Any photo buffs?

[timzcardz]

Most of my photography is of food that I grill and barbecue for competition and just for my own consumption pleasure. Mostly do this to keep track of what I've cooked, and also to improve the apperance of what I cook and serve or submit for judging. I often find things to improve in appearance in the photos that I never see in person particularly when having to submit an entry on time. The photos allow me look at at critically later on and correct things that I do the next time.

One friend of mine once asked: "Why are you always showing us pictures of your food but never any of your kids?"

My response: "If my kids looked this good I'd show you pictures of them too!"


Some first place ribs



Some brisket that looked a lot better than it placed



Grilled and then battered and deep fried burger!




Cedar planked lemon salmon and twice baked red potatoes




Moink balls (bacon wrapped meatballs smoked with some rub and sauced)




A plate of BBQ'ed chicken thighs




Some tomatoes on the grill with mozarella




Grilled hot dog egg rolls with a honey dijon glaze




OK, so nothing "cooked' here. Just your basic salad with a strawberry vinaigrette

Okay, well now I am just hungry. Thanks.

Of course a praying mantis up close and personal looks downright scary.

Very nice- great thread & great photo's everyone.

I've thought about taking some photography classes, it would be fun to learn about the camera angles & techniques, the equiptment, lenses, etc...

Sincerely, Clayton

Al,

If you're ever down Long Island way on a weekend that we're competing, feel free to stop by and I'll hook you up with some grub and beverage.

My brother maintains our facebook thingy, and usually posts when/where we'll be competing: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Grim-R...28055447259946

Probably one of the best locations we'll be doing this year is in Manorville on Aug 4/5. http://www.bbqbattleli.com/

Canaveral produces crazy skies and surf frequently. I rarely have time to catch these phenomenals.

Been a while since we bumped this thread (another of my personal favorites). I returned from Antarctica a few weeks ago so thought I'd share a few photos from the trip.

Jon - great shots, especially the last one, feels like the penguins are in my living room.

A few more recent shots, now I shoot with a Nikon D5100 and a Nikkor 18-300mm lens.

I'm not a photographer but volunteer at a Seattle non-profit art gallery and deal with numerous art photographers. One thing I've learned from casual conversation is, that while I don't take photographs, I know more about the photographer's physical photographs than they do-- such as how resistant they are to fading, what they are etc. The current director is a painter, but the previous two were photographers.

Great stuff guys. Here are a couple from Royal County Down in Ireland.

Jon - those are great pics. Must have been a heckuva trip.

Not a great picture by any means, but given the lighting ( or lack of ), I think you all know where I was today.
