This image has a very special place in my heart as it was one of the very first shots I took when I found my calling as a food photographer. I was helping a friend of mine, who happens to a chef, plate a 11 course dinner and he asked to bring my camera so we could get some shots. I guess it was because I was the only one who had a "professional" style camera in the group. I did not know much about photographing food at the time and took several photos that evening in which my love for food photography began. As the evening progressed, the shrimp was asking to be shot, hence this image and a new passion ensued.

Taken with a Sony A 200 with a DT 18-70mm kit lens and no flash. 1/30 sec, f/5.6, iso 400, 35mm focal length.
