What I [Photographed] Wednesday
Just in case you missed my superimportantannoucement on Monday… I’m still playing with my new camera!
My friend Taylor took me out on Monday for a little photo adventures and just an hour with her was SO helpful! (She does weddings and such if anyone in RVA is looking!)
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think I knew what I was doing. (Thank you for the pic, Taylor!)
So this was a fun, and challenging post, since I’m still trying to learn my way around my camera. Obviously, I couldn’t snap a picture at work with my camera, so that was my exception in this post.
Breakfast:
Simple bowl of Chobani 0% with vanilla stevia, frozen blueberries, and Udi’s cranberry granola.
Lunch:
Since my barley stew made a bunch of servings, and I’m the only one eating it, I had leftovers at work. I took this picture earlier, obviously (since I get enough strange looks from my co-workers for bringing in things like kale chips and kombucha tea. I don’t need to add a giant camera into the mix.)
I also grabbed some veggies from the salad bar at work, and topped it with some Trader Joe’s Peppercorn Ranch, which I brought from home. I’m normally not a fan of salad dressings (they usually just taste kind of slimy to me) but this dressing is light and delicious.
Afternoon snack:
As soon as I got home from work, I was starving. So I grabbed a slice of homemade wheat bread, and topped it with a smear of almond butter. This bread is really dense, and since it’s made with whole wheat flour and whole grain oats, it’s fiber packed as well! I’ll try to remember to post the recipe soon.
Dinner:
My friend Kate and I went to Xtra’s Cafe in Carytown, specifically for 1/2 off wine night. (I normally go on Wednesdays… for $10 bottles of champagne, but… I’m flexible.) Sadly, I brought my camera, and forgot my memory card… so no photo from there. But you know what white wine looks like, right?
When I finally got home, I wasn’t that hungry, but I knew I needed to eat something, so I whipped up a simple smoothie
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 handful ice cubes
- 1 cup almond milk
- stevia to taste
Awesome food photos. I always take photos of food when I’m out eating or even just at home occasionally…and most people think I’m just weird for doing so! I tend to leave my DSLR though at home when I do, so I often don’t get as great of photos as I could perhaps.
I grew up on Skippy, so I can’t hate. I also don’t mind Jif, it’s difficult for me to dislike nut butters. And yeah, I totally try to sneak pictures. Then I do this awkward thing where I feel like I have to make a lame excuse when they notice me do it!
I love your question- so true! It’s definitely awkward to take pictures of food. I keep my camera in the cupboard and snap shots whenever the roommates aren’t there.
The photos from the new camera look great! And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to sneak photos of food, sometimes ending up getting some rather strange looks. In the end I was just honest with my flatmates and showed them my blog, and now they keep coming up with ideas for me ha!
I usually buy the organic peanut butter. Every now and then the cheaper stuff makes its way into my pantry. 🙂
As for photographing food, I snap pictures usually no matter who’s looking. I don’t work so it only happens at restaurants/parties for me.
