chubs i especially like the grey goose shot!

on purpose I used low power, i.e. 1/32 on the 2 flashes ad did this in a dark room to make the flash basically the shutter, ths freeze action.

then when editing I went quite overboard with contrast and saturation as well as sharpening to get to this:

^other than being great...nothing good job as usual!

heres my poor attempt

nothing poor about it Kandy, jkust keep trying and read books about it

Hey Kandy,

It's a start. Go and grab a couple of reading lamps and some sheets of paper and practice lighting with some continuous light sources. Don't photograph but do move the lights around and learn how the light interacts with your subjects.

Lunch today, ok very late lunch!

Hey macobee,

Give me a salad please!

...but serve the refreshments out of the red bottomed glass. That's grey/blue bottom makes the liquid look underexposured or like you're serving ash.

It's a pity. It's got a wonderful shape to it.

Two from me, and a few more on my website.

Justal, agree with you on the glass, not suitable color for this kind of setting after all.

Ruben, you may want to cook the fish (Codfish fillet??) first, it kind of looks not yet cooked.
The duck looks ok but i find you have some blue reflections in there......a tv perhaps? you have many fantastic fotos on your website!

Guys my website is going live in a few days.....about 90 % ready now....I would appreciate sdome constructive feedback www.fnbimaging.com

Cheers

Thx Marco!

Yep it's codfish, and actually it's cooked lol, it's boiled. The light setup was a disaster at thar house, probably the tv was on although I tried to cover it's light. Only used a bounced 580 and a reflector, with 0 natural light. At my home now at least I have natural light to play with.

You have some amazing food photos, I'm damn hungry!!

Your website is looking great Macobee, very simple and easy to navigate. I'd check over your 'About Us' section as there are quite a few grammatical errors. Example "only got few minutes" and "food will no longer on its photographic condition.". I'm sure as it's only 90% complete you would've looked over and ironed this out anyhow. Just incase.

Keep the great food photography coming, and I have quite a few images to post up later tomorrow or on Thursday.

Thanks Kzaroshen!
