MacKenzie Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 I might be home alone this evening but I'm starting up the grill for a nice dinner. First time I tried this, it is bacon wrapped chicken sausage meat. Served with baked potato and garden fresh spinach. Plated. The internal temperature was 189F and you might think it would be dry but it sure wasn't. 1
CeramicChef Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 MacKenzie - what an absolutely killer money shot! That cook is nothing but money. Kudos, kudos, kudos!
tinyfish Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 fantastic cook once again. you must know a thing or two about picture taking, care to share.
MacKenzie Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 tinyfish, thanks. Of course you know I used your posting of the beer can burger for this dinner. As far as the pixs go I sometimes use a very small tripod, that helps a lot and the camera is a Canon S95 which I have had for years and try to use natural light as much as possible but not in sun. If I like what I see in the viewfinder or screen I go for it. Keep out the distractions and or crop them out. It is just a hobby that I have enjoyed for many years, you should see my first pixs. This a tripod that looks exactly like mine. It is very flexible and you can rest it on the edge of the grill, but not for long.
CeramicChef Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Aha! I think my pictures are about to improve. Thanks MacKenzie!
tony b Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 MacKenzie, do you use a remote shutter button, or use the delay timer? I ask because all your pictures are perfectly focused - every minute detail stands out!
MacKenzie Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 No, the tripod helps a lot and if I'm not using that I probably am using my elbows and a small f stop. Having gotten all those things going for the pix then if things need a little help try Photoshop or other photo enhancing program to do a little more enhancing. But you need to have the basics right or even a picture enhancing program is not going to give you the pix you want. 1
tony b Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 I've started using a small tripod, too, which really helps, but there's still some jiggle in my pics sometimes when I push the shutter button. I'm just using the Nikon Coolpix P60. The 10 second delay helps.
MacKenzie Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Yes, anything that will steady the camera is a good thing:)
GoFrogs91 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Nice one mk. I'm starting to think you're related to Popeye with all that spinach you're eating. 😉
