Sprouts!

My husband recently declared brussels sprouts to be the most delicious vegetables in the world. I happen to give that honor to green beans, but these are looking pretty tasty I must admit. The front Sprout is supposed  to be more clearly in focus.

Last week, after reading the "Our approach to Food Photos" section at Smitten Kitchen, I decided to purchase a new lens for my camera. It is the first time i have used a camera with a fixed focal length and moving back and forth to zoom is very foreign. The other main difficulty I have is that my house has very little natural light, so i have to use a slow shutter speed. This makes for a lot of blurry pictures! Maybe I need a tripod? Any other thoughts?
