Yesterday I ran a fun foto contest. Here’s how.
I uploaded a photo to Facebook and then asked people to guess how I took the photo. The winner got a full-size copy of the image plus, in this case, the recipe to the food that I photographed.
Look at the picture and see if you can guess how I took the photo, where, when, what light sources and camera settings were used.
Good luck!
Here are the Facebook comments and the answer:

Rob Darby And, since this is the first contest, I’m giving away my delicious grilled salmon recipe for free! Grilled Salmon with potato salad recipe
Salmon: Grill four salted salmon steaks over hot charcoal for 10-12 minutes, turning once. I added some large oak chips to the colas to add a smokey flavor. I also closed the lid for extra smoke flavor.
Potato salad: I bought some ready-made potato salad from the grocery store and added my own boiled potatoes, fresh dill and a bit of apple cider vinegar to add bulk and save some money.
Garnish: lemon and tomato wedges.
Drunk: Goes great with black current leaf saft.
