18135 is D80 kit lens IIRC

Yeap normal kit lens is enough.....All my food pics are taken with my trustie 18-55 lens

Here's 1 of my food pic I took few weeks back

Sometimes vivid also not enough saturation loh.. last time I use landscape and boost the saturation in the pc.
as for me for landscape is better with a higher saturation. you can sometimes see a unique color where your eye can't see.

bokeh not sharp? what is the meaning of that statement?
I didn't attend the last week TT.. hahaha

im not pro but i want to answer can? hehe

since u will taken a close picture, kitlens quite ok for bokeh.

its depends on u want the output.

for some person, they want to focus out the main delicious spot of the dishes and set to F5.6, max focal length so that can create a lil bokeh on the other side.

some person, normally menu picture la, they want the whole dishes looks clear. basically they start from F7.1 till F16 (well i had did it once at F16)

rest setting, will be determine by the lighting

Highlights overblown la

@soulX Kit lens will do just fine

I think it's best for him to see what kitlens can produce, by looking at some of goldfries' work

Den I guess d street price would be less den rm2500...
Haha... Can poison my fren adi...

@Isepunye

wah ur 2nd pic use what settings? @__@ i want to create something like that~ yum

i also forgot + it was taken from FB album. i cant memorize where did i put it.

as far as i remember, shud be F11 - 16, SS : 1/100 - 1/160, single speedlight cls trigger 45 degrees from in front ( camera > subject > flash will be "V" shape if i draw it) speedlight was 1/32 @ 1/64 bare flash direct to the food.

why bare? intentionally want to make the food looks shinny

wahh... food is provided. how about some drinks by 18-55 VR guys?

550D+ 1855 kitlens

a noob question... my lens is 18-105 and uh... why sometimes i try to take picture of the food 'closer' but it tends to ask me back off more for the focus?

@__@ make the food pic very small LOL
