Problem is, I usually get way too impatient at restaurants and end up giving up and eating. :)<BR/><BR/>Glad you stopped by...I checked out your website -- beautiful photos!Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-42571892852743603292008-10-24T08:33:00.000-05:002008-10-24T08:33:00.000-05:00Hmmmmm, I'm really really hungry now.

I'll have to see if I can do the same tomorrow. :)<BR/><BR/>For taking pictures in a restaurant without a flash there's a couple of tips you can try...<BR/><BR/>- Steady hands - When the flash is off you have to keep your camera absolutely still. Try using an empty glass, upside-down to act as a makeshift tripod.<BR/><BR/>- Take advantage of the lighting around you - Such as table candles and see if you can have your dining partner tilt the plate (if it doesn't disturb the presentation) towards the light and your camera.<BR/><BR/>- Increase the light sensitivity of your camera - Most digitals have a setting called ISO. Increasing that number will help in lower light situations.<BR/><BR/>Bon appetit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-44192486764135928012008-10-23T09:07:00.000-05:002008-10-23T09:07:00.000-05:00shanna - thank you, thank you!ryan - macro, all th...shanna - thank you, thank you!<BR/><BR/>ryan - macro, all the way. it's the setting with the flower on it. i'm still trying to figure out how to take good pictures in dark restaurants without using flash. murdo suggested bringing my own light source when eating out. i don't think i want to go there just yet. let me know if you figure it out...also, don't know about this weekend. this is the first i've heard of it.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-56718050880266720872008-10-22T23:41:00.000-05:002008-10-22T23:41:00.000-05:00what settings do you use to take the up close food...what settings do you use to take the up close food pictures? i have the same camera and have been trying to figure it out.
