The Lab Magazine Des images gratuites pour vos publications, en toute légalité Un article extrait des archives de Thot Cursus a récemment attiré l'attention de nos lecteurs. Il s'agit de l'article intitulé "Banques d'images et d'icônes sous licences libres pour vos sites éducatifs", écrit par Denys Lamontagne, publié en avril 2009.

Accueil : Animeka An Introduction To Restaurant Food Photography Have you ever been assigned to take pictures of a chef’s creations in a restaurant? Photographing food on location at a restaurant is a very common assignment for a food photographer. I have an editorial client that sends me to 4 or 5 restaurants every month to take pictures of the dishes. Through these assignments, I have discovered that most restaurants are not designed with the photography in mind. They will often be very dark and have a myriad of light directions and color temperatures. In these situations, you will have to bring your own lighting gear. The Natural Light Look When I first set foot into a restaurant, the first thing that I look for is a large window like what is pictured above.

Here are my exact settings I apply to every image through my preset. [Download Dayley Booster Shot Preset] The second option, and one which I feel is even easier, is to go to your Library module.
No More Re-Composing: Use Your Camera’s Custom Functions I know that I am not the only one that runs into this issue. I set my focal point, get the focus that I want and go to take the shot, only to have my focus change when I re-compose. By going into your camera’s custom functions, you can set up your camera so that it will only focus when you hit the star button with your thumb. Since I only have a Canon, I can’t be sure that this process will be the exact same for Nikons.
