ReplyDeleteSaju, Get a tripod. It is so useful when there is little light and hands shake like an ECG graph. You can set the exposure time a little longer. Mounted on a tripod, this will ensure a brighter picture. These photos were taken at 9 in the evening.
ReplyDeletethanks Suganya, I am getting a tripod the first chance I get.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the apple dessert.

ReplyDeleteHey Saju,
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us have the problem with light these days. Here's a link that might help a bit...

I have found that playing around with the tungsten balance(if your camera does have that setting)helps a lot.
sure Saju.......We could fathom from the pics how much your guests must have enjoyed the food.........Hope u guys had a blast :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a yummy feast that is... a mouthwatering menu indeed.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good, Saju!
ReplyDeleteAbout poor lighting, check to see if your camera has settings for white balance. Fiddling with that helps take away the unnatural glow from photos clicked in incandescent light.

ReplyDeleteHere is a suggestion for better pictures in the evening
Using Reflectors
"I use a system of small reflectors that come from LightRight for food and product photography. These are cardboard silver reflectors made with a shiny silver surface on one side, and a white surface on the other side. The reflectors have a sliding magnet system that allows me to angle the light anywhere I wish. I usually use two strobes with softboxes, and one hard light focused through a grid (a round metal disk that allows light to pass through a honeycomb pattern, focusing the light and keeping it narrow). I usually will bounce the light from the hard light back into the shadow side of the product with a LightRight reflector.
Don’t own any photography lights? You can do product photography with just window light and three or four LightRight or homemade silver art paper reflectors. Defuse the window light with a white sheet or curtain; place your product on a paper or cloth background, then bounce the light from the window into the shadow side of the product with your reflectors. It works great!" by
