What sort of camera are you using, Raven_Morris? It looks like it might be a DSLR to me with the blurred background.
It is a Sony NEX-5 with the 18 to 55mm lens and latest firmware. It has a sensor that is a bit lower quality than a full DSLR sensor, but far above your average point-and-click model. I love the camera, despite its poor firmware and some annoying quirks.
I thought the bright reddish orange leaves outside would make a nice backdrop for the food.
Edit: I should have mentioned that the camera is considered as a mirrorless DSLR, so it's much smaller than a standard DSLR (the lens is heavier than the body). No mirror means no viewfinder, only a digital display. But the display is 640x480, so it's nice and clear for reviewing the image before and after taking it.
