Better food shots (BFS) - Pasta

The first day of 2009... My sister was at home and helped my mother in getting a good meal for alla of us.

After some starters we fasted on a good portion of pasta with "besciamella" and steamed ham.
Really good.

My sister helped me in composing the shot... but I had to change the whita balance in PP as it was not good...

And the lightray shines through

This is one of my preferred shots (I hope it is the right one to inaugurate this last stint in my photoblogging^_^)... In a cloudy day while I was looking at the bagnoli's and puteoli's gulf... I see this heavenly shot...

It is enhanced by the fast shutter speed that gives more contrast to the light rays making all things darker...
