When life gives you salad, make photos, as the slightly modified saying goes. My main assignment today was to photograph salad at a downtown restaurant called Leaf. I don’t do food photography very often if at all so the photo below is my best attempt at it using a single light. The second photo is of the restaurant’s owner. In that one you can see my biggest bad habit this summer: using a crop lens on a full-frame camera body. That’s the result at 17 mm.

I want that salad… in my belly. Right now.
