While clicking the pictures of food, it
is important to consider the angle of the subject. If the subject has height, and depth, then it is better to click it at angle of 0-20 degrees to show the depth of the
subject. But if it is flat dish like soup, clicking at 90 degres top-down can
give better images.
Today I made Spanish
egg omelet. Now Spanish omelet is stuffed with veggies and it looks like a
cake. Removing this picture from top, did not give any idea of depth of this
omelet.,
Later I cut out a small
traingular piece and then focussed on different angles to show the depth. A cut
piece of the omelet gave an idea of the depth of the subject and the light from
the back of the camera, we could see the
texture of the omelet more clearly.
I clicked one more
pictures from opposite direction and keeping the small triangular piece next to
the the larger one
Which one looks
better???
I took another set of
photographs with different angles of a pair of red-and-green Capsicums. I took
eighteen photographs from different angles and positions. After studying
different angles and the light effect, I like this one.
I went on photoediting
tool to adjust the light with filters and got this final picture.
What do you think?
Points to take home:
Notice the food
structure to decide on the angle
To check for noisy or
distracting background
