The one light bouncing off the ceiling thing is still in effect: Is it just me or does the color temperature look strange? I'm liking the compositional improvement, but the color temp on all your photos keeps throwing me off. If you look at mysticp's and Brad Industry's photos, their color temperatures are dead on and that's huge for food photography. A slightly cool cast can ruin a great photo of a steak. A food photographer I work with has remarked that food can pretty much be a million tones of warm, but rarely ever cool. Also, don't underestimate the value of delicious, free natural light, so don't worry about spending poo poo-tons of cash on lights unless you actually really need it. I often find myself hauling about 400lbs of gear around for this photographer and we hardly ever use it.

torgeaux posted:190ProX. It has a minimum height of 3 inches I think. I would qualify this as saying that the hero should be front-ish and in focus, with an aperture that allows the rest of the plate to very gradually fall out of focus but still be recognizable. I want to see my seasonal veggies to look yummy and fresh, but I don't want them to distract from the freshly-caught fish by the competition of focus. All food photographs should have a hero (i.e. focal point). I'd recommend using a tilt-shift to throw your focal plane around in directions that aren't always parallel to the film plane. Also, seconding the Manfrotto 190XProB, though I also like the 055XProB (it gets bigger  ). If you have the money, I love hydrostatic ball heads, or even more money, Really Right Stuff or Acratech. Manfrotto is just a great manufacturer with a wide range of products. The short of it, I recommend whatever Manfrotto head you like that had a quick-release plate that fits your needs and shooting method and make sure it supports at least 2x the weight of what you're putting on it. 3-way heads and ball heads do basically the same thing, just in different ways.
