Location
I took this picture at a friend's house in Sammamish, Washington, US.Time
The picture was taken late afternoon, when we setup the grill preparing for some barbecue dinner.Lighting
When the short ribs started sizzling on the grill, the color was just beautiful. I tried different angels and settings trying to capture that sizzling feeling on teh beef.Equipment
I was using Nikon D80 with 50mm/1.8 lens, handhold, nature light when taking this picture.Inspiration
I always like taking food pictures that inspire people's appetite. And a nice short ribs on the grill seems perfect for summer.Editing
Yes, I used Photoshop element 14 to improve the white balance and contrast.In my camera bag
I usually go around with Nikon D80 and 35mm/1.8 or 50mm/1.8 for street shooting, with Sony RX100 as my backup camera.Feedback
When taking food pictures without studio setting, the light is very important to bring out the nature of the dish. Try different angles to find the best position, where the light is bright but not too strong making the food color blend.
