The camera is a sweetie. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. It's supposed to be the same as a Leica, just with Panasonic badging. I take a lot of pictures and adjust the white balance now and again to get just what I want.
I think the second picture is one of the best I've taken of food, but mostly due to the totally random/organic "placement" of all the marinade bits on the lamb. Those combined with the glistening juices running freely, the char, and somehow I cooked it perfectly (quite by accident, I assure you...love the grill), made the scene.

i just got a lumix..older model. but it has a food pic setting. i'll play a bit and really get it right.
for all the camera rooks out there, turn off the flash..and try to use natural lighting. a north facing window providing the light will blow you away. that is the way they did portraits before the days of flash..
