I'm seriously considering an upgrade to the new D4.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...LR_Camera.html If so, my D3 will be on the market for about 2,500 bucks, if anyone is interested. CD |

I'm a tard when it comes to takin' good food pics, I will say that for the folks that have to use their smart phone, look for the free HDR Camera app in the android store...
It will only work for still shots, but it gives a pretty decent, no editing needed photo. When you take the picture, it will take 3 consecutive pics, 1 over exposed, one under exposed and 1 normal, it then overlays all 3 pics so that the highlights and shadows are deeper & richer than normally would be with your regular camera app. Since it takes 3 pics, you've got to hold very still otherwise your pics will turn out deguerred, kinda tough when you can't really mount your phone in a tri pod. I don't have any examples right now, but I'll take a few later and post them.

Here are 2 pics, full sunlight, first with reg Samsung Galaxy S camera app, the second with HDR camera app on the same phone.
Natural light plays with it a little more than indoor lighting... HDR App Next 2 diff exposures on the same camera, indoor light a mix of natural & artificial Little better HDR App

With a lot of help from CaseyDog in this and another thread I started, I've gotten better results here of late. Ended up buying a Nikon L810 used for the first time in the Taco Throwdown. Also using a slight modification of CD's lighting technique. Still a learning curve for sure.
Here's a link to a cool tutorial I'm just starting: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm Since we only get to use one of 5 senses for the TD's, Why not go for max effect?

I've had a D7000 for about 6 mos now. It is a great camera. You probably can' t do much better than this in a non full frame sensor camera. Spend the extra dough on a great lens.

I've got a question regarding lens sizes. I've been using my widest angle lens, the 18-55 which came standard with the camera. Would their be any benefit to jumping up to a longer lens size like a 70-300 to compress the space a little bit?
Would there be any benefit or am I just going to annoy myself by having to stand really far away or get out a stepstool to fit everything into a shot?

So, I'm taking my photos to the next level and need some help learning Photoshop, just got my copy of the latest version. Company also provided me with Lightshop, so I can do some cataloging, etc. Where's a good place to start (books?, website?). TIA for any help.

I don't use Lightroom, but I am a heavy user of photoshop. For your food shots, learn to use Levels and Color Balance first. Then learn Smart Sharpen. I use those three things on pretty much every shot I take. The dodge and burn tools are also useful on food shots. That should get you started. Kelby Training videos online are pretty good. CD |
