Fighting Back

I've just decided to rebel against my cold. I WILL NOT let it get the best of me.

A Green Monster will surely help, with all its vitamin packed deliciousness.

In today's mixture:
1/2 cup OJ
1/2 almond breeze
1/2 frozen yogurt (try this, its amazing!)
2 cups spinach
1 strawberry source yogurt.

I figure will all the vitamin C and probiotics my immune system can't help but go in the right direction!

I beg you all for help. How do I take decent pictures? I have a Canon SD 1100... but there's just something off about my pictures.

This is the Auto function with no flash

This is the digital macro setting

And this is the auto setting with the flash.


What setting to you use to take food pics?

I use the manual function always and switch to macro, no flash and adjust the brightness with the manual functions. Mine is a Canon Powershot SX110IS and I love it. I still haven't found the time to learn the features, but it's on my list of things to do!

Your smoothie sounds like a secret weapon. Your body can't help but body fight back!

My pictures rarely turn out well, also. What is macro? See, I don't even know that!

No wonder my pics don't turn out right...

Good for you! Fight back! :)

I always take my food pics with lots of natural light and set the food on a table. holding it is too hard to get in focus, I find.

My food shots are always blurry cuz my hand is reaching in and grabbing it. Grrrrr...

Way to not let your immune system boss you around!

Hmm...I do the no flash/auto/natural light thing too...I find natural light to DEFINITELY be key...and sometimes I will sit the camera on some books or something so that it is held a bit more steady....

I agree, that monster is going to kick your colds ass!

I have a Kodak Z712 IS and it has a "Smart" setting which is what I use. It automatically picks the proper setting for the surroundings.

When I had a Canon I just used the Auto setting *shrug*

Try the first one with the lighting from behind you.

Another suggestion: If you have a setting on your camera that lets you choose different situations look for "available light" and see how that works out.

I actually use the "food" setting on my camera. It works like a charm; but yes natural lighting is the best to get a clearer picture.
