The Michy’s logo. Had the chef’s tasting menu this evening, and all I can say for now is holy. freaking. crap. that was great. More later when I process the pictures.

The light looked nice on the wampa first thing this morning and I had an urge to break out the Pudding Camera app.

Bonito flakes!

And the ghetto food photography setup involving an aluminum foil-wrapped photo book.

The new (ridiculously heavy) rig for shooting up-close things like food: Nikon D300S, 105mm f2.8 macro lens, detachable flash & foldable, bendable flash director/bounce.

This thing is super heavy, but will hopefully make for some great shots.

Between last night’s and this afternoon’s storms.

Apparently when you try to catch lightning on the iPhone you get really cool split exposure shots. Also, my DH succeeding at capturing lightning and a flash so bright we got daylight back.

One of the many little food tents at the Redland Market Village. The tacos al pastor was wonderful–gyro-style spit-roasted pork on fresh handmade corn tortillas. Yum.

A very dark me.

They are teh tireds.
