Photo of the month: Pamela, Cambridge
Only three days left to enter our current photo competition!
If you neither had time…
… to search the internet or your cookery books for mouth-watering recipes nor to look for well-known restaurants, do so NOW. If you find a suitable recipe or a stylish restaurant, tell your best friend to stop by this evening to prepare some delicious food together or have a great time in a luxurious restaurant. But please do not forget to take some photos before you enjoy your meal
.
You still have the chance… 
… to win a Pixum Photo Book large landscape with photo paper as a reward for the best photo or to get two free* 8″ gloss posters for your participation. Both products are a perfect way to get the best from your photos – so don’t wait any longer and find some delicious food!
You can enter…
… until the 29/02 – all photos will be taken into consideration when we pick a winner at the beginning of March. We will try to publish as many photos as possible in our blog and all pictures will be placed in our online album.
F-stop f/5.6
Exposure time 1/4sec
ISO-400
This is a photograph of rice in a steamer bowl with pumpkin seeds for decoration. To create a dramatic effect I only have one light source which was a spot light. Additionally, I have left this photo untouched as I felt that it did not need any manipulation.

You can find a new product in our online shop: the challenging Photo Puzzles from Ravensburger® 
What is it?
This special branded product either consists of 500 pieces or for real puzzle enthusiasts, of even 1000 pieces. Your personal puzzle image is printed on stable cardboard packaging and delivered in a cardboard box with your favourite picture on cover. Whether you intend it to be used to have fun, as a creative invitation or a romantic message – it will be special for the person who puts all pieces back together and looks at a personal image that is brilliantly coloured and printed precisely.
What is special about it?
You can use a personalised Photo Puzzle from Ravensburger® in many different ways: as an outstanding gift for a puzzle enthusiast if you are not one yourself; as a surprise for your sweetheart by encoding your message or as an eye-catcher for your wall. If you decide to keep a photo puzzle yourself and to hang it on your wall, all you need is a plank of wood (which you can buy and get cut in shops for buildings supplies), a special glue and a piece of mountings. Et voilà, you create a new piece of decoration for your guests (and yourself as well
) to admire. A Photo Puzzle from Ravensburger® combines two specialists for high-quality products in a perfect way: Your photo printed as a special puzzle!
What does it cost?
The Photo Puzzle from Ravensburger® with 500 pieces costs £39.99 and one of 1000 pieces costs £49.99, both with postage from only £2.99.

We would like to call our current photo competition on Food Photography to your mind!
Which images can I use?
We would like you to take photos of food that already looks delicious. You can participate with pictures that show food you prepared yourself or saw (and ate
) in a restaurant. If you decide to pick a receipt and prepare your favourite food yourself, you could also invite your family and friends to share cooking and eating – but before you start enjoying the food, please take a few photos of it.
Why should I enter?
You still need a reason to start cooking and taking photos of tasty food? Here is an irresistible one: If you share your food photos with us, you can win a brilliant Pixum Photo Book large landscape with photo paper! All participants get two free* 8″ gloss posters. We try to publish as many photos in our blog and all pictures will be displayed in our online album. So don’t hesitate any longer but get your camera and start taking some unique photos.
How long does the photo competition run?
You can enter your pictures until the end of February – which is the 29th this year
. As soon as we have chosen the winner from all entries at the beginning of March, we will let you know here.

A perfect match for our Placemat: our new Photo Coaster
What can I use it for?
Due to its material of food safe plastic as well as its wipe-clean and scratch proof surface coating, our new Photo Coasters are the highlight of every dinner or
cocktail party. Simply place them on your table and your guests will have something to put their drinks on while talking and to look at while drinking
What is special about it?
A single Photo Coaster is no use for a party with many guests. This is why you can choose between a set of 6, 10 or 15. All Photo Coasters have one thing in common – they display your favourite picture.
What does it cost?
The set of 6 is available for only £11.99 with a postage of £2.99.
Also a great present if you are invited yourself – so don’t wait but order now!
