simmer down! (a food lover’s blog)

masthead gallery

When I first started this blog, it came with a pre-fab masthead. As soon as I got my new camera* and started taking lots of pictures, I figured out how to create my own. It’s fun to change it up every so often to go with a theme of a new post, or just to challenge myself to find something that looks interesting cropped to this size (the size is pre-set, so I can’t alter the width or height). The mastheads appear from most recent to oldest.

*I’m currently using a Canon Rebel XS that came with an 18-55mm lens; I also recently acquired a 50mm f/1.8 lens, and hope to get a macro lens in the near future.
