I guess I think I don't! I try to do a bit of exercise here and there, but at the moment, I'd love to drop a few... SyL - For food photography, there are two lenses that I really find indispensible: the 50mm and the 100mm macro. My 50mm is the 1.4, which is fantastic but a little pricey. It's very fast, which means in addition to the studio, it's also the lens I like to take with me for shooting in restaurants, etc. However, if it's too much for your budget, the 50mm 1.8 is a great option too. The 100mm macro is a 2.8, so it's also pretty fast. Plus, it lets you focus super close to the subject. This is also a medium-priced lens, but I don't know of any cheaper options for it. For more on what I'm using, see <a href="http://stilllifewith.com/category/shooting/camera-gear/" rel="nofollow">the posts in this category</a>. Thanks! -L R – Thanks & LOL on the so slim part.

I would like to improve my food photo results. At the moment I am using Canon 350 D with lenses : EF-S 18-55 (kit) and 70-300 mm F4-5.6. I want to invest more on my lense collection, could please recommend the lense I should buy ? Thank you so much. Dear L,

That person shot for 5 hours to get it right.. Even if I tried and got it right.. :-) it would just be a knock off! I have never felt this way about a photo before (ok.. I feel that way about Ansel Adams.. but who doesnt) Its a great theme and I am sure there are other great shots that the SLW Flickr members will submit!

Thank you so much for sharing your very helpful tips, and your photos are absolutely LOVELY. Oh, and perhaps my only question for now is, how do you stay so slim with all that yummy food around?? :) I didn’t know where to leave a personal note, so…into the comment box it goes!
