Inspired by some of you guys shooting your dinner, I thought I'd have a go too. Never shot food before - I'd be happy to hear any tips you guys have, either on compositionally or technically.

As for the tech side I'll leave that to them that know. I have some shots from that perspective (essentially further back compared to the ones I posted here) but it seemed to lose impact with the extra distance.

Just not with rice. More so with pasta. Glad those days are over though. AdamC wrote in post #7521218 Thanks guys. It's my variant on Continental's Chow Mien mix - mince, flavouring mix, rice, with plain ol' mixed veges instead of the fancy stuff you're supposed to use. Intereeeeeeeeeestiiiiiiing...
