Where would Easter be without chocolate-smothered snacks sweet enough to resurrect the dead. These Gü 'Naughties' are made of biscuit, marshmallow, cherries and raisins... all held together by caramel, chocolate and utter temptation.

Gear: Canon 400D, Canon 50, Canon 430 EXII, Cactus V4

Setup: Placed inside canvas light box with flash fired directly above. Silver card used to reflect light to the front.

Whatever biscuit/cake you're eating, make sure you have a decent coffee to go with it!

Gear: Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70

Setup: No setup, this was a quick shot taken on my kitchen worktop with natural daylight.

Cream Donut

Bought from a cake shop less than a minute walk from where I live. It's always chaos on weekend mornings, full of sugar-crazed zombies trying to grab the last of the fresh cream cakes.

Gear: Canon 400D, Canon 50, Canon 430 EXII

Setup: Placed inside canvas light box with red background. Corded flash fired front/left.

Triple chocolate muffin, because you really can't go wrong with anything that contains the words, "triple chocolate".

Gear: Canon 400D, Canon 50, Canon 430 EXII

Setup: Placed inside canvas light box with a black background, corded flash was fired above/left. Photoshop used to darken the background and bottom edge.

Chocolate Orange

Organic dark chocolate biscuit with ginger and orange. Apparently baked in Scotland on the banks of the River Spey... which is a long way to come to reach my belly.

Gear: Canon 400D, Canon 50

Setup: Closeup shot taken of the wounded biscuit to get the bite mark, the rest of the image created in Photoshop.

Viennese Whirl

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:49 +0100

A plain Viennese Whirl top without the jam or cream to keep it company. Is this a crime?

Gear: Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70

Setup: Placed inside canvas light box with blue background. The blue in the background was smoothed out in Photoshop to create the desktop.

Welcome to Between Biscuits, a photoblog tracking the crumbly victims that are slaughtered for the greater good. There's not much to see here at the moment, apart from a cookie jar which is looking decidedly unwell. I'll soon be posting up photos of the biscuits that spend their brief existence in this jar... along with a matching wallpaper, like this one, should you wish to treat your desktop to a snack.
