That sure look appetizing, if only I could get my eye to focus on the food and not the toilet!

Thanks for the thread. Inspired by it, I've had some fun shooting pics of my breakfast, thinking about going for something more elaborated (e.g. main course..). Critics? maxmars fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Mar 20, 2012 |

^ I like it, but the perspective is blowing my mind. I only wish the shadows were behind the fruit rather than to the right. If you do a shot like that again I would like to see if the shadows following the grain of the wood would help (or shadows hidden behind the objects), and get rid of the white glare on the top of the shot,

It's a great subject, lighting is good and colors are excellent, but there are a few things I would adjust. The angle is weird, but I think it might be the perspective is distorted. Did you shoot this with a wide angle lens? I would have overall just shot the subject lower Mainly though, work with the scene more. I get what you are doing with putting the berries on the table, but it's not natural, they just look deliberately put there. So have a container of each berry in the background and maybe find one of those old fashioned milk bottles and half fill with milk to be next to the milk glass. Maybe a cloth on the table, or some sort of place mat (a folded cloth napkin works well) and also something to eat the berries with.

We had some yummys at work, and since the best camera I had with me was my cellphone, that is what I used. I am not really interested in food photography in general but I figured that it was a good exercise in terms of "posing" the subject and using the available lighting we have here at work. Please let me know how I could have improved this, given the constraints of the "gear" I was using.

Miso Beno posted:These photos aren't anything particularly ground breaking or special but I thought I'd share them anyways. Not bad at all. My eye is a contrast whore, so I would personally brighten them a bit, and had a soft light filter and lower the opacity. The main thing about your pictures are that they seem very crowded, and plates overlap each other - try and give it more space or have less things in each shot! mysticp posted:yummy stuff As always really nice and clean! That open fire oven shot is incredible, I SO wanna eat a good italian pizza right now!

 Made a cinnamon & strawberry ice-cream sandwich today and thought it looked too good not to take a photo of. Should have widened the DoF ever so slightly I think.

I definitely don't disagree with soft/subtle light on sushi (just for fun you should take a photo in bright daylight or under a worklamp and see what happens) but sushi in the dark starts to look a little scummy (it doesn't help that you're shooting on black plates).

Been shooting a lot of editorial stuff recently. Lots of fun and a completely different challenge when there is next to no decent light and mad deadlines.    The last shot I did get to use an umbrella for a bit of fill

mysticp posted:Especially digging the one with the hands! But it is fun doing shots like that, where you don't have time to plan and relax. Last weekend I shot at an event, that was completely candlelit.. Who does that to the photographer, seriously. And where is the 5D mk. III? I need the better ISO like yesterday. But great pictures mysticp!

Been doing some photography work for a restaurant here in Portland. Most of the photos end up on their Facebook (which I also run, to be transparent, not fishing for likes) (https://www.facebook.com/urbanfarmerportland) but I've added some to my flickr account. Would love your input and advice! Untitled by drewsiah, on Flickr  Untitled by drewsiah, on Flickr

That looks like poop, I'm glad you went with the clover. This looks like poop too. You should be very careful not to make your food look like poop. In all seriousness, half the joy of a shish-kebab is the shape, the repeating (or non-repeating) objects. Here you have meat, meat, meat, meat and while I get what you were going for in bringing only one into focus and letting us fill in the rest you have the issue of focusing on the wrong one. The foreground meatball and the background meatballs are all blending in with your in-focus meatball and it's destroying the shish-kebab aesthetic. There's a reason shish-kebabs are usually photographed from a higher angle and that's because the whole look of a shish-kebab is in its length - I can hardly tell that that's a shish-kebab at all!

And for me, a touch more of contrast. Here is something I did the at saturdays pop-up restaurant. You can see the rest of the series on my blog, and also some other recent work.

LAchristus posted:Almost there dude! The composition is a bit to centered for me and the spoons point the same way. And for me, a touch more of contrast. Thanks, I really appreciate that kind of advice since I'm still very new to this. Check out the latest batch I'm satisfied with; Italian Meat Loaf. Came out a bit too bright for my liking, but darker makes the meat look really off. First time I tried to embed eggs so I didn't push it as hard as I should have, so that is why it looks like it was added after.  Pasta. Should have cut the greens a bit less coarse. I think this is an improvement in the composition you mentioned in regards to the prawn udon soup or not?  Balsamico Chicken Skewers with Lemon-Chives-Red Chili Mayonaise. I'm not really sure about the same topping on both the mayonnaise and the chicken, but the chives are already in the mayonnaise and when I didn't sprinkle it over the chicken everything just looked like a brown blur. It gives the meat real contrast, but also kind of lessens the overall effect since it is everywhere. It should have been all about the mayonnaise since I never made that before, but I prefer it getting a little bit lost over being surrounded by just browns.
