Using make up wedges

Both pictures were taken on a Nikon 3000 camera and a 55-200mm lens.  The trick to this photograph was the use of the make up wedges that were used to give the croissant the height. In turn making the roll look bigger.  That was about the only trick to these pictures other than cropping them.  The top picture was done with out any cropping,  Where as the second picture was cropped to the rule of thirds.  Shifting the center of interest to a more pleasing angle.  Both pictures would sell,  But the bottom one is more correct.  The other trick to the picture was to get the butter to melt.  Which was a simple trick of using a kitchen torch to melt the butter.  Both pictures are © by Michael Long 2013
