Poochie Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 OK, this isn't on a Komodo, but mine is on the way. This is just a practice for posting food shots. The meal was cooked on a Weber 26" kettle. First is the tuna marinating and waiting to get thrown on the grill. Then he's resting on a 350 degree grate. And a few minutes later... And now on a plate with side dishes. This is as well done as I like tuna. I'm sure others cook it more. As you can see in the "money shot", I posed it on some of my fine china that comes 150 to a package. Thanks for viewing! 1 Quote
CeramicChef Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Poochie - I love your china pattern! I believe we have some of that same pattern sitting atop the refrigerator. I just hate doing dishes! That tuna steak is perfectly done and that money shot is beyond sumptuous! Big time kudos! Quote
tinyfish Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Looks like you learn quick with those photos. Quote
ckreef Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Nice tuna cook. Pictures look good. One thing I learned is rarely are straight overhead shots optimum for a plate of food. Add a little angle and it'll give the food some depth. Quote
MacKenzie Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Poochie, you sure are all set with the pixs when you get your KK. Fantastic cook. Quote
tony b Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Great Porn, Poochie! Can't wait to see the "real thing" off your KK after it arrives!!! ckreef, I generally go for the Full Monty shot! Quote
Poochie Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks mucho everyone. It was very tasty. Of course, it'll be a lot better on the Komodo. Quote
ckreef Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Great Porn, Poochie! Can't wait to see the "real thing" off your KK after it arrives!!! ckreef, I generally go for the Full Monty shot! Full Monty Shot is good it just adds a little depth to the picture if you shoot from an angle rather than straight overhead. Just a little angle helps to show the height of the food instead of looking 2 dimensional from the top. I'm not talking a direct 90° like I've done with my recent pizza pictures. Just come down maybe 30° Everyone's milage may very but give it a try on your next full Monty shot and see what you think. Quote
Poochie Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 Will do ckreef. I like to do an overhead shot of a full plate because sometimes the depth of field is so shallow on these close ups. But you're correct that is gives the food more of a 3d effect with modeling light and all the other fun photography goodies when taken at an angle. I used to be a wedding photographer 40 years ago. Fun and frightening. Quote
tony b Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Tossing the flag now! A professional photographer in our mix!! Not fair, not fair at all!! If it weren't for autofocus, I'd never take a decent picture!! Quote
bosco Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 I keep promising myself to get into more fish cooks. I really need to start!! Great looking cook and photos looks good too Quote
