Portrait of a half eaten cookie

[Bretm1]

I met a food photographer a long time ago and he told me how paint and glue (for milk) are often used to create colors better for food photography. This one is all natural. I did this with no flash, no tripod, natural light plus overhead incandescent light bulbs. This was done with a Canon SX200IS super zoom pocket camera. I had it on manual, it was shot at 100 ISO, f 3.4, 1/40 s, 6.1mm focal length(36mm equivalent for 35mm) I then cropped and sharpened. I didn't tweak much else. I wish the cookie was a little sharper. I was REALLY EXCITED about this shot but then the sugar high wore off. I wanted it to be appetizing to the viewer. It really makes me appreciate the work that goes into this type of shot, and the equipment used.
