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.

Hazardous Taste posted: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. Yes, this is what I figured. My next plans will be a small lighting booth and getting my old tripod back. With regards to the shot posted, I would use a narrower aperture as the angle and blurring of the food in front puzzles my eye. Saturation and contrast looks quite nice though.  Here's a test snapshot I did against some outdoor window lighting. I rarely cook when there's light outside so this is not often an option. Aperture was at f4.5 I believe, so I need to go narrower.
