[nitewalk] I Eat Alot! :)

Yes yes vary the angle of shoot. sometimes taking it from top down can be nice also.

of course it can be difficult since the food can be really tempting.

I see, I went to see your shots and I understand what you mean. I see you use a bit of tile so that the food did not look so "upright".

The way i like my food shots to be bokehlious might not be to the norm of food photography.

Normally we would want it to show less blur, and more food in focus.

#6 Chee Cheong Fun

Like this one. :thumbsup: One of the better ones among the rest.

Manage to show the texture of the sauce of it and will makes me wonder how does it taste when it's popped into my mouth.

As for your #5, i think it's a little overexposed and white balance is also not right because i am not able to figure out what are the fillings in the maki.

Pardon me if i'm wrong. Is that cucumber? Cus i think i saw a pinch of green in the pic. In my opinion, i think it is impt to reflect the color of food like how our eyes see it. If you are the boss of the restaurant, you would not want your photos on ur menu to differ from your actual food.

Yes. I found myself wondering what aperture to use whenever I am shooting food. Would it be more ideal if I fill my frame with the food and use a smaller aperture, say f/13 or 16?
The following is a shot of calamari taken at f/7.1 at 1/13 seconds, ISO 800.

Other than the aperture, the distance of ur camera to your object (food) will also affect the depth of field. Your aperture might be set to 7, but if u are too close to the subject, it might still focus of one piece of calamari instead of presenting it as a whole.

However, focusing on one point of the food is not really a bad thing, depending on what kind of food are you taking.

I am also using 50mm F/1.8. I totally understand the restriction, but no choice, stand up or move ur chair back if you need to.

Hope to see more of your work!

Thanks for explaining about distance to food and the relation to aperture!

I was wondering about that because i had a conjecture (due to what i experience when i was shooting) yet i'm not sure exactly how they are related.

Anyway 5 was a "for fun" shot, just to share with all a digitally converted "lomo". Haha. I was not pleased with the original shot so i decided to try a tutorial on converting digital images into a pseudo-lomo image. Hahaha.

Anyway 6 can try at geylang lor 15 and 17 in between. I think they are pretty over rated anw but the chee chong fun was better than the rest of the food.

The depth of fields are generally affected by 4 main settings.

1. Ur aperture size. Bigger = thinner depth of field
2. Ur focal length. Narrow = thinner depth of field
3. Distance of cam to object. nearer = thinner depth of field
4. Distance of object to background. further = thinner depth of field

You can experiment them as u go along.

Is it 揾到食?? The one which opens 24 hours? If it is, i tried that before!

I am also a foodie! Let's exchange views along the way.

Focal length narrow meaning wide angle?

Haha yeaps. I dunno the chinese name how to type out. I find its quite over rated considering the verbal reviews by my friends.

My intention of starting a food series is to do a mini review of some of the food places to go with my sharing. End up forget the review part coz all the f-stop, DOF, shutter speed and ISOs! Hahaha.

#7 Zaru Soba at Sushi Tei

IMHO not pleased with this effort. Main point is, the zaru soba here is not bad. Normally go for the tuna paste don at Sushi Tei but today tried this soba with the pork cutlet. The cutlet was disappointing (so was my shot of it, due to my extreme hunger). So cannot tahan, just snap and makan already. Haha.

u can try to increase the contrast on #4?

Thank :thumbsup: but ah I don't think I have the RAW file with me. nowadays i try to increase constrast more.

#6, the Chee Cheong Fun looks appetizing, this shot is the one that i like the most. As for #7, my personal opinion is that it could have been better if you experimented with the direction of the natural light, in this shot it seems that the lighting is coming somewhere 45 degrees to the left leaving the foreground a little dark.

Oh I see. Yes the light was indeed coming in through the window from that direction. Thanks for the advice!
