Well, I’ve kind-of, sort-of fulfiled (or, at least, am on the road to fulfilling) my resolution of improving my photography.
Actually, that was among the first food shots I took with my new Nikon D-3000 DSLR. I’m having way too much fun obsessively reading about photography and taking photos of my unwilling cats. Next, mastering Photoshop and playing around with angles and such. It’s a ton of fun! You’ll see some reviews where I have used the DSLR– though I have to admit, I’m really quite uncomfortable just whipping out this HUGE CAMERA (well, huge compared to my old Nikon Coolpix) in restaurants, but I’ll get used to doing it surreptitiously… right?

You will. A 50mm f/1.8 will help (it’s a small lens w/ a large aperture you’ll need for shooting in low light.)
Congrats! But you should have bought a Canon.
Anyway, if you shoot RAW, that will help a LOT in terms of being able to make corrections where needed (a must for low-light like in restaurants.) For stuff at home, try side-lighting if you can. Ruhlman’s blog has some good stuff up about food photography lately. Though I’m not thrilled by that photographer’s style, her tips are solid. PW’s also got some great basics on her Photography section.
Yup! I bought one when I bought the camera. I intend to bug you– a lot.
