I wish I had a macro lens for up-close-and-personal food shots but for now I’ll have to settle with getting in as close as I can with what I’ve got. I used a smaller aperture (f/4.5) so that I would have a greater depth of field. A greater depth of field means that more of the photo is in focus. Too much bokeh can actually get distracting when it comes to close ups on food.

I actually took the time to make some homemade kim bahp today for lunch. Deceptively filling these things are!
