That could have been my boxer peaking in the deck window. Love it. I should set up a simple white box reflector for my food shots, but my family goes a little nuts when I take pictures of food anyways.

Guys this is so helpful. Not only because you shared your set up which is quiet basic but also because its such a relief to know you get hungry and dont aways look for a perfect shot! I can’t really eat food cold (as many ofcourse) and after a few shots I really cant take it any more. I’m slowly learning to follow simple set up and a trusted one, tht works most time, instead of trying to be a food stylist which i certainly am not!

Thank you! We created the shallow depth of field by opening up the aperture. Here's our tutorial on how aperture affects images.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of photography and your delicious recipes. I’m definitely going to try the endamame soup. It’s refreshing to hear your down-to-earth philosophy on blogging and to see that it’s really true. I live in Huntington Beach – hopefully, our paths will cross one day.

Thanks for tweetin me.
I work as a professional chef, and usually have little time to take pictures, so when I do it is usually only when the light comes through my kitchen. I am also guilty of owning a pretty cheap water resistant camera.
Great food photo tips!

Thanks

Don’t know how I missed this one. I’m so glad you posted the picture of how you achieved the shot. For non-pros like me, it’s so eye opening to see “behind the curtain” and get to understand how easy it is to achieve great things with a few key tools.

I forsee antique dealers all across our land getting inundated with requests for doors now. I’ll be first in line.

While there’s commonality among all natural light shooting, I think there’s a huge difference between living in California or Florida, and living in a part of the country where it’s dark in the winter, sometimes even during the day, and the day is short. I find myself using lights much more than I’d like to. The alternative is cooking everything in the morning — not practical or compatible with work!
