Capture: Better Food Photography, in reply to Hebe,
I get the impression that Chch is marginal for growing figs. I know one lady who gets a good crop, but she has them in a very sunny spot and she's a bit of a magician with plants. I've never been crazy about fresh figs, but then I've also sampled a lot that were under-ripe or just not very good! :-)

Damn, can't join the club, I love fejoas!! As long as they are perfectly ripe. Oh, the fragrance! :-)

To make the Tomato on top of the can look more pleasing and glowing one of the young assistants put one of the little red christmas lights inside the Tomato and turned on the power.
This technique also works for glasses of possibly-poisoned milk :-)

Ferrier Fountain in moonlight.
That’s a lovely shot. So bridal!! And the light rippling through the leaves, mmm. This could equally go in the night-photography thread. :-)

Sometimes, food is more fun when it has been in the fridge too long.
Kinky food-porn. ;-)

The other thing is that food photography doesn’t age well at all, there’s always subtle differences in how the food is presented (tablecloths, wooden tables, plates, cutlery) that make anything out of season stick out like a sore thumb.
Interesting, what spoils professional shots can make amateur ones: looking at old photos of birthday and Christmas tables is an exercise in nostalgia; the style of food, the tablecloth, the crockery, the decorations, etc.... :-)

The nikau-like thing is about the same height as my cat, I don't know what it is, but I think it's an exotic.
