pleasurepalate: though it's a bit expensive, if you combo the Nikon D40 and the new 50mm AF-S lens, you could have the most compact, but powerful low-light camera out there. Cost about $800, but hey, you'll get superior photos :)

Love the photos. My little digital camera just can't handle low lighting!

jonbaik: yeah they were taken with my D50 and my Sigma 24-60mm F2.8 lens. I'm planning on getting a 50mm F1.8 for some even lower light stuff. <BR/><BR/>matt: yeah, I think the food overall looks better than it tastes.<BR/><BR/>aaron: it's still a two person show, but it didn't seem too busy. You're right though, if the place were busier it would definitely be tough.

I came when it was a <A HREF="http://fooddestination.blogspot.com/2008/05/yakitori-bincho.html" REL="nofollow">yakitori</A>. The chef's wife asked us not to take pictures of the kitchen, though I was free to photograph the food. I was wondering what this place looked like since they reopened. Looks pretty much the same. Have they hired another staff yet? The two-person show seems so stressful,

I said god damn, that looks good. Too bad Redondo is way off my radar...

Gastronomer: very true. Photos can play tricks on you. Those chicken meatballs with lotus actually weren't that bad, just that the photo makes them look extra delicious. Deceiving...<BR/><BR/>Loving Annie: those chicken meatballs with daikon was easily the next best dish. I could eat those for lunch every day and be happy.

That's the funny thing about good looking food photography---it sometimes doesn't convey when something isn't delicious. Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a lens that took ugly pictures of gross food and amazing shots of tasty treats??
