food with steam

[lastboltnut]

Ok, will think of a way to get smoke. thanks:thumbsup:

you can use cigarette smoke, but need to shoot many shots cos of trial and error, and it is also bad for you health.

Erm....did you reply to a wrong thread?? There is no foto here and not to mention theme....

No,I just think it as a photo

 

[bowwow]

Back to the point, since you say chemical and PS, so really cannot shoot with piping hot food to capture the smoke? Thanks

not entirely true....

yes, I know it workable on certain conditions, if it is so easy, why need professional liao?

there is another alternative
but i suggest u shoot behind acrylic sheet.


for food cooked over a grill, turn up the heat and drip some oil and let it smoke...

aahh.. but if u not careful u create more flames than smoke....

i find acrylic not neccessary.

not much chance of that happening if you know how to plan your shot..

i know u are a pro. i am just suggesting those options and concerns. if u already are well aware of it, there is no need to prove it to me.

not proving anything to u but shooting behind acrylic may cause reflections and glare, depending on the setup and environment.

Speaking about enhancing steam, a simple solution, use a darker background at the upper end ie above the food. This can be created by using shadows.

Using shadows..? Care to give an example of a setup that does that..

Hi,

Anyone has any advise on how to capture piping hot food with steam spout out? I see those food pics with smoke in the foodcourt are very fake......

TIA

Make sure the steam fogs up your filter first?

Sure, let me get the graphics and post it here again .

OK, here we go, use this setup :

To get this with dark top :

This will allow the steam to pop out a little more

make sure your food is hot, take the picture of it in a very cold aircon room.

with adequate condensation you can visualize steam much better.
