Food

Was curious about this so thought I'd give this a shot. Last eve. A Chef's Gala. Sd10, 50mm, single flash. I see the challanges this kind of thing presents now. Fire at will.

Maybe I've become accoustomed to softer photos of food. Nothing technically wrong with the photo. It (to me) does not look as appealing as other photos I've seen. Maybe too stark?

Keep having fun.

That's how I felt too. Was at a Gala and someone asked me to snap some of the displays. Having never done it before, I knew with a single flash that this would get dicey. Now I am really curious about how to shoot these kinds of subjects.

Greetings David

You can use 2 flashes one on camera and 1 hand held or tripod. The SD10 should trip both. Then diffuse both and try different angles.
Have fun

Very nice pictures.

Looking at your photos really make me hungry, however I have never personally photographed food. I have worked for the food industry before and saw a couple of tricks that photographers did, maybe it will help. If the setting you are photographing is not going to be eaten, rather just being used for photographs, sometimes carrying a spray bottle of water or cooking spray helps add a little sheen to soft foods like veggies or meats. I have also seen companies actually shelac or varnish foods like loaves of bread to add sheen.

Great shots!. I've ordered a ring flash to do food shots.
