Slammers

These images are from our pictorial for Slammers for their rebranding marketing. They have cornered the market on sliders or mini-burgers. In photography the smaller the items, the harder it becomes to shoot them properly. These burgers took some time to prepare and shoot because when you go smaller, flaws become magnified when captured by the camera. Another problem you will encounter is the limited depth of field because your camera is closer to the subject.  You shoot on F18 or higher but suffer diffraction  which means softer images or you pull back the camera but you get a smaller image on the frame. Or you can get really technical and bracket  a series of focus points on a rail system, then combine the sharpest parts on post. I opted for focus bracketing hence i got images with all parts, front to back, in sharp focus. Yes, photography, specially today, is not just art, it's technology driven too.
