Changing it up a bit today with some mouth-watering, lip-smacking goodness… food porn. Food is undoubtedly one of the most challenging things to shoot and something I’ve yet to fully tackle, but at times you will be presented with food that is so damn attractive that the shots will be great, even if you’re like me and have no idea what you’re doing. 
More photos, tips, and some food photo links after the jump…

No, it isn’t Mars. The picture you see above is an area called Jumbo Rocks in Joshua Tree National Park just before sunrise. I recently had the opportunity to visit the park, and WOW… It really is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen. It has a huge variety of scenery and sprawls across a huge area where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet. If you ever have a chance to go, I highly recommend it.
