    by the way, i think it's a fine shot. shooting food from the side, of course, you only get about one bite in focus, i like my entire meal in focus :D

    did you boil the chicken, then drizzle some teriyaki sauce on it after it was on the plate?

    Lookin Good Charlie ^5
    I bet it tasted good too rolleyes1.gif

    There's no need to apologize about your food shot. There are no "bad" food shots, IMO.....lol Plus, it's always good to follow Andy's lead and take pics of everything you eat. That way if the doctor wants to know what you might have ingested that caused your stomach ache, you've got the prints in your back pocket:lol :lol :lol


    Nice shot and FWIW, I thought it was teriyaki too :uhoh

    yeah the sauce, wich is really me just deglazing the pan with some red and some shallots and fig slices looks alot darker int he pic than it actually was, which i think is odd considering the bright colors of the veggies.

    When you use words like "deglaze" and "reduction"; we think you're like
