Of course, neither would my mother. I'm a relative newcomer to food blogging. Interestingly, we were given a camera for Christmas that has a "food" mode. A sign of just how big a movement food blogging has become.Chef Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621018056104194641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-82859085367696454022010-01-13T19:18:51.107-08:002010-01-13T19:18:51.107-08:00Great tutorial, and beautiful photos!

Something I like to do for #2 is to crop the picture so that the most in-focus bit is at an intersection of the thirds. This works well for food in a sauce especially. I've been making a lot of soup and stews lately (who hasn't) and one trick I've been using with #3 is to have the serving dish go from corner-to-diagonal-corner. Anything to make lentil and spinach soup look as good as it tastes!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569203211829108437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-60091806554456041562010-01-12T22:28:47.093-08:002010-01-12T22:28:47.093-08:00Thanks for the great comments everyone...angle 1 a...Thanks for the great comments everyone...angle 1 and 3 seem to be the most popular..who knew?Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597734339038443470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-37039807503759460782010-01-12T22:17:39.701-08:002010-01-12T22:17:39.701-08:00I prefer the quarter angle and then angle #1.

I use it for all the positions, and I use all the positions for all my dishes, just to see how they turn out. I also like to move the tripod from the left to the right due to light angles.

The only thing very important that i learned is to use macro and sufficient lighting w/c i'm lucky to have a big window. Thank you very much for sharing this. What i learned here, i'll try to put them to use on my next food blog. Thanks again.TaGa_Lutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486036472471665209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-51156164231036551292010-01-12T19:34:45.599-08:002010-01-12T19:34:45.599-08:00I cannot believe that I hadn't stumbled upon t...I cannot believe that I hadn't stumbled upon this blog till now. I use the angle #3 most commonly.<br /><br />Could you give tips on taking pics in low light (read:night), especially now during winter in the northwest, theres very little light available. I recently, just about a week ago, purchased an SLR, so getting used to that as well.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips..will be reading the rest of your posts as well :)Manjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281772972570434984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-5147926814088841052010-01-12T10:06:50.299-08:002010-01-12T10:06:50.299-08:00Thanks for the comments.

I had always build plates by trying to make them pretty rather than building food for my camera angle.Stephanie@CopyKat.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011536713567337243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-21084185500568189572010-01-11T13:18:43.271-08:002010-01-11T13:18:43.271-08:00Helpful post!

I like to really get in there at a low angle but lift it ever so slightly to get a blurred background for context. Occasionally, I find it interesting to lift a piece of the food (assuming that it's coming out of a dish with other stuff) up close to the camera and letting the background blur into a subtle context. For example, like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juicystyle/3972640923/Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838901351650391030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475667289349218469.post-91817595786084826652010-01-10T15:28:25.306-08:002010-01-10T15:28:25.306-08:00mmmm!!
