Greybone posted:How is this? Obviously not staged and more a spur of the moment thing, but I need to start posting more for feedback anyways It looks very old fashioned to me. It reminds me of photos I see in older cookbooks from the 70's and 80's. As for the photo itself, it looks unbalanced. You have a large area of negative space in the upper right quadrant. Maybe shooting at a different angle or adding some additional dinnerware such as plates, napkins, and utensils would fill that space. Or, move the wine bottle and glasses to the upper right so they're not cut off and fill the rest of the space with plates, etc. The serving platter looks unique and is part of the presentation, but I don't like how it's cut off on either side. There needs to be more light and more attention to the food. As it is right now, the brightest highlights are all clustered in the wine glasses. After the dark corner, the glasses are the second thing that gets my attention. Also, did you add a vignette in post?

Food Photography interests me, but I rarely remember to grab shots of something before it gets eaten. I did manage to get a shot of this Sticky Toffee Banana Pudding I made for dessert this evening using available light coming in through the window:

BlueGrot posted:Beautiful thread. I recently picked up a 550D with a 1.8f lens for cheap and want to do some nice photos of food, but all my shots turn out under exposed due to lighting conditions, so the link with the diy lamp and soft box was really helpful. I also need to play a bit more around with DOF as 1.8 is too narrow. You'll need to stop down and shoot at a smaller aperture than F1.8 to get a wider depth of field. Try something like F5.6 or smaller. To make sure your images don't become darker, you'll also have to decrease your shutter speed accordingly.
