After lurking this thread for years, now that we finally got a 70D I think we're ready to start contributing. Last night was sushi night.  Sushi is really great because it isn't super difficult to prepare (hardest part is preparing the rice) and you can also just sort of improvise with it and try different things. One roll was maki sushi with salmon and piquant pepper jelly, one was a California roll with just salmon (forgot the avocado) and then a weird one where we just put slices of smoked scarmorza. Had to use Kikkoman soy sauce because we can't find any good brands around here  . I'm pretty happy with how the pictures turned out but we'd also appreciate any advice you guys can offer about taking pictures of food.

The Midniter posted:Normally I'm repulsed at the thought of cheese (specifically cream cheese) in sushi, but the idea of smoked scamorza sounds amazing. How were they? Underwhelming sadly, the smokiness didn't really come through at all. Awesome, I see Gravity wrote it. We went back through and found all of Gravity's posts in this thread and that's definitely something to aspire to. For these pictures we played with the white balance a little bit in iPhotos but we don't have any more serious software. i have to read up a on a lot of the technical stuff but there was also some very good general advice. Tonight we made a red curry using one of the recipes we got from the Thai cooking class we took last fall. Had to use anise instead of Thai basil but overall it was a very satisfying meal. Fresh pineapple juice martinis with some muddled ginger (ginger flavor didn't really through, still getting the hang of muddling) but they were still good.

twoot posted:Half pound burgers with spiced cheddar, onions, and chips. I made the enriched dough mustard buns and BBQ sauce. After seeing these, we (veggie) burged.   The patty was lentils, chick peas, flour, olive oil, salt and pepper, and onions. It was great. Tonight we had a summer bean salad:    Now that I discovered bokeh it's a cool idea to play around with. I wish I would have waited to pour the drink so that the glass would have still been frosty when I took the picture. Also after reading the tutorial I realised that it isn't just me who can't take zoomed-out pictures of the whole spread while making the food look good, that's apparently just something true with food photography. Also confession time: my wife is the one doing most of the actual cooking, I just chop things and do the dishes and take the pictures. baw fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Sep 1, 2014 |

A few from earlier this week. Definitely need to download Lightroom and figure out white balance because ya everything is orange. Babaganoosh and hummus with piadina. also a pie.     Musket posted:Photo crit time: Woof! Woof! posted:Good photo composition probably depends on good subject composition. Great info, sadly I will have to wait a few months before I can play with it because it's back to work for now.   god i really should not be reading this thread anymore

Crusty Nutsack posted:What kind of raspberry custard pie is that??? It looks yum. Recipe. We found the recipe here, with olive oil instead of butter. It was awesome but we shoulda let it chill in the fridge for a bit to solidify. e: google translate suffices for translating the recipe baw fucked around with this message at 09:19 on Sep 13, 2014 |

Been able to take some pictures recently, still trying to figure things out: Pancakes with berries:  Greek Yogurt with Pomegranate and sheep  Piadina with Cus Cus and Salad    Panino with bean burger  I haven't sprung for any software yet but I'm starting to see the limitations of iPhoto so it might be time. I tried setting white balance using the method in the Wiki but things still seem yellow.
