I think the single biggest complaint I hear from fellow bloggers is dissatisfaction over the review of our pictures from the various aggregator sites (i.e., Foodgawker, Tastespotting & Tasteologie). Â These sites are great sources to draw traffic to our individual sites if our pics of our food is posted. Â At times, it seems that their reasons for not accepting our pics are wrong. Â While, I generally agree with their assessments, there are certainly times that I have been frustrated as well. Â How can a picture be grainy when I can see the details and lines and texture of my food. Â How can the lighting be overexposed on one site and accepted on another site.
The other point I wish to emphasize is that it does not have to cost an arm and a leg to take great photos. Â A good camera and good lens is pretty important but props can be bought inexpensively and made from everyday items in your house. Â So the below link provides some great ideas on items in your house that you can use to take better photos. Â Also, if you click on the banner at the right – Tasty Food Photography, you can buy a very inexpensive and extremely useful ebook on the subject. Â It is the information I started with and no many others have as well. Â I truly hope this helps any and all of you that are frustrated on want to take your blogs to the next level.
