1. Dont overcrowd the shot

Dont try and capture too much in a single image, especially if its going to be cropped and uploaded to Instagram anyway. Focus on a key area, such as the sheen of an egg yolk^{1 or a steaks pink centre, but not so closely a viewer wont be able to tell what it is.}

2. Consider the lighting

Using a flash in a dim restaurant will bleach^{2 your food of any defining features and splashes of colour. A plate will always look better in natural light, but when sunshine is out of the question, make sure youre focused on using as much of the available light as possible, or try and use the shadow to your advantage.}

3. Keep it steady

4. Move things around

5. Consider using a proper camera
