Blog Photography

This post is for blog /photography geeks.
Today I was working on a food styling shoot for a client and the photographer had this way cool tripod head by MANFROTTO. It has an amazing quick trigger operated mechanism that allows you to quickly reposition your camera.

I was so sold I immediately ran down to ADORAMA on the west side of the island and picked one up. You can mind Manfrotto's complete product line HERE.
Best 100 bucks I have ever spent in a flash.

Upgrade.

Some of the work I am doing in the next few weeks should be pretty interesting including the farm plot, CVAP oven and Kitchen Design work. I decided therefore it is time for a wide angle lens. I ran across town to Adorama and bought THIS.
Exciting pictures to come.
Sheeeze it's about as much as a circulator.

Under Pressure

When Alex Talbot say's buy one, that usually means buy two which is exactly what I did.

The Cuisinart pressure cooker is off the hook and will add immensely to the creative index.

Thanks to an Amazon gift card, they seems free too.

Defacing brand new stuff.

Flex_1











I have this idea to serve a root vegetable souffle with poultry. I decided to use a flexipan unfortunately they are all attached at the hip thus the requisite surgery. They are much more useful to me individually besides how do you flip over 24 souffles at once ?Flex_2

Adobe_1

Adobe_2 Thanks for the e-mail complimets regarding the blog photos. I recently started using this software which is a quantum improvement over I-Photo, still getting the hang of it but the adjustments are finer and more versatile.

Fake Bristles

Fake_brush I have to say I am loving these silicone brushes, easy to clean, sanitize and  dont retain any odors, just a quick rinse in hot water. Like most other silicone replacements such as flexipans, they may not feel real but most certainly an improvement.

Slice me dice me.

Misono A quiet midweek holiday is the perfect day to sharpen and hone your knives. I must confess I actually never do it often enough perhaps because I have 3 sets. I use the Misonos  most frequently and actually took the time to sharpen the LOShen's today. Newly sharpened knives remind chefs what a pleasure it is to work with precision.
