this is what I use for 90% of my food shots
I tend to shoot in Manual mode and shift the focus to close-up
For some shots, I use the Digital Macro setting.
I process the images in Adobe Lightroom and then Photoshop (with PhotoKit)
to create the edges and do the sharpening / drop shadow etc....
Nice, it does a really good job on your closeup shots. I have a D50, but no macro lens, so I can't quite get the closeups I want sometimes. I wonder if a nice point and shoot would be cheaper than a nice macro lens...
You have a really good eye also, which is the most important thing in taking photos.
Do you not like the sharpening abilities of Lightroom? Or are you just more comfortable with photoshop? I use love Lightroom, but I don't find photoshop as user friendly and have not put enough time into really learning how to use it.
