The photographs were lit with the natural lighting that was available at the time of shooting. However, since the areas and times where we were shooting did not provide much lighting, we had to use other tools. One of the tools we used was a light stick, the other was the light reflectors. The major difference I saw between the f/1.8 and f/8 photos was the focus points. I believe that for food photography, the f/1.8 aperture works best, seeing that the food is meant to be the main focus of the shoot. Keeping the food in major focus is key to the food photography. If I were to do this again, I would try to find a location that allowed for more nature lighting to reach the food I'm photographing; I would also find a prettier location to have in the background of the food.

Key points I learned about food photography was the value of a good angle. While the aperture is a key component of a food photography, the right angle can make the food much more appetizing to the viewer. My notes also talked about lighting for the shot, and the fact that booth out=r food shoots did not have much natural lighting due to the weather conditions, I also learned the key importance of lighting in a shot. Overall, the food photography was a great experience, the food truck special shoot being the best way to learn on-site food photography.

Bird's Eye View Enchiladas Medium Depth of Field

Aperture f/8
Shutter Speed 1/180th of a second
ISO 250
While a shallow depth of field can get the one enchilada in focus, the medium D.O.F. makes it much more real because it gets them all alone.  I believe the medium D.O.F. will make the food more appealing to the photo viewer.

I love the detail that I can get with the medium D.O.F. because it really got all of the components of the Hole-in-1. Brandon's hands in focus also make the photo look much more genuine.

I love this photo because the color of the tea contrasts with the color of the daisies. I loved the way I put the tea in a mason jar because it gave it a garden feel to it.

The fact that the D.O.F is medium allows the details of every tater tot to come out. I like this photo because it shows the tots in a setting where they're fresh out of the fryer.

This photo of the food handoff is only able to come out as well as it did with a medium D.O.F.  I like this photo because the D.O.F. makes it come out so well.

The knishes are pictured well with medium D.O.F and can gather the details of the potato. The medium D.O.F. also captures the setting well.

The shallow depth of field works best to maintain the tea as the focus. It also works to making sure the hand is seen but not focused on too much

I think the placement of the tater tots on the wood give it a nice home-y feel. The ketchup cup and few tots placed on the wood help make the photo look more presentable.
