But equally there's no need to brandish a big SLR to get some respectable shots. If you ever need advice on a discreet camera with decent low-light performance drop me a line.Look Away Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124668596877845314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-3985984588961957472013-09-17T06:43:26.088+00:002013-09-17T06:43:26.088+00:00Chris, Don't be negative about your photograph...Chris, Don't be negative about your photography, although I am not a food photography but I feel these pictures reflects the deliciousness of the food.

The food will get COLD, idiots. I take one discrete, largely terrible snap with my Samsung IV, and I don't always get every dish. Not bothered. Don't want to be a pest.<br /><br />Like you, Chris, I feel the point of restaurant critiquing is to describe the food and the experience - not just present a scroll-through picture menu. I hugely enjoy your reviews and your photography is perfectly fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-63823699505131268492013-09-12T14:09:48.651+00:002013-09-12T14:09:48.651+00:00Style over substance in a few of these dishes.

It's kind of hard to demand that you buy an SLR (or a Canon G-class P&S at the very least) just to keep us satisfied reading a free review site.

It does exactly what it needs to in showing us what the dishes more or less look like. Anyway, I cant really see a way around the light issues in restaurants unless you started using some huge SLR with low noise levels at high sensitivities (or spend 6k on a Leica).<br /><br />Your words are more than descriptive enough :)Aproposofhttp://japhere.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
