Photography Tips for the Point & Shoot Food Blogger

Hello, my name is Carrie and I am a food blogger who does not own a DSLR camera.
I also happen to be one of the few food bloggers still on Blogger, so there is that too. 
But I have always been of the frame of mind, if it is working for you then why scrap it or pay more money for something else? ;)

I am not saying that I will never own a DSLR. Eventually I will.  I know that owning one will at some point become a necessary investment for my blog's growth, and I will take that plunge when that time comes.
But in the meantime, I have figured out how to work my point & shoot to near DSLR quality. Some of my food photography has been deemed Foodgawker-worthy, and some of my recipe photos have made appearances in online publications for Cosmopolitan and Parade.
I will take that as some proof that I have to be doing something right with my food photos. ;)

When it comes to food blogging, your recipe photos have the ability to take you to the next level with your blogging.  The photos are important, folks.  Food blogging, cooking, eating, everything that involves food is so visual. Look at all of the more popular food bloggers that you love and follow- what do their recipe photos look like? They are clear, bright, large, and enticing, right?
