A Photo a Week Challenge: Circles on Circles

PSA: I seem to be posting a lot of challenges with food photos recently. Sorry about that, but please know that it in no way means that your submission should feature food, too. Please feel free to post anything that you feel fits the theme.

I mentioned to my husband yesterday that I wanted to make an apple pie. We had someone coming over for movies and dessert, and I was trying to think of something that would be a fun and yummy dessert. He suggested that I make it with an apple crisp topping. Until making this pie, the only single crust pie I have ever made is quiche, and my edges always collapse, so I was worried that would happen with this pie as well. I also searched Dutch Apple pie recipes to see if there were any that used more of an apple crisp topping instead of the traditional one. I couldn’t, so I was pretty much on my own for this. (It did turn out great, and I’ll make it again.)

When I was photographing it, I put it on the edge of our new kitchen table. Without the leaf in it, it is a prefect circle. When I put a couple of rogue apples by it, I realized that my photo had more of a theme than just pie. Even the bits of oats in the topping are round.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE…) FEATURING MULTIPLE CIRCLES.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography. Here’s how it works:

  1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post β€œA Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the β€œpostadayβ€³ and β€œPhoto a Week” tags.
  3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
  4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

  1. So many circles! I use that crumbly topping on many pies. My problem is that I can’t make a pastry crust to save my life, so I buy them frozen. After more than 20 years of fighting to create a viable, edible pastry crust, I gave up. Some people are really good at it. I’m not πŸ˜€

    1. I use my mom’s easy (6 ingredients) crust recipe, but it did fail on me the first time. I almost gave up, except that I had promised to bring an apple pie to a Thanksgiving dinner. After drying my eyes and calling my mom, I bought some fresh flour, and it worked just like it was supposed to. πŸ™‚ My secret is lard. Makes the crust super flakey and my husband says the pies taste like they’ve been deep fried.
