Sharing some of the sushi shots I took at Sakae Sushi:

some look like under
if can increase the DOF will be better
good try

use lower aperture... DOF too shallow

DOF is shallow but the place was kinda dark.

It was either going to be higher ISO (could have gone that way), lower shutter speed (no way with my shaky hands), or bigger aperture (sacrificing DOF).

Will try other combinations the next time

Thanks for the comments.

another way... use flash...
build-in flash will serve u well...

no lar...from what i see people take photos of food de in mags and recipe book, the whole plate of food in on focus...except the background or plate is blurred...so i suggested you lower your aperture...with that you no need worry so much bout lighting and can go higher on shutter speed also...my opinion that is...

Haha food in mags and recipe book has huge amounts of lighting wei...

But I agree that DOF is shallow. Smaller aperture might have given me more depth but as I sight, no light.

@Henry Hrmmm flashhhh....good idea

where were you then?kopi tiam or house?

sushi bar...with those fancy ambient lighting... its a pretty dark place

owh..then wont it be awkward to be flashing around when people are eating

people were already staring at me when I took out the Nikon ahhaha..

if don wan use flash, then buy F1.4 lens...
another cheating way is, don shoot so close... go back crop the pics...
DOF will better compare to u close up to the food

Yeah, I think its time I zoom in and crop later.

F1.4 lens...zzz...you pay?

hehehe... then u zoom in and crop better...
i will pay for my own F1.4 lenses later...

henry you want buy new lens ah ...........
good good next time poison me
wakakaka

wat is DOF? sorry ar... i am still in new photography..

The problem is level. The color is simple too flat. Check your histogram. Do notice that there is a blank spot on the right, that's the reason causing the color to look flat and dark. A simple level adjustment will fix it.



I shall at least look something like this, if not better.

Depth of Field..means smth like the part being focused..

Nothing better to do, so simply shot pics of my new toy:

1. Glowing in the dark


2. Macbook White


3. The keyboard

ok... the problems still remain... DOF + Underexposure...
Please do check the histogram from Photoshop, do some adjustment will make your pictures better...
happy shooting...
