ok, today i shall share with you all on taking pictures of food. as many ppl know, i love to eat. haha. which also explains my size too. i love food so much that i love taking pictures of them and they will remind me of how it taste, how appetizing it looks and sometimes for the better ones, i will note down the address so that i will go back again or share it with my friends.
taking food picture is quite tricky. cos picture says a thousand words and it will probably tell people if the food taste food or not.
Taking food pictures also dependent on a couple of factors
1. Food itself
2. Presentation of the dish
of cos sometimes, u need to do something to the dish itself to make it look more tasty. for example : taking a picture of fried oyster egg (or jian). it will be quite boring if u just take the picture like that and is a very traditional .u can try to take 1 piece of it using the chopstick and take a close up picture of it.
taking food pictures using a PEN + kit lens.
seriously, i have not invested in a macro lens just to take food pictures before. nt even on my dslr. the pictures taken using my dslr are using my tamron 17-50mm. and most of the pictures i taken, erhmm..turns out well ( got some cannot make it one..but most are ok).
for PEN, it is a very smart camera. u can choose to use the "A" setting to achieve the object (food) sharp, background blur effect or u can choose one of the custom call macro.
to achieve the above mention effect, you need to set the aperture to be the biggest. for example : f2.8 (if that is the max) and the picture will turn out great! of cos, under low light conditions, big aperture will help too.
now, u need to also decide on the depth of field. what you want to show, what you want ppl to know about the food too. so the distance to zoom also plays apart.
for my case, i would like to capture as much detail as possible.
below are some of the pictures i taken recently
hope my tips is helpful..coming next will be landscape...
