Yesterday's supplement in the Press & Journal had a review of the Il Padrino restaurant in Brora, a 2-page spread illustrated with lots of photos by yours truly and with the photo of the garlic mussels full-page on the cover.

These photos were done well in advance, way back at the beginning of December in fact. Nearly everything was shot using ambient light with the camera on a tripod. For all of the food photos (and lots more not shown here) I did multiple exposures at f/3.5, f/8 and f/22 so I could later pick the ones with the most attractive depth of field. The staged shot of the customers being served was hand-held and lit by a big strobe with a shoot-through umbrella.
