This is looking much better! The only suggestion I have is to include a bounce for the foreground, the lime could use a bit more lighting. Good improvement.

still only have the one light. Just been too busy to get another. But here's a shot from last night. Set up is just the regular kitchen overhead and a fluorescent bounced off the ceiling, white balanced off a card before shooting.

on the plus side, i think the colors, the food and the plate look great. on the minus side of course i'm introducing all sorts of wacky shadows. I need to conform the bulbs and get another lamp.



I think this shot could use more DOF. At first I thought this photo was way out of focus, but it seems there there is a sliver of focused area. Are you using a tripod? Can you get away with a stopped down aperture?

Some new stuff. This is going to be a framing shot for a magazine that the restaurant I shoot for produces to give out for its customers. The subject is poultry and this was a shot of a chicken liver mousse that they make. The idea is the recipe will be provided and printed in the white space of the shot. Hence all the white space.



Wow, that looks great! I am digging the use of white space for the recipe, a great idea. Will you show the final design with recipe in this thread?

I think your lighting works well in this photo. The reflector did a great job. I don't see any dark areas that need more lighting, especially since the main subject (the pâté) is well lit.
