Photography

I absolutely adore the world of food photography and food styling!  It makes me so happy to make a scrumptious meal and then capture that yummy essence in a photo to be remembered and shared.  I’m still learning everything there is to know about photography and my D-SLR camera, so I am not a professional by any means, but it’s just so darn fun!  Usually I get so carried away taking a bunch of pictures of our meal, that I forget to eat.  Chris and I usually eat a lot of cold dinners

I use the Canon Rebel Xsi with the kit lens that came with it.

I don’t have a fancy tripod or lighting station, but am saving up for the future.  I also have my eye on a 100mm f2.8 macro lens that I would love to experiment with.  Normally, because most of my pictures have to be taken once the sun is down (terrible lighting!), I utilize the white balance setting on my camera and set it to ‘tungsten’.  This helps to keep it from being too yellow-ish.  I also have a small table-top tripod that helps eliminate fuzziness when the f-stop must be increased.

Let me know if you have any photography questions and I will try to answer them for you!
