Had to look that big word up bro...:twisted:

Here's what I got . Had a craving for Brisket so .... here it is




Jules

That looks really nice Jules. You should really look into a camera that focuses though!

Wish I could taste it.

Thnaks . It doe's focus, I was just to close for the shot. Got to excited I guess.

JUles

I'd be excited too with those amazing smells in the air.

Your camera might have a macro setting? Looks like a flower icon on most cameras. Turn that badboy on if yur closer than 18 inches, and it'll be mo sharper.

My photography skills are nothing to brag about either. I have some cheapo camera but have gotten much better at posting pron. In person it looks awesome..sometimes I post thinking..is that the same thing I just cooked? Some people on here can take a picture of a brick slathered w/ a glaze and make it look edible:shock:

Had two to work with today.

Tee hee, that was funny, but true!:biggrin:

LOL! You are right about that. Some amazing photo skills around here. Not sure they'd be able to make a brick look edible, but they are damn good at pron. The whole photography thing....what makes a nice image and what makes a bad image....is complicated.
But if the most helpful things to remember:

The light makes the image. Light coming from the sides or the back of the subject give the image definition and depth. Light coming from just above your lens (like a flash) makes images flat and dull. So use existing lighting if you can. A flash picture will probably never win the throwdown.

Hold the camera still. One problem with using existing light is that sometimes is that there is not enough of it...especially inside. So the best pictures will involve a tripod or a really steady hand. Inside light is not daylight..and your camera is balanced for daylight. So your colors will shift with inside light. But you can set most cameras to balance the color if you are using inside light (like flourescent or incandescent). And don't forget to push t he macro button if shooting close. Plus, the closer you are to the subject, the more still you need to hold the camera.

Not sure if it helps, but I just felt like babbling ;-)

They are cold here now.

Looks nice Diva! Dang. It's beautiful.

Damn Diva, I was just about to go to Sam's to look for a brisket. Now I may just hang my head and walk away in shame. :biggrin:

Nice pics!!!

Ding ding ding ding!!! That's going to be hard to beat Diva!

Yes, it appears Diva has not only prepared an amazing briskie but was able to document it extremely well also. I especially like to parsley touch!
Nice work...I'll take a couple slices please and some of those end thingies too!!

Brisket Throwdown


My entry this week will be the pastrami I smoked on Monday. This is about a 4 pound corned brisket flat, rubbed with pepper, coriander, garlic, onion powder, Montreal, thyme and paprika, then smoked with pecan and cherry. The entry picture above shows it chilled and sliced, this was taken in to a St Patrick's Day potluck.
