I'm using Nikon D3100 to do shooting for my menu project, will like to share my experience to do the shooting, i actually not so good in photography and don't have lighting instrument but only have a camera, i do the shooting inside the restaurant's next to the big window, want to make use the sunlight as main light, use tracing paper to block the sunlight on the window glass making softer light effect, use my son's day light table lamp as small light source, make use the deco from the restaurant, try more speed and angle, the result of the photo is just what i want.
Hope you guy's understand what i'm said.
