I just try to sit in a place where it is well lighted. Mostly I try to get window seat and in this case, I was right under the downlight in the cafe. I normally use an external flash. Although I have a pop-up flash on the camera, it is not powerful enough. I try to not use high ISO if I do not need to. As long as I can get 1/30 sec for food shot I am happy but of course the faster the better. The blurriness of your shots is likely due to camera shake. Get yourself a beanbag or a small tripod, that will help (I don't have one but will get one some day). If you have a mini tripod with your SD700, you can set your exposure time to as long as you want and the picture will come up sharp. Hope that helps. Hi MammaViv: Oh, I have no secrets.

I am "forced" to use the flash indoors and this results in the subjects being 'lighted' while the backgrounds are dark. And when I don't use the flash, all is blurry despite a higher ISO (and no tripod). However, I know of people using a higher ISO without a tripod and they still take gorgeous indoor pictures. Truly an amateur crying for HELP! :) Will you share your (photography) secret on how you manage to take pictures indoors and still retain the original colors (ie lighting)?

Wow, 19GBP for breakfast. I would have loaded up on it for the day :-D Mustard is also used for roast pork medallions, roast beef and sausages ( especially the Eastern European ones) and even on French Fries (or chips as they are called in the UK).

I like mixing a teaspoon-full in my mashed potatoes and spreading it in my egg sandwiches.

Just let me spread out my paper, bring me my food, and don't bother me for an hour. I have the same fetish for being left alone to read at breakfast!
