How to Shoot Food Porn

No travel blog would be complete without some pictures of food porn. Here's a general guide on how to shoot food pictures, and more in-depth, but understandable, tips on the iso - aperture - shutter speed triumvirate of photography.

One thing about packing up and leaving is that we won't have the luxury of hanging out in our kitchen and making food. I'm sure we'll still make things on occasion, but as any home cook knows, everything is off when one does not have the knife, pan or heat source one is used to. The product turns out below your standards and the enjoyment of production is greatly diminished. Yeah, that's my (future) rationale for eating out all the time.

These are some pictures taken with a newer, but low-end camera. Minimal post-processing with Picasa, a photo organizational tool from Google that has basic, and easy to use, editing functions.

Easy Ceviche

Spicy flounder someone else made

Butter = flavor
