Slashfood has just detailed the Michael
Ray Foodblog. It is not really a blog - no comments/feedback, chronological organisation etc etc. But what the href="http://www.foodportfolio.com/blog/index.html#blog">Michael Ray Foodblog offers though is a collection of
interesting articles covering the capture of food photographs.

There is a set of
images covering the set-up for a food shoot - more tree/less tree, pot plant/no pot plant. Each image has comments
on the photographers thought process with each prop tweak or lighting change. The basics are covered well including href="http://www.foodportfolio.com/blog/food_photography/bigger_not_better.html">lighting

setups to reveal texture
and the related subject of sheen and reflections.

On the same theme, Still Life With, (and this is a proper blog) offers plenty of tips on food photography
tips. Recent posts cover selecting a tripod, href="http://stilllifewith.com/2006/04/11/hdr-photography/">HDR photography and href="http://stilllifewith.com/2006/04/04/composition-make-a-stack/">Composition. I actually prefer this blog to
the Michael Ray one.
