El Jefe might be taking a reprieve on purpose to let us work this all out for ourselves. If this TD is about food photography... then we have a general direction. I've got a syllabus coming together in my head, but it requires temporarily suspending most of the general TD rules... and possibly the general concept of what the TD's are about (a final plated dish).
I say we open this wide up. Let our inner artist loose. "Photograph something edible" [hot pepper or hot pepper product mandatory in photo]. <---- Let the artist in you interpret that. It can be a final plating, a picture of it cooking, even a prep picture... yeah, raw ingredients. (Technically, this means you really don't have to "cook" anything.)
The PoL pic will have the ingredients/subject(s) of your final entry picture. Final entry will be limited to one picture with a descriptive title of the work of art underneath it. (A sentence, not a paragraph.) No process pic(s) this time... this is purely about the final picture ONLY. No write-up about ingredients or temps/times. Basically, two pics max. "Teaser" with PoL... and final entry post. That's it.
I'm imagining this as the first THP food TD art exhibition. Does this clear it all up... or muddy it all up?
Feedback, please.
APPLESAUCE????
Oh, I am SOOOO going there!!!! Thanks, LB!
ISO setting determines how sensitive to light the sensor on your digital camera is. The lower the setting the crisper the picture but also requires a lower shutter speed. The higher the setting the faster you can have your shutter speed but it will make for a grainier picture....think of back in the day when you bought film for your camera and you had to pic your film (remember Kodak 200, 400, 800, 1600) If you were going to be shooting outside in the sun, you would get the lower number or if you were going to be shooting at night or in low light conditions you would get the higher number....same thing, just digital now.
I think everyone who has the ability to put their camera in manual mode should take about 30 minutes of online reading and experiment for a couple hours in different situations. It gives way to be a lot more creative with your pictures. Also look into Macro setting if you have it. (allows for up close pictures)
Those pictures were you are focused on the sandwich and the background is blurred out but the sandwich is nice and crisp...can't do that without manual mode. (adjusting the aperture) Or how about having your object lit up and visible but the surrounding is completely dark.... or purposely over exposing the picture....there are so many things you can do manually. Try it out!
Screw SPAM....

Ok Spam sounds fun and all, but maybe for August. Spam is celebrating it 75th birthday, how about the USA celebrating its 236th birthday. I vote for red, white and blue. A meal that contains all three colors.
I thought that "ISO" meant "In Search Of.." ...like we see on the local bulletin board forum. But APPARENTY>>>>>> ISO also has some other funky meaning known only to photogeeks
