When I started the "At Home..." blog I quickly discovered that indoor photography and food/product photography is a whole 'nother animal. It's very difficult. I was really surprised at the difficulty in obtaining a decent shot. A light box helps but I've been too lazy to construct one. I hate flash and so I do my best to make sure there's plenty of light and hold the camera as steady as I can. The macro feature is helpful too. The fast lenses are insanely expensive. I've got a ton load of camera gear but I just can't bring myself to part with the dough required to get a quality fast lens. I use my mid-range Fuji S5000 for the indoor photoshoots.

It has a great macro feature built in. I need to learn to use a tripod too. I think there's lots of merit to learning to take better pictures. Lighting really is key, so if you want better pictures of food in your kitchen you may need to install bright lights or bring in a floor lamp to help out. You know that picture you took of asparagus on the grill? That is one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen! I really love my camera. It has a great macro feature built in.

Good times, good times. If the photos you have had on here already are before you really get a handle on your camera, I can't wait to see the ones when you do. I myself am surprised how much one can do with a camera without even reading the directions (I haven't learned mine yet either). Ah, the 80s. Good times, good times.
