Cooking
I saw this in one of my cooking magazines earlier this month... new digital camera from Olympus features a 'cuisine' setting!
Probably my biggest obstacle in food blogging is taking pictures. Not because I'm inept around cameras (I was a photographer for the high school year book, with no complaints!), but because the one we have is...frankly...a piece of crap.
Our camera seems to have issues. It simply will not take photos of white foods. This means no potatoes, rice, pasta, ice cream...even white sauces.
It 'leans' to the right, as well. Take a picture, within the screen's 'frame', and the picture you end up with is a bit off what you intended.
It's just not a high quality camera, and I want a new one.
The Olympus Stylus 500 may be a bit out of my price range, but I'm making it my goal. One way or another, the camera shall be mine.
I should point out that I do, in fact, use our digital camera for more than just food blogging. I have an adorable toddler and two very cute dogs...we're talking photo ops galore!
- Two-cheese Croque-monsieurs
First, let me say...my new camera rocks! There's no way I could have taken a yellow/white picture with the old camera. I'm still getting the feel of it, but even these first tries are pretty amazing. A recipe we've been meaning to make for...

1 Top-Notch Digital Camera. See, someone may have a birthday coming up in the next week or so...and what I really need? A camera without a foggy lens, that can handle my high ceilings and poor lighting, and will let me take nice pictures! Something for...
- Irish Food For My Irish Grammy
My grandmother came down for a visit last week/weekend. It had been more than a year since I'd last seen her, so I was pretty happy about the visit. I made sure to feed her well, and on the final night of her trip, I cooked up an Irish dinner. Boille-stuffed...
- Thwarted Again
Well, camera issues prevail. Now, we can't get the camera to talk to anything! Last time, Matt took the camera to work with him, and got it to work. This time, he tried it first on our computer, then on his work computer...and nothing. Nada. Apparently,...
- I Know, It's Been Ages
It's not that I haven't been cooking; I have. It's more that when I attempt to take a picture, the digital camera is full, or out of batteries. Or sometimes, the food just isn't that interesting. It happens. But (oh, a week or so ago)...
