I was getting a 60th @ 2.8 on my light meter. This I did hand held, but with most I used a tripod. I used Lightroom for post on the RAW files. I did pump up the exposure for effect. The Chef wanted that blown white look. For the dessert shots I did use a sb800 on manual at very low power, I think it popped around f1.8, if my memory serves me, for just a tad fill. It was place on the bar about 6ft away with the diffuser on. I used elinchrome universal skyport to sync.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and I look forward to seeing your shots Kirk, please come back and post a link.Michael Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932610277588760960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323867712733981510.post-87128552230605026352008-09-11T10:46:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:46:00.000-04:00Sorry, one more thing… I wanted to know what you u...Sorry, one more thing… I wanted to know what you used to light the food.

They liked it and had me come back. I see what your saying, tripod and bigger F stop would be my only solution since I do not have a view or T/S.Michael Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932610277588760960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323867712733981510.post-69540325516826334782008-09-11T10:13:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:13:00.000-04:00I don't know what it is, but it looks fabulous.

What kind of camera are you shooting the food with? Is it a DSLR? I was just curious because of the shallow depth of field. Have you ever tried a view camera or a tilt/shift lens? They are still good shots but the view camera would really extend the depth of field if you needed it. <BR/>later dude,<BR/><BR/>mike meyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323867712733981510.post-37624698610347223892008-09-11T09:13:00.000-04:002008-09-11T09:13:00.000-04:00Mike cool picture I like the green color .....is t...Mike cool picture I like the green color .....is that a pine apple they are sitting on?Travis Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818138513301719634noreply@blogger.com
