Helpful and down-to-earth advice. The splurge flash is a great idea-very frustrating never being able to take pictures of dinner. Thanks for sharing the secrets to your delicious photos!

I especially like that you don't edit your photos (much). Or use fluff as props for your pictures. Thanks for being genuine and taking the snootiness out of food blogs. Such a breath of fresh air.

I am just starting to become involved in food photography and found this post insightful. Your blog has been inspiring for me to become more creative with food styling. Thank you. I have the Canon 400D, 50mm f1.8 and a cheap Vivitar flash on a stand and umbrella using cheap radio frequency remote flash triggers. Hi Deb, Virginia from above sent me your way.

When I take a photo with it, maybe a fifth of the shot is in focus rather than the majority of the shot. I was looking through your photos and they are always sharp and in focus, but I can't figure out how to do that with the sigma!

I'm not much of a troubleshooter; If you are concerned it's not working right, do bring it back to where you got it. There are many things that can cause blurriness but yes, a tripod (if it was due to an unsteady hand) will help. Hi Elissa — Sorry you’re having trouble with the lens.
