    Need Lens Suggestion 105mm

    The reason I want to do this myself is for the same reason that you have already mentioned..."there is more to shooting food than picking up a lens". We already have the food style or we wouldn't be selected for this article. We have twenty five years of experience dealing with "pro"...

    Need Lens Suggestion 105mm

    Water droplets close. We will be using a lot of the photos in a regional Wedding Magazine which will feature our food along with a storyline. They have to be publication quality, very tight and clean. We had a "pro" come in and spend hours shooting and we ended up with only two photos. What a...

    Need Lens Suggestion 105mm

    As it says in the desription. I am looking for a lens suggestion for shooting closeup food shots. Very tight and detailed. It has been suggested that a Nikon 105mm f2.8 might be the answer to my search. Do you all agree? Or am I overlooking an alternative solution?

    so ...if what I am hearing is correct, everyone is agreeing with the Rebel xt as the camera to go with. Is anyone thinking of a different camera? Fuzzybabybunny: I have never considered stock photos for the simple reason that we are a high end caterer with a very distinctive look. Astyle...

    Need a Camera & lens Suggestion for purchase

    maybe I just haven't found the right photographer yet, but I tried hiring a pro and came out with a few hundred dollars worth of crap. Since updating the web site is an ongoing process, I thought it would be best if I had a nice camera to keep things crisp and fresh. So if I wasn't going to go...

    Why don't restaurants use real hams and turkeys for sandwiches

    NO. Restuarants do what their clientel ask for. If the restuarant's marketing niche has been established as "pedestrian" food then they will price their menus for such, and will use product such as cold cuts. You have to admit that if a restaurant did "real" turkey sandwiches, then their...

    Why don't restaurants use real hams and turkeys for sandwiches

    Freezers cost money, electricity to run freesers cost money, Cooks to prepare, cook, chill, wrap, slice those hams..cost money. It has a limited shelf life in the freezer, so you run the risk of overproduction and then waste. It all comes down to being in business to make a profit. Don't...
