While brownies are basic, food photography is not. It takes a lot of practice to get the right composition and lighting. I've only been at it a year, but I feel the more I practice the better I get. Not only was this blog created to share the occasional treats I concoct, but it also gives me the opportunity to practice my photography. I'm currently using a Nikon D3000. This photo was taken with my 35mm 1.8 lens. I made some slight modifications to color and size in photoshop.
Oh good. I hope you post some photography tricks. I have been turned down by foodgawer so many times that I am starting to take it personally! :) I have a cannon ds xsi and it is on auto for the most part. I think when I get one of my entries accepted, I will throw a party! I look forward to reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteWish I had some sure fire tricks. I've been practicing for about a year before starting this blog. I've taken a couple of intro photography classes and pretty much use the auto adjustments in photoshop. I shoot manual. You really should look into shooting manual. The more you do it the better you'll get.
ReplyDeleteI've turned down by foodgawker many times too! I need your tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHey Carin, this photo was my second submission to foodgawker. They denied my first post on the Strawberries saying it was too dim. I shoot during the day. I sometimes use big pieces of white poster board to reflect light on my subject. I am not too familiar with photoshop quite yet, so in photoshop I use the basic autoadjustments. Hope this helps a little
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips, I just started my blog and just got a Nikon P100 camera. I am also teaching myself Adobe Photoshop. So keep the tips coming :)
