Apricosa's Profile

Since starting my food blog almost a year ago, I have been using a point-and-shoot camera (Canon PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph) for all my photos, since this is the only camera I have. My results have been varied, but they have been solely dependent on the availability of natural lighting. This camera has a great macro setting!

Some nice results can be had with this camera with a little post-processing to bump up brightness and contrast:

But then there are ones taken with the same camera that I'm not so keen on, thanks to a lack of natural light:

While I'm hoping to get an SLR one of these days, a point-and-shoot camera has great capabilities!
