Hi Nadia,

It sounds like you’re shoot with a digital SLR? If so, you likely need to white balance for this shot. If you’ve never done it before, find white balance in your manual, shoot a piece of white paper once, select that as your white balance for these pictures. Then go ahead and shoot. This will hopefully clear it all up.

I hope this helps, and I’m so happy you liked the cake!

hi Laura,
i baked this caked and turned out great, different texture and amazing taste. I didnt get good photographs however, does the orange hue has something to do with it? i used day light coming from left reflecting from white sheet, all my pics use same light but this was awful, i want to click it before it is eaten :( please help soon.

First let me say what amazing photos!!! Hopefully one day when I grow up (he he) I will be able to take awesome photos like you! I am new to this, so taking notes and will just keep trying! In the meantime thanks for the inspiration!

I have seen lemon loaves but this got my attention for sure! I think this might be a weekend breakfast surprise for the husband!!! He'll love it with a nice cappuccino!

Thanks for sharing and love the blog!!!

Hi Coleen,

Definitely not a trade secret. I'm always willing to share information!

This one was shot with morning sunlight under a covered porch. Because the light wasn’t prime yet, I bracketed the shot and overexposed it by a half step.

I shoot under all kinds of lights: studio, high contrast sun and man-made, diffuse, dark, different light temperatures... They all use different techniques, but all are interesting and a challenge in themselves. Some people like to shoot the same way every time, but you lose so many interesting perspectives by only shooting one way.

I hope that helps, although I know it’s just the beginning.

What a great recipe! How do you get so much light in your photos? I see a chair in the back of the cake, so I assume you are not using a light box. How do you do it? (or is it a trade secret)

Beautiful, just beautiful! I assume that it was just as delicious and flavorful with regular oranges!And I just dare you not to touch this cake before the second day! We are going through a low period in my house where my men are turned OFF by anything I bake these days (they complain that I bake too often!), but this cake disappeared in record time! Thanks for making it!
