Thanks for the video and the tip… I try to shoot in natural light but that’s not always possible = )

It’s good to see you guys in real life action. It’s been a pain cooking and shooting in daylight this winter. I have tried night photos, but decided they looked like garbage, so I have taken the extra time to prepare the food during the day. Honestly it’s waaaay too much work! Thanks for showing me it can be done at night right. This will save me some serious time later.

Chelsey- Like everyone else, we cook at night and don’t want to spend too much time in setting up the shot. The speedlights are great cause they allow us to share what we cook at night. Hope you get to play with speedlights soon.

I love your photography. I read all the photography posts I can but unfortunatly all I have to work with right now is a cheap point and shoot.

What a great tutorial :) I see we are taking photos exactly the same way… most of the time I’m not getting nice day light here in London as well so for me speed lights are life savers.
