When You're Grounded by Weather - Saturday Morning Comfort Food. Unfortunately taken with my handheld.

Haha. You took your time eating those.  My shot would have been of the empty plate

Great shot....but now I'm hungry for one of those.

    I think that would have made two of us with empty plates to photograph.

Thanks, I had to shoot 3 dozen donuts for a menu. This company makes good donuts. The funny thing was I was teaching a class the night before. We were shooting low light and I had the ISO on 10,000 and forgot to change the setting, so it's a little grainy. It added some character.

My son was hovering over the donuts while I shot.

We had 3 dozen of them, so there were plenty to eat for everyone. I gave them out to everyone in the office building. I'm a diabetic so I can't eat too many. What a dilemma.

Now thats made me hungry too,  nice shot.

Still made for a really nice shot.  I'm guessing last night's photo class was held indoors.

That would have been a perfect reason to get the shot as quickly as possible.

Yes, The weather hasn't been cooperating. We do theory and indoor shooting when it's nasty and dark.

Blériot53 Posted at 1-28 07:48

Very True.

Yes but 3 dozen donuts still took over 500 shots. It's comical how many positions and combinations you can put donuts in.

Frustrating, no doubt.

It's all good. I was happy to photograph something. In winter I usually line up a few models but they have gotten so expensive. You used to be able to find dozens that wanted to build a portfolio for TFP now they want $150 per hour plus travel expenses, It's nuts.

Blériot53 Posted at 1-28 07:48

I got up and had a couple of cups of coffee but hadn't made breakfast yet and when I saw those sweet rolls I instantly got hungry.

You just have to make the best of the weather as it comes.  Besides, indoor shooting techniques are also important.

Wow, those are some really fancy donuts.

They make pretty good donuts. We get to eat them after the shoot.

It reminds me of kanelbullar (by looking at the image).
Which is Swedish.

We call them cinnamon rolls. This shot is for the same company. The one in focus in the front is called a cinnamon roll here.

That's sort of the same translated version. Kanelbullar means cinnamon buns.
The main ingredient that makes it taste 'different' is cardamom.

That's interesting. I always think of Cardomom in Indian desserts.

Its a very distinctive taste, but I love it in the Kanelbullar.

There are three places in NYC that serve it. I will have to check it out when I am there. Not that I need the extra calories. I do have a sweet tooth though.

Yeah, I like this period a lot. Resetting the brain.

Voluntary sacrifice is a good thing.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-26 06:25
Voluntary sacrifice is a good thing.

I think it is.
It's too easy getting used to easy available abundance and thinking you have 'earned' this somehow.
We don't earn anything here on earth.
It's all a gift.

I agree we take it for granted.

So these 40 days are a good way to remind myself that it's not about me earning something. I'm lucky to be alive and kicking on this earth to begin with.
