What’s with the title? I see recipes everywhere!
Okay, so you caught me in a slight exaggeration. I think cooking is most fun and innovative when you wing it. I’m just posting the ingredients I used and what I did with them to give you a starting point but I whole-heartedly encourage you to experiment and come up with your own recipes.
What kind of equipment/software are you using for your photos?
I’m using a Sony alpha 100 digital SLR with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. Translated: Sony’s cheapest digital SLR with a really nice “bright” lens that lets me shoot in relatively low light conditions. This along with the in-camera image stabilization let’s me hand hold the shots so I don’t need to use a tripod.
As far as lighting goes, I’m not big on flashes (especially the ones in the cameras), so I just use a cheapo Ikea table lamp that’s got a rice paper shade on it (diffuses the light) along with one of those “daylight” bulbs. I just ordered an external flash, so I’ll probably start playing around with that soon.
I shoot everything in RAW then the “magic” happens in Adobe Lightroom where I crop the photos, and adjust exposure, white-balance, etc.
