My husband and I often enjoy trying new recipes, so tonight we made enchiladas verdes from a Cook's Illustrated recipe. I've always thought food shots were interesting, so I decided to try one tonight with the chopped scallions we used to garnish our enchiladas. It turned out just about the way I wanted it to, except for that one small piece that caught the flash. I used a desk lamp that we keep in the kitchen for a fill light on the whole scallions in the background, and the on-camera flash for the main light. By the way, our enchiladas were fantastic!
Photo Specs. 80mm, 1/100s, f/8, ISO 640. Post: Increased color temp, contrast, clarity, and vibrance.
Manual. Page 220: RAW Processing. Since I will be out of town for several days this week, away from my Photoshop safety net, I decided to study how to export RAW photos to JPEGs inside my camera so that I can still post from my laptop. It's very easy and quite fun to find out how much you can do with your photos before even transferring them to the computer. Get ready for some (more or less) "out of the camera" shots this week!
Images. In light of my attempt at food photography today, I checked out images by professional food photographer Michael Ray. It's amazing how meticulously food shots are set up. Presentation is everything! Reminded me of a shot I saw of linguini with pesto, taken with a Lensbaby, in a Professional Photographer review of the Lensbaby 0.42x Super Wide Angle. The Lensbaby adds an awesome effect!
