Pizza and light.
I like to photograph dinner.
In doing so last night, I had a moment of zen about light.
Overhead. (6400 ISO, 70mm, f/4, 1/90 sec.)
From the side. (3200 ISO, 70mm, f/2.8, 1/125 sec.)
Each frame has a similar exposure – not exact, but similar. I had to go to f/4 and increase the exposure by about 1/2 stop on the overhead to get the surface of the veggies sharp. And the 1/125 was a little too dark so I brightened it up about 1/2 stop in post. But still. Look at the difference in the light. The pizza did not move, nor did the lights.
Which do you prefer?

TOP! Colors are more vibrant!
Top one! I love the red and green!
Also, I’m hungry now…
I definitely like the top one. It’s more fun and you can see more detail. The bottom one has too short of a depth of field and the light isn’t flattering.
Hope that helps!
