[thechat] Photography help

[Madhu Menon]

OK, I have a digicam - a Canon Powershot A20 (2.1 megapixel)

I suck at photography. I really do.

What I want to know is how to make my digital pics look this good:

Is this a function of the camera, the editing software, or both?

If it's in the software, could you point me to resources on making photos
look so snappy?

See, I want to snap photos of food I make. And I want them to look like the
ones on Martha Stewart's site ( http://tinyurl.com/14sf ). Instead, they
turn out like this: http://madman.weblogs.com/2002/04/11 (scroll past the
recipe). Now, I'm sure her photos were done in a professional studio, but
any tips on improving my pathetic photos would be welcome. Is it a
Photoshop thang?

TIA,

Madhu
