Western Australia. Perth.

This is another test for food before I shoot the competition food. I was lucky enough to spend some time in the kitchen of one of Perth's best restaurants in order to test lighting in a kitchen, the way food looks, how it is or should be presented and most importantly how I should represent it and process it. I learned a lot that night.

1. A cable release for the camera is a must. Shots were slightly blurred (I must buy one)
2. Fluorescent light is good, once white balanced out.
3. No need for specific lighting
4. Need to be sensitive when grading the pictures. Medium Rare meat can end up looking rare after processing in Photoshop. Keep your eye on the reds.
6. Don't go crazy with color balancing. some vegies can end up looking weird.
7. DoF is a must. Long lens was good, but I must try a better lens.

Thank you Simone & Neil for letting me shoot in your Restaurant. Excellent food once again!

	~* Rae ~ says: Greg* - beautiful lighting here, great sparkle coming off the food and really nice composition and dof. I wish it was slightly sharper though? Great pp work with border etc. Posted 19 months ago. ( permalink )
	G.M.B says: Rae : Sharper. Yeah I know. That is why I'm buying a remote control for the camera. The shot wasn't steady enough even tho I had my tripod. :) Maybe I should have used the timer. Posted 19 months ago. ( permalink )
