Seasonally, I cater for rich people. On Monday I am doing a small dinner party and vegetarian lasagna was requested.
Yesterday, I went shopping, but because I'm still weak as a kitten from my illness, I didn't manage to get everything.
However, here is some of the stuff on the counter of my kitchen and here's the menu:
Aged provolone and sweet mini plum tomatoes along with green olive tapenade and crackers for appetizer.
Rosemary and lemon roasted salmon, vegetable lasagna made with zucchini and leeks, Fontina cheese and other delicacies. Salad of baby greens, artichoke hearts, toasted walnuts and basalmic vinaigrette.
Dessert will be berries - whatever I can get - tossed with Creme de Cassis and then I'm making a big tiramisu - you see the lady fingers and the block chocolate there.
Wine and coffee.
I'm just starting to use my 50 mm lens and am having focus issues.
Waddy's feedback helped me look at this, I am not a focus queen, so no comment on that issue
Howver, when it comes to food, that's a diff story!! your menu sounds sublime..best wishes getting that setup with out feeling too sick. That salad is one of my favs and berries..YUM, I can never get enough. Tiramisu oh my! How delish!!
anyway you can speedmail the leftovers to me??? I'll PM you with my address :)
Too bad about the focus issues.....what aperture are you using? Maybe a smaller opening would help. I like the lighting and composition, and the ingredients list makes me HUNGRY!!!
I suppose that I must be a culinary illiterate. Some of the ingredients sound like they would be very good tasting things to eat, and others I can't even pronounce LOL.
I see what you are talking about with the focus. In this shot it is behind the foreground. If you were shooting autofocus, check to see that you don't have spot metering set to get the high part of the frame. I am not sure about how the Canon works, but I can set the S3 Fuji to focus on the nearest object, or to focus on one of 5 points in the viewfiner. The nearest object option would work good for this kind of shot.
If you manually focused, then your eyes may be a little impaired by the recent illness.
I hope that you recover your strength so that you can do the party without being overly stressed.
