Good News / Bad News

The good news is I really like the "Straight Out Of Camera" (SOOC) film recipe that I learned how to incorporate into the Ricoh GRIIIx. The bad news is my GRIIIx camera broke on 5/3 and now I have to figure out if & where I can get it repaired. Bummer!

Steelhead

52Frames - Week 42 - Food Photography

Costco steelhead trout is a grilling favorite. Medium flame, 6 minutes on the bottom, 4 minutes on the top, rare in the middle.

Before grilling on the left; after grilling on the right. Delicious on the palate.

Two image composite processed in LR, PS and Nik Color Efex Pro.

Fresh Catch

Istanbul, Turkey

Another photo from the archives.

Street markets in Istanbul were prevalent.  Some had restaurants attached such that you could select your fish, they would cook it right up and bring it to your table.
