Thanks for that, I'll have a look at the link.

I know I haven't been around for quite a while but work etc and plenty of food photography has gotten in the way. Just wondering if any of you could recommend a relatively inexpensive and very compact artificial lighting solution for food photography. As I do most of my work in the evenings I...

It's a crop (second batch, first pic).

Really lovely shots. The first one is my favourite.

So how's this without the plate?

Ahh well this isn't exactly what most people think of as a gateau. Gateau Breton is a very buttery shortbready biscuit cake originating from Brittany.

Couldn't get the aperture any lower with that lens. Have retaken this using a tripod - look any better? Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15) Aperture: f/5.7 Focal Length:85 mm ISO Speed: 200 and ... Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10) Aperture: f/5.7 Focal Length:85 mm ISO Speed: 200

I did take some without the plate for comparison: Settings were for this photo: Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10) Aperture: f/5.7 Focal Length: 85 mm ISO Speed: 200 And for the first one: Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10) Aperture: f/5.7 Focal Length: 75 mm ISO Speed: 200 No tripod - yes I know I should...

LOL Very true atm. I really like that.

It would be better without the bar but I love the effect.

Here's hoping things are improving ;) Gateau Breton with Rhubarb & Black Current Compot: As always I'd love your feedback.

I sharpened the image as you said Tiler, I think it looks much better. Does it to you?

That helps loads Tiler, thank you.

I see what you mean about the cup being out of view, I'll have another go with that shot tomorrow. Tiler what is it about the background colour you don't like? Too bright, overpowering? I am sharpening in PP but only using 'auto sharpen' - another area for me to practice.

Home Made Chocolate Tea Cakes: For anyone not in the mood for chocolate how about a nice cup of tea and an oat biscuit? I'm not sure about the teacake shot but am rather pleased with the tea and biscuits. All opinions welcome.:)
