Hello from Sixpersimmons, freelance food writer/imager (tea&coffee)

[sixpersimmons]

Hi all,

This is only the second time I've joined an on-line forum of any kind. I'm a published food writer. My interest today is to increase my skill in food photography. I use Nikon D80, but do not own a macro lens, as yet. Any suggestions for good all-around macro for close food shots in natural light (mostly) at low/medium price point would be appreciated. In some cases, I will be able to get in tight; in others, such as stir-frying; tandori oven baking or the making of crepes on a hot griddle, I would have to keep safely back from the heat and grease. Any suggestions?

InaGlo,
Thanks for your suggestion that I ask my question in a specific forum. Of course, I should. I stopped by your gallery. I really liked your bird images. Interesting: soft, sensitive, but accurate and beautifully-detailed. Nice if you can do it!
