QUOTE(wha7ever @ Mar 3 2010, 10:29 PM) Smoky and steam is different. Not easy to catch steam, need to check your backdrop and the angle you trying to capture. Like ier said, there is no right or wrong to take food pics. However, there is a guideline to make it attractive. Practice makes perfect. There's one forumer, vkeong... check out his blog. His food photos quite awesome, I don't know what setup he uses to take those pics, wondering whether he uses flash for those shots. I find it somewhat overkill to use a flashgun in restaurant taking pics. Maybe it's just me....  from what i can tell from that site's food photos, quite a number of them are shot with the use of flash, albeit very small amount and nicely diffused. some that have sufficient natural lighting are shot without. for food photos, its very important to have the white balance set correctly, or else the food will look unnatural and in some cases, sickening. you dont want to be eating some beef burger with a green color-cast now do you? i may not have steamy food pics in my collection, but here's something rarer to catch than steam.  |

QUOTE(wha7ever @ Mar 3 2010, 11:01 PM) lwliam : Yes. White Balance is important. Not only food but all other type of pictures as well. alex_cyw1985 : 4th picture is awesome. well, with other pics, you still can save by converting it to b&w or making it into a cyanotype for example. with food, there's not much leeway for you to do so. |

Fighteden: well, not everyone will get a battery grip. those who opt for grips will not be interested with the 330 anyway. so why would sony bother spending money on designing something which sales will not move? sony was using their decades of sales and gadget experience to make this decision. not a decision made up out of the blue over a pint of beer to say, "ok i guess the A330 will not get a grip jz becoz i can decide so". so yeah, i guess sony did made some thinking before deciding on it.

e-jump, there's no set rule to say how many seconds is for what type of shot. just make sure the exposure at the end of the day is correct and alls good. photography is not static (eh wait, it is.... ) i mean, photos are static, but the user isn't  |

hazril, awesome.... A700 dun have 2rd party VG T.T cedihhhhh....
and small apertures will result in light points being diffracted thus creating the sharp points as you all know as star effects.

albnok/kul|Mo0: lwliam: Ewin has a 3rd party A700 vertical grip but it is really cheap-looking. It doesn't have the lowered shutter. yeah, we've been there on that topic, and very well, its not damn worth getting that... so that's not counted as a proper 3rd party VG to me hazril: mau kena ka u? |

QUOTE(albnok @ Mar 9 2010, 09:52 AM) lwliam: I guess I'm more used to seeing josssticks facing upwards. So if you intended for it to be oriented like a cigarette then the confusion worked. Awesome train shot! thanks dude.. well, to frame a joss stick facing upwards would be little too plain jane. the tip of the burning joss stick ought to give it away as ciggies dont have burnt leftovers. but then again, i never intended the shot to confuse viewers into thinking it as a ciggy, its only i rotated and saved the image that i notice that it looks like one. interpretation is up to the viewer anyways. |
