I hate when I make something so incredible but somehow the photos don’t turn out great. The recipe sounds wonderful though and the photos are actually pretty good, too.

I have a hard time with point and shoots too. I think it’s because I refuse to use a flash on most pictures and I’m not able to adjust the settings myself. Everything comes out blurry and icky looking!

The dip sounds delicious!

Mmmm, love Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I think I might have all the ingredients on hand to make this today - yum. As far as the camera, there are definite benefits to having both the point-and-shoot and the "big girl" camera. I've gotten some fabulous shots with the point-and-shoot. I think, for me, it was just a question of playing with the settings until I found the one that worked best. For me, always macro and always outside (when weather permits). The railing of the deck at our old house was the home to many good pictures. .-= Cate O'Malley´s last blog ..Chocolate Chip Dream Bars =-.

This dip sounds delicious – I love spinach artichoke dip but it tends to be too greasy, so a lighter version is great!

I use a point-and-shoot to take all my food photos, and at first it was awful. I thought it was the camera, but it turns out it was me not knowing how to use my camera! I have a few tips: 1) use a tripod, if you have one – I don’t so I just balance the camera on whatever is nearby – like a canister or even a can of Pam! Sometimes I have to take about 10 photos to get one good one because it just focuses on what it wants to, and without flash it’s easier to blur the photos. 2) I put the camera on the macro setting (which looks like a little flower on my camera) and 3) turn off the flash (which is a little downward lightening bolt with an X through it). Those few things really made my pictures much better. Since you have a fancy camera you may already have done these things, in that case disregard
