by melting the butter at low heat and gradually adding cocoa until you got a cream.&lt;br /&gt;
While the glaze cools a bit, remove the crémets from the freezer, remove them from the molds and peel out the fabric. Put each one on its plate and pour over the cocoa glaze just before you serve.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6389670005598507867-9043998802473231025?l=www.foodografia.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;n Italia&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;probabilmente ogni persona&lt;/i&gt; ha la sua ricetta per preparare il sugo di pomodoro con cui condire la pasta: chi si ricorda ancora quella imparata dalla mamma quando era bimbo; chi usa quella propagandata da qualche chef più o meno famoso; chi spaccia la sua come la famosa e segretissima ricetta trasmessagli dalla nonna Gertrude in punto di morte.    &lt;br /&gt;
La mia è semplicemente un affinamento del sugo che ho dovuto imparare a fare fin da quando ho iniziato a vivere da solo perché dovevo pur mangiare qualcosa. Nel tempo è variata via via con varie aggiunte e suggerimenti di amici e conoscenti, come per esempio il timo che assaggiai per la prima volta nel sugo della moglie di un mio amico e da quel momento ha soppiantato il più comune origano.&lt;br /&gt;
Insomma, è una ricetta senza pretese e piuttosto semplice da preparare, l'aggiunta dei pomodorini in fine è opzionale e consigliata solo se uno ne trova di freschi e saporiti.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;ngredienti per due persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;250 gr. di spaghetti     &lt;br /&gt;
800 gr. di pomodori (preferibilmente San Marzano)     &lt;br /&gt;
200 gr. di pomodorini     &lt;br /&gt;
1 cipolla     &lt;br /&gt;
2 foglie di basilico     &lt;br /&gt;
1 rametto di timo     &lt;br /&gt;
3 spicchi di aglio     &lt;br /&gt;
olio d'oliva     &lt;br /&gt;
sale&lt;br /&gt;
pecorino grattuggiato&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;reparazione      &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Pelate i pomodori e lasciateli spurgare per un'oretta almeno dalla loro acqua, oppure, se in scatola, scolateli bene. Scaldate a fiamma bassa l'olio in un tegame di coccio. Quando è caldo mettete gli spicchi d'aglio schiacciati e lasciateli finché non prendono colore, dopodiché toglieteli stando attenti che non brucino.     &lt;br /&gt;
Versate quindi nell'olio la cipolla tritata grossolanamente, fatela soffriggere per un paio di minuti e aggiungete i pomodori assieme al basilico e al timo.     &lt;br /&gt;
Fate cuocere a fuoco basso, salando un poco (odio i sughi "dolci"), finché tutta l'umidità dei pomodori non si sia assorbita.     &lt;br /&gt;
Se volete aggiungere i pomodorini, tagliateli a metà e fateli sbollentare in un filo di acqua salata. Non fateli spappolare se, come me, li preferite con ancora un po' di consistenza, piuttosto scolateli dall'acqua rimasta e aggiungeteli al resto del sugo.     &lt;br /&gt;
Fate cuocere gli spaghetti in abbondante acqua salata. Quando l'acqua bolle aggiungete un cucchiaio di olio e versateli dentro, abbassando un poco la fiamma. Scolateli molto al dente e versateli in una padella bassa assieme al sugo, facendo insaporire il tutto per un minuto o due.&lt;br /&gt;
Servite in tavola la pasta cosparsa di pecorino grattuggiato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img height="32" width="627" src="http://www.alessandroguerani.com/bl/divisor02.png"  /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;very person in Italy probably&lt;/i&gt; has his recipe for the tomato sauce used to dress pasta: some people still remember what they learned from their mother when they were children; other use those promoted by some more or less famous chef; others tell tall stories about the famous and most secret one handed down by&amp;nbsp; grandmother Gertrude at her time of dying.&lt;br /&gt;
Mine is simply a refinement of the sauce that I had to learn to prepare when I started living alone because I had to eat something. Over the time it has been varied due to numerous additions from experience and suggestions from friends, for example I use thyme since I tasted it for the first time in the sauce prepared by a friend's wife in place of the more common oregano.     &lt;br /&gt;
In short it is a unpretentious recipe and quite easy to prepare, the addition of cherry tomatoes at the end is optional and recommended only if you can find some fresh and tasty.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;ngredients for two servings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;½lb. spaghetti     &lt;br /&gt;
1¾ lbs. tomatoes (preferably San Marzano kind)     &lt;br /&gt;
½lb. cherry tomatoes     &lt;br /&gt;
1 onion     &lt;br /&gt;
2 basil leaves     &lt;br /&gt;
1 sprig of thyme     &lt;br /&gt;
3 cloves of garlic     &lt;br /&gt;
olive oil     &lt;br /&gt;
salt     &lt;br /&gt;
grated pecorine cheese&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;reparation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;Peel the tomatoes and let drain for an hour at least so to remove some of their water, or, if canned, drain well. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil over low heat in a earthenware pan.    &lt;br /&gt;
When the oil is hot put into the cloves of crushed garlic and let wither until browned, take off after being careful not to burn. Pour in coarsely chopped onion and brown for a couple of minutes, add then tomatoes with basil and thyme.    &lt;br /&gt;
Cook over low heat, adding a little salt (I hate "sweet" sauces), until all the moisture of the tomatoes will be evaporated.    &lt;br /&gt;
If you want to add the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half and cook in a bit of salted water avoiding to crush if you, like me, prefer them still whole. When ready, drain and add to the sauce.&lt;br /&gt;
Cook the spaghetti in salted water. When the water boils, add a tablespoon of oil and pour pasta inside, lowering the heat a bit. Cook pasta "al dente", drain and pour into a large non stick frying pan together with sauce for a minute or two. &lt;br /&gt;
Serve pasta sprinkled with grated pecorino cheese.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6389670005598507867-5170852571863160477?l=www.foodografia.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Ecco, per il restyling di questo blog, proprio per inesperienza e ignoranza della materia, non ho seguito questa logica e il risultato era sì decente, ma più lo guardavo, più non lo sentivo mio.&lt;br /&gt;
Insomma, non mi piaceva per nulla.&lt;br /&gt;
Alla fine mi sono preso un'altra settimana di tempo e ho rifatto tutto da capo a piedi, fregandomene se non è bello, trendy o "ergonomico", ma solo seguendo il mio gusto.&lt;br /&gt;
Magari il nuovo "tema" di questo blog sarà la più grande schifezza del mondo, ma però è mio.&lt;br /&gt;
Cercate di sopportarlo ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S.: e ora si torna a cucinare e a fotografare!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you remember when I talked about photography and how you need to know the technique inside and out, hear the experts' opinion and study other photographers' shots, but at the very end you must throw this all behind your back and just shoot as you like, because otherwise the result is "soulless"?&lt;br /&gt;
For the restyling of this blog, out of inexperience and ignorance, I forgot to follow the logic above and the result was decent indeed, but the more I looked at it, the more it didn't grow on me.&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I did not like it at all actually.&lt;br /&gt;
I then spent another week to remade it from scratch, not caring if it wouldn't be nice, trendy or "ergonomic," but just following my taste.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe the new "theme" of this blog is just a huge crap, but a crap I can call mine.&lt;br /&gt;
Please, put up with it ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S.: and now finally I can go back to cook and shoot!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6389670005598507867-6983416124773757909?l=www.foodografia.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
