Man, I am not even getting in on this. There are some killer photos brothers. Nice job.

Oh!

OK but this might get bumped... F4 @ 1/60th of a second. Reflective cards are silver mylar on a chip board stock.

Here's the deal, I've directed a lot of food photography and I know what it takes but I don't have the equipment. You need a good soft light source high and slightly behind and a little fill light from the front above the camera and what set it off is just a sharp focused light that just skims the top of the food. Now try getting that with halogen kitchen lights 2 reflective cards and a flashlight. My stomach wins over the photo every time!

Will something like this work well with food? http://www.amazon.com/XPRO-Studio-Photography-White-Photo/dp/B000BFGU9E

Do you mean like food shots for throw-downs?
NO! Absolutely not :lol:

Actually it might do pretty well. But, you usually want a mix of soft and hard light. Tenting everything is usually used for highly reflective objects like chrome, glass, etc. You could just build some frames out of PVC and stretch a translucent fabric across it. Use that on the top light and a little less focused fill from the front/side.

It really depends on the ambient light you have to work with. Mine sucks! Rick Just points and shoots and his stuff looks great.

I second that! Bigabyte's advice is as good as Shawn's in my book! :biggrin: Uh, where is Shawn? Did she go on vacation with Phubar again? Hey Phube, did Shawn help you out with that yummy meal?

Don't know what you're talking about.:roll:
