Camera Frustration
I made some peanut butter cookies yesterday and they looked just as delicious as they tasted. The only thing was that when I went to photograph them the pictures came out either too dark or too flashy. And it happens every time that I take a picture of something I cook...no matter what I do, the pictures never do them justice. Oy vay...

If you're taking photos in a low light condition, set the camera up on something stable and take a long exposure shot.
Remember to take them during DAYLIGHT so you don't have to use the flash, which will no doubt blot out your cookies and make it look like the government men from E.T. are trying to take them away.
That being said, take off the flash (It should, sort of, look like a lighting bolt with a little circle around it that I'm MORE than certain should have a line crossing it, but it never looks that way to me). Just press that button until the bolt and circle come up.
Then just keep it running on auto (without the flash, like I said) to keep it in focus. Some daylight coming in from one side will make it look fancy, make sure to take the picture close up so all the crumbly goodness comes out AND quite possibly the auto focus will concentrate on the product and not the background.
There are was of reducing the depth of field so that only the cookies come out in focus and it looks all artsy like that other blog you like, but that's getting complicated.
