All of the presents have been unwrapped, and hopefully all of the stomachs have recovered from the multiple meals that have been eaten over the last few days. I know mine is still full, partly due to the wonderful desserts created by My Lovely Assistant. Here is her Christmas Eve dessert. A Yule Log made with mascarpone cheese, chocolate and raspberries, while topped with cranberries and crushed pistachios and completed with gingerbread Christmas trees. As is the usual case, I made us a little bit late to the party by taking several photographs of her handy work. The first one was taken at f/2.8, 160sec, ISO 1600 at 60mm. Here are a few more.
f/5, 1/250sec, ISO 100 at 24mm
f/4, 1/125sec, ISO 100 at 38mm
I took some with flash, which works well on the close-up, but my favourite shot would be the first shot without flash, which allowed more of the Christmas tree lights to be seen. To achieve that one, My Lovely Assistant ended up standing on a chair with a white cardboard to reflect some of the kitchen lights onto her cake. Head Chef and Lovely Assistant, her holiday work schedule was full, almost as full the bellies of those who ate her wonderful dessert.
