Clara over at I [heart] cuppycakes has inspired me to enter a photo into Does My Blog Look Good in This. It’s a great event that highlights food photography. Since the photo has to come from a blog post in the previous month, I only have a few choices. These are my favorite 3 from last month. Please let me know which one you think I should submit. Thanks for the help.

What a great post! So informative! I have a Nikon D40x but have still not read the entire manual! I will try this this week as many of my pictures are taken at nighttime too.
This is an awesome installment. I have the D60 and am still learning by playing with it. Excellent tutorial, thanks so much!
Great info! Unfortunately my Canon doesn’t have a flash adjustment, but tomorrow I’m going to post about the world’s cheapest diffuser I made for it… can’t wait for the next topic! 🙂
I am clearly almost 7 months late commenting on this post but I just came across it 🙂 I wanted to share a little trick with you. (My photographer friend shared it with me) All you need is your camera and a white paper plate. Just cup the paper plate right in front of the pop up flash (which should be popped up obviously)and take the picture. The paper plate bounces the light up and off the ceiling preventing the horrible washout of items in the front and darkening of items in the back. I also find that setting up a white piece of poster board right behind the object and then using this little bounce trick really helps. Happy picture taking!
