I missed yesterday's photo shoot (crazy day at the office). After the failed focus of the basil flower, I tried a similar shot today - of one of my favorite topics: food. Tammy and I used a Groupon to Leonidas. I learned two things this morning: (1) pay attention to details and (2) work on focusing to get a sharper subject. The chocolate (dark chocolate with orange ganache) of interest is not sharp - and the lettering "Leonidas" is facing away from the camera. Oh well. At least I turned the espresso cup to have the handle in the photo.
I'm shooting with a wide-open aperture, giving a very small depth-of-field. Next similar photo, I'll close the aperture slightly to have a little leeway in depth. Wishing for a macro lens.
50mm, f/1.8, 1/320, 400
