nytraveler--OK, then don't take food pictures. Won't bother us at all if you don't.

Maybe because her post wasn't really about HER taking pictures of food, but rather reminders of what those who DO should be aware of.
Helpful post.

"nytraveler--OK, then don't take food pictures. Won't bother us at all if you don't."
Yes, and it would be nice if those that DO take pictures of their food wouldn't bother the rest of us either. OK?

Oh my, things are getting touchy???

Have you all seen the food pics on www.airlinemeals.net?

When I went to Comerç24 in Barcelona and got the tasting menu, I wanted to take pictures of everything, as did my dining partner. So, we talked to the waiter and he told us to come back to this little antechamber and take pictures of the dishes. This worked well because we were out of everyone's way, had access in one fell swoop to all the dishes being served, and the lighting was easy to calibrate.

A close friend of mine (you can check her work at www.zarmik.com) does food pictures and when she is in a kitchen she says that the key is to have everyones permission and no one's attention, set the lighting to the plate color or whatever takes up the most photo space (white means lower the light), and fire away. I wish I could put up my Comerç pics, but you will just have to trust me that her advice worked.

I hope there will also be a ban on snapping photos of airline food.

What you're given to eat on airplanes doesn;t count as food - and people can take thousands of pictures of it if they want.

That's hardly the same thing as disturbing the dinners of who knows how many people who have gone to a nice restaurant and spent who knows how much to have a relaxing evening - not be subject to the antics of people who should know better.

(It's dinner - not a public performance - and I'd like to see people do that openly in a theater - before being escorted out. And those little cell cameras are bad enough - but at least less visible if the user has any sense of civility.)

I would think most airlines would forbid the photographing of the "food" they serve. Couldn't those photographs be used in a court of law against them?

LOL

I agree, Neo..I think that site is a riot. Both the pics and descriptions and ratings of some of those airline meals. Not sure which one is my favorite yet.

I'd love to have pictures of the restaurant interiors more than the plated food itself. I rarely get to take those photos since I agree that it can be disturbing to other diners. There are SOME times, though, where one can take such a photo without flash and without disturbing other diners.

Well, I really don't care about the airline food photos themselves. It's the camera flashes which are disturbing.
