I received some most excellent advice on camera usage from my friend Gore and had to experiment with tonight's grilling. On the menu was marinated yello squash/vidalia onion/red bell pepper/garlic in evoo, Todd's Dirt and Todd's Bayou, marinated asparagus in evoo, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, Mahi Mahi in some off the shelf lemon pepper marinade (next time we're going to make our own sesame ginger) and some bacon wrapped apple wedges with cinnamon and brown sugar. Threw in a pic of the Grates of Hell because the coals were so purty. Thank you for the advice Gore! More practice in the future.
Thanks for looking.

Looks great!
I tied Mahi Mahi last week. For a non fish eater I need to play around with it some more
 
Wow Guerry, you're giving your food the justice it deserves!
Looks delicious!
I really appreciated the advice Gore. Somehow, I just had a mental block about getting on the right level. I could recognize it in other people's photography but just couldn't SEE it. I don't know how long it would have taken me to make that connection without your thoughtful critique. Now, if I can only hold the camera steady enough when the light is low and I don't want to use the flash! (Tripod mod?:becky:)
 
Thanks Guerry, glad I could help (and that you can see the difference). The surprising thing is how much improvement you'll still see two months from now. I know what you mean about not seeing it yourself. Of course, my wife had to drill it into me.

Tripod definitely helps a LOT (no, I'm too lazy to get mine out, but I try to brace the camera on something). Outside is best. A flash is ok, but I step back and zoom in, otherwise it oversaturates.

I love those shots with the veggies! They really look tasty.
 
Oh Boy, I'd hit that!

Nice pics!

Cheers!

Beats eggplant, eh, Bill?

Beautiful shots of beautiful food G. Nice work.
Thanks Gary. A simple thing improved my photography almost immediately.

NYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!
(errr.....that's a really drawn out "NICE!")

Purty fire, for sure!
I love the color of redhot coals.:becky:

Awesome. Beautiful looking fish. And I love the grates of hell. Reminds me of the sauna in the penalty box.
There's a SAUNA?:shock: Thanks Rob!
