rkacruiser Posted June 10, 2016 #26 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) On some cruises, I take lots of food photos while on other cruises, very few, sometimes only for special dinners. I have experimented taking pictures with flash and without and usually get better quality pictures without the flash. This is particularly true if I remember the proper setting to use!

Elaine5715 Posted June 11, 2016 #27 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I take both food and drink pictures so I can rub it in those left behind. Isn't that what Facebook was invented for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted June 12, 2016 #28 Share Posted June 12, 2016 My husband enjoys taking pictures of food and and my only request is that he takes the picture of my plate of food first so that I can start eating because that's what I get enjoyment from.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted June 12, 2016 #29 Share Posted June 12, 2016 A completely harmless activity - which actually gives you the opportunity to tease a tablemate if you are fortunate enough to have a compatible group. Additionally, the galley staff might put in that bit of extra effort if they know there is that level of appreciation, so I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 12, 2016 #30 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The ship's photographers come around taking pictures of us at dinner. No reason why people couldn't take pictures of their food if they wish! :) We did have a man once (anytime dining) who wanted to take pictures of everyone's plate before it was touched. Have to admit ... we were happy not to be having dinner with him again. :rolleyes: ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VennDiagram Posted June 12, 2016 #31 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I personally think that is completely tacky. However, as long as you do not interfere with my dining experience by holding up the buffet line or by moving things around the table to take your pictures or by using flask, I have no problem with it at all. I can't imagine why anyone would want to take lots of pictures of what they are eating but that is your business. DON Every trip I take, I write a blog that I share with a few friends who for one reason or another are not able to travel. The food porn is always a highlight for them. When they know in advance that I'm taking a trip, food porn is always at the top of the list of requested photos. That's why I take pictures of my meals.

KnightsFan Posted June 12, 2016 #32 Share Posted June 12, 2016 As long as it doesn't inconvenience others, go right ahead. Only time it irks me is when somebody prevents me from getting my food, or eating it. If you're sharing the table with me I'll even offer some advice on how to set things up so they look the best.

sexyaznboy Posted June 14, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted June 14, 2016 That's great. I think the general consensus is that it's ok, as long as one does blind your neighbours with a flash. I love going back and seeing and remembering the food I ate. For those who think it's silly and tacky, you also have a right to express an opinion as well. I respect that. I hope that I don't get any Judgy looks from my fellow diners! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin'Christine Posted June 14, 2016 #35 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I often take photos of my food in the main dining room. I have never received any negative comments or stares when doing so. Lots of people do the same too. Have fun and do what you like. No one will mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlen Posted June 14, 2016 #36 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I like taking photos of food, especially when I've never had that dish before. I also take pictures of drinks. And menus. And kitchens -- I even have photos of food photos from the galley tour! (There are photos on the walls showing what each dish is supposed to look like.) A separate idea, which I certainly hope no one would judge you about: cabin photos are best done "before" (pristine and organized) and "after" (before you pack) as well as "during." Many people take food photos, and if anyone makes a comment, they're probably either dieting or grouchily hungry. Evernote, my favorite notetaking app, even makes a special app just for food, Evernote Food. I found it easier to make entries in a travel journal if I made them at mealtimes. Then I'd add in what else I'd done. it might be ironic, but most of my entries have a photo of dessert and a description of my gym and track activities...

Aquahound Posted June 14, 2016 #37 Share Posted June 14, 2016 My opinion...take all the photos you want. Just, please don't use the flash. Camera flashes in your peripherals while eating is a little annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
