I haven't had such a good laugh since Mrs. High-Q called him a raccoon. Guess Ninja better watch out if you're ever over for dinner.

As for the photo editing... well theres a lot of cameras out there which are pretty aweful, especially the phone cameras which massively overload the red because the CCD's are cheap, there's no flash and the lenses are dead basic. Deepsouth's camera is a prime example, but not everyone then has photoshop to try and pull the image back to a more realistic colour balance. The fact is, pretty much all of us can recognise a poor camera shot, but still appeciate the effort and the technical execution of the food itself and still give votes to what we feel is best even though the shot is not the best. For the record, I use a Nikon D3000 with the inbuilt flash or the SBP600 depending on the situation. I do not mess with white balance because I don't want too. The only thing I do in Photoshop is crop pics and do an autoadjust for the tone balance and that's it. If the photo still looks crap after that, I delete it because I'm deciding between lots and lots of shots, not 3 or 4. So what you see with my shots is pretty real. Again for the record, I'm stunned I'm leading so far???? and thanks for all the votes so far... But.. it's not over till the fat lady sings and ther are some seriously good examples here... just wanted to vote for Gore though... that marbeling was farking awesome... I need to talk to his butcher, and that farking Ninja Squirrel! He's always up to no good! Cheers! Bill

I like mine to just wave at the grill as it passes over, and I could see that in your pic.

No. I don't think so. I think I've hung out here long enough to know you're just joking around. But everyone once in a while, I doubt myself.... So, I hope you're feeling the good nature ribbing and having fun.

The point that I was trying to make but came off curmudgeonly, and that I think you made more clearly, is that there's no practical way to get consistent photos across cameras and continents. Heck, look at these two photos, both taken with the same camera, of the same cutting board, in the same room, with the same lights, no adjustments, same photo software import, the only difference is the second photo was taken in the morning with some blue light coming in the window and looks more natural than first photo, which was taken at night under fluorescent light (which is typically bluer than incandescent already), but the one taken under artificial light has a red shift to it. Anyway, congrats on your impending win, your tip looked delicious!

Let's not ruin the fun of these Throwdowns with a bunch of debating regarding the modification of pics, I think it's time to let this one go...don't you?

I'm inflexible in regards to allowing the use of editing software on your pics. This is because it would be an unreasonable burden to try and determine if any had been modified, and then deal with the issues of accusation and defense, etc.
So editing is allowed. I'm not dealing with trying to enforce non-editing.

^^^ And there you go! A perfect example of the food being the winner. Not the pic. I actually think we're all in agreement here + wev'e all learnt something. Sure, off track a bit but worth it this time. Nice advice up there Andy!
The Fat lady has not started singin' yet... Cheers! Bill
