I would have liked the steak photograph with a different background.

Thread Approved

[Aryan]

Yummy! :D The first shot is good, although a little distracting. However, I am not at all into food photography; haven't tried it much to post. However, will try and find a few shots that I might and share with one and all. :)

Thanks for the thread, by the way Ruffryder.

Great shots! How did I miss these?

This would have been better had you toned down the brightness by making minus 2/3EV or reduced the power of your flash by 2/3. You would have got more vivid colours and more contrast on your plate/leaf!

I had taken these shots about an year ago. That time I did not have that kind of knowledge (exposure and all).:o

[prafultripathy]

And that's a lovely shot. I wish you had lights and strobes to get more support to available light.

[hitanshu]

Good frame, but the light and the final colors leaves alot to be desired for me. Esp coming from you man.

Agree with ken - light mangta hai

[amanomics]

Thanks Ken da and Mr.Tau... agree on your point, but then that was on the dine-in table and I just clicked cos I was having duck for the first time!

Both nice shots Raj! Enjoyed the first one more though.

(Just a side note, that is not a wine glass. But I am sure you know that!)

Here's another one from that 3rd Jan 2010 Photowalk:

Just like that food itself, even the shot itself is not appealing or appetising!

[hitanshu]

I agree. I went back and saw that the bulk of the shots are crappy and nothing good. But the handful that were the least crappy got posted :D

Good. At least we go to see some of it.

You are a good cook too!

I liked 1 and 3. However I would not hesitate to mention as well that in both photographs, the onions look overexposed and the lemon details are missing. It is difficult to shoot in such contrasting food textures.

Good job though.

good one bro . my mouth is full of_____ ? you know what i mean ? :) i liked the 3rd one very much

[hitanshu]

superbly done man. me likes. maybe a single raw hdr would manage the exposures a bit better?

Kudos on your cooking!!!!

[rajr]

Thanks Ken Da, Vaishak and Hitanshu.

I agree with the details on Lemon and the exposure on Onion rings. I tried my level best, but this is the output i got.

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

no 3 is droool...

[rajr]

Very true Anvancy I dint have a proper dish to present the dish hence clicked in the pan that it was prepared in.

Lovely shot @amanomics. the green color compliments the overall dish.


Chicken drumsticks in garlic, butter, pepper, salt, soya and ginger

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

why so much shine on it amanomics?

@Rajr: as an analysis, what lighting you used to light the above photo?

Anvancy

[rajr]

@anvancy >> It was the basic tube-light and camera flash.

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

Next time you shoot it,

A little trick to use.

Keep your tubelight on for the ambient.

No flash.

Take those LED torch or so.Put it in front of a nice white cloth for a proper diffusion and move the light around the food during a long exposure.

Anvancy

[amanomics]

Thanks Rajr

why so much shine on it amanomics?

the surface of the food, oil over it, plus the light from the window.. guess that is where the shine's coming from!

[KrishnenduKes]

This is indeed a nicely exposed shot!

This is a good shot Raj. Better than your previous attempts.

However the highlights need to be toned down further.
