So far I prefer not to use the Food scene setting on my new camera when taking food photos. Here’s this morning’s breakfast, taken using Macro mode, ISO 200 with flash set to OFF. I think it will take much more experimenting before I know exactly what I’m doing.
For our breaky this morning, Jac decided to use up what she could from the fridge/freezer. She fried up the last of the turkey and pea patties and served them with fried eggs and her breakfast beans (I hereby christen thee!) – this incarnation of the beans consisted of baked beans, bacon, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and sliced Plumrose brand tinned frankfurters – I’d opened a tin of those sometime ago, eaten most of them, Gladwrapped the last two, put them in the freezer and completely forgotten about them. They were great in the breakfast beans dish.
That’s me up to date for now. I’m off to arrange our DVDs on the new shelf in the lounge.

Umm, I’ve never had eggs sunny side up before. The raw yolks kinda freak me out….and I don’t know how to eat them.
….
How? Cause doesn’t it spill everywhere when you puncture the membrane?
Hehe, I kinda agree with Kagenosuke. I do eat sunny side up, but I always prefer to smash the yolk as I am frying my egg. I’m weird that way.
Breakfast beans looked awesome!
The picture looks clearer to me, more detailed. Either way, I want to eat that breakfast right now! :)
We had a fry up for breakfast on Sunday as well. :) I love the idea of mixing the beans with bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes – I might have to try that if I can ever remember to buy a can of baked beans.
Oh and I finally made my fried eggs sunny side up. I loved how the yolks looked in the photo.
Kagenosuke,
The yolk does burst and it does “spill everywhere” as you suggest. I like to mop it up with a bit of toast or anything else I may have on hand. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste.
Mouse,
They were yummy. Jac was very pleased with how they turned out – and I was even more pleased to eat the leftovers for breakfast on Monday.
Katie,
Yeah, so far the images appear sharper. Still working out the sweet spot for the food pics.
The Home Cook,
The beans thing is great if you like beans! I know a few people who wouldn’t eat tinned baked beans if that was the only food left in the world, though!
Yeah, baby! Food porn at its finest.
Chubbypanda,
Heh, glad you like.
