Food Photography and Styling Tips
Photography gear is fascinating.
Most people day dream about having a better camera. Or a better lens. Or that fancy filter. No! not you? that awesome sleek tripod perhaps? ok wait… it is perhaps a camera bag?
But I have to tell you that there is something out there that is much better.

Dinner and Photograph?
It’s everywhere. You’ve seen it on twitter. You’ve seen it on facebook. You’ve also seen this in newspapers.

That made me think. What if there was a group project where everyone could participate. Yes! You. The bulb went on.

Feedback is important for growth. If you want to get better at something, it is important to practice and practice and practice. But with that, it is also important to get some feedback. Feedback helps you to understand different perspectives and helps you open your mind to new possibilities.
This year is almost over. I started reviewing how this year went for me and if I achieved all my goals this year. This year, one of my primary goal was to grow the Food Photography Blog and attain a certain level of readership. We are nearing 10,000 monthly readers on this blog. On the other hand, I was a little short on number of outstanding photos that I should have taken this year.
A reader sent an email with the following question –
Neel, I have a beginner DSLR and would like to upgrade to advanced DSLR. However, I am also thinking of buying a Mac (and Lightroom 3). I don’t have budget to buy both, what would you recommend I should buy first?
Jamie.
