While sipping some Valpolicella, I was going to review the recent photos taken in Venice. Instead, I was browsing photos of a mid-day barbecue taken in Singapore last October.
My Valpolicella-fueled brain decided to use an Agfa APX 25 film simulation, with some inspiration from Daido Moriyama.
Here are the results:
Aperol Spritz
Milk please for the little one
Garlic bread
Salted beef

Aha! A ‘glass’ with my name on it! What a shame I am not allowed to drink it. I like the film simulation. What software did you use?
That’s what “A” stands for in “AB” 😉 You can make your own with Spanish cava or txakoli when you’re in Barcelona. Just need to pick up some Aperol at the airport duty-free shop!
It’s my usual photo-processing tools: Starting with Raw Photo Processor (www.raw-photo-processor.com) to convert the RAW files to Tiff, then I played around with the contrast, brightness and sharpness in Photoshop.
I didn’t push the contrast or sharpness too much as that would have been too harsh for my liking. Just enough to present a BBQ in a different light 🙂
Well whatever you did it worked. I’m an alcohol free zone (not from choice) so I’ll pass on the fizzy stuff 😦
fab. I like what you did with the processing. These are making me hungry…
Thank you!
Yep, I can certainly see the inspiration! Now, what’s that wonderful smell?!….
Can’t wait for the days to get much warmer in Brussels, so that I can have a mini BBQ at my tiny terrace!
I like the look. Then again, I’m a bit of a sucker for that film look, so it was an easy sell to me. Love the beer and baby at the BBQ 🙂
Thanks Bronwyn! It’s been quite fun fiddling with digital photos to get the film effect 🙂
Ah! The salted beef looks really enticing!! And this coming from someone who just had dinner!! So, the photographs are very good…BTW the little one doesn’t look too amused! 🙂
I wonder what makes children put their finger to their cheek (I have another photo of another kid doing so). Must be TV!
It’s the hand in the first photo which makes it a great photo!

I’m very happy to see this comment as that is exactly what caught my attention when I was reviewing this series of pics 😉
My thoughts on the baby photo was: “Got milk”. I don’t think it was milk though :D…
You’re spot on – it was milk indeed!
I say Yes !
