1 or 2 or just natural, all also can... janji the food looks salivating, whatever method also can

U need to get the most basic right 1st ler... artificial or natural, basically, your lights need to be bright enough. If u want simple, try shooting fruits or vege beside window

Looks ok ma...

U can compare at www.snapsort.com

dood, check out online tutorials la... get the basic right 1st...

get 1 thing right n move to the next... u rojak everything together later u also fedup coz nothing seems right...

haha
brudder, before u can fly, u need to walk 1st

shooting food is cool, but shooting food the wrong way is not cool for sure. most of the foodies i know local n international uses natural light as their main light. thats y i said get the basics right 1st. if u already have natural soft window light, use it. learning flash is for sure good, but before u even know how to do the basic thing and u jump to another, how to learn? take basic photos 1st n see if u can utilize what is around u

oh, okok

like this
u see ar, y i said natural light would be easier for people just learning with photography is that, the light is bright and soft enough. flash is good coz robust and can be used to shoot at night, but later also have to configure strength or even use some bounce-cards (maybe even black cards) to even up the shadow etc. and by the time u experiment with the flash configurations, your food already become stale and dry means not appealing anymore.

with natural light, dont need to think so much about the lighting, just need to take a normal photo and see how to make it look more salivating only...

there is no rule to say which is good or which is better, just see which one gives u the best result only, my 2cents la

here's an example of flash vs non flash





answer:

1st photo problem, dont la shoot beside the sink, u see that odd reflection below, as of now u have lighting from below pulak...

2nd photo problem, go nearer to window, 1st is problem with the reflection on the glaze, 2nd is the problem with shadows till u cant see the cake


another 2cents, google the images of macarons n chocolate cake, u will get an idea how they are normally shot

shoot till u feel it is nice enough to be in menus la

wait wait, how do you insure your gears prior to renting out?

sifus, anyone successfully shot tethered with 5D Classic?

imply? was just asking if anyone managed to shoot tethered with 5D Classic

u want bright lighting system?
