Thanks! So glad you found this useful! I prefer to decide on my aperture and then adjust the shutter speed that is necessary.

Regan,
There are no dumb questions! I would need to know what your camera is, but on DSLRS if you are shooting in Manual mode, you have control over both the aperture and the shutter speed at the same time.

Marci, For this set up there was no lighting set up. I was just photographing the grill outside. In the future I can include more lighting sets ups.

I would love it if you posted more photos with the settings you use. That to me is really interesting and a solid way that I can try to replicate.

Okay… I’ll f/u one dumb question with another one. From what I can tell, you can’t control both aperture AND shutter speed at the same time on my camera. Does that sound right?

Very useful food photography post! I really like the shutter speed scale you provided–before I knew I could increase/decrease exposure, I used to adjust the aperture according to the shutter speed–such a blurry mess!

Okay… so here is the dumb question from a novice photog… where on earth do I change the shutter speed? Yikes! That’s been one thing that I’ve always had on manual… and I get a ton of camera shake with anything other than my tripod. Help?

Great post as always Taylor!
