Jason and I tried some food photography last night and had several objectives in mind when starting out. We did not want the entire plate in focus and we wanted soft lighting. We selected the Canon 50MM 1.8 lens, from our two lens arsonal, because it would allow us to open up the apeture and have a shallow depth of field. Next we set up a canon 580exII speedlite in an Westcott Apollo Softbox. The speedlite is a hotshoe flash that you can put on your camera. Taking it off camera and putting it in a softbox makes the light softer and larger. Here is the image:
What I didn't like about the photo is the milk looks gray. I have some ideas why that would be and will try to have more on that later.
Here are some more from the shoot that didn't work so well because of mainly the persective and where I selected to focus:
