    I liked your article. For such a broad topic you hit the important points.

    How to shoot food

    Michael,

    Nice article. Several things come to mind that I didn't notice on a fast reading:

    1) Difficulties of shooting food on location, especially in restaurants. The absolute necessity of scouting the location in advance to insure taht your equipment (especially available lenses) match the shooting space and distances available.

    2) Some discussion of when you want to shoo the real food and when and how and what to use for substitutes when the real thing is not the best choice.

    How to shoot food

    When I was a kid, "Quaker Oats" were purportedly shot from cannons, although this seems at odds with their pacifist philosophy...

    Umm...it was Puffed Rice and/or Puffed Wheat. And it was "Shot from guns".

    Why can I remember that cereal slogan from 35 years ago yet I can't remember what I went into the other room for?
