Someone else started posting photos of food, the pictures looked so appetizing that I just had to wade in. Let me start with the menu:
Let’s set the table.
The photos here are just for fun. As such no elaborate efforts were employed, not even a tripod. When flash was used, it was on-camera flash, with just a paper napkin as a diffuser in one of the shots.
Mind you, my dear reader, Café Ludwig is a blog, not a place to eat, so, no reservations, please.

How about spaghetti tonight? With a pleasant little chianti? Or maybe a chicken curry? Just a sandwich, perhaps? Or a “hurricane” dish – pantry food!

Oh, my, I used the same placement in two photos. Microsoft Word 2010 “Picture Tools” to the rescue:
The Background Remover needed just a little help around the plate – maybe a couple of minutes at most were spent on “lifting” the plate. A rectangle shape with a texture fill serves as the new placemat.
Using Picture Tools provides so many artistic effects that I couldn’t help playing with my food:
How about a couple of posters for Café Ludwig?
Ready for dessert?

Just one “fruit-on-the-bottom” pudding – all these artistic affects – you have also seen a version in the banner at the top. Microsoft Word 2010 shares these “Picture Tools” with Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010. Always handy when you want to play around with your photos – or your food. The banner was made only partially in Word, the capital letters were customized in Paint.
Bon appétit !
