Digital Photography Wash Fruits and Vegetables First SUMMARY: Make food photos look better with glistening fruit and vegetables.   If you need to take photographs of fruits or vegetables, perhaps for stock photos, make sure you wash the food first. Not only is this hygienic, but it can help with the overall photograph. Don't completely dry the fruits and vegetables before taking a photo, as water has a glistening effect, making the food look fresher. You may also want to use a soft diffusing flash on the food to accentuate this effect.   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Digital Photography page.
