foto-flavoring

Check out these two mistakes experiments. Gone are the simple days of point & shoot. Whether programming the camera's settings, or doctoring the results afterwards, there is so much that can be done to modify the end result. I suppose it is a lot like cooking, and these are examples of two flavors. They're both delightful, though neither one turned out as I originally expected.

Both were taken minutes apart, but we have a spicy cinnamon (reddish hue) that happened when I used the "twilight +" program. Slowcooking gave us the other one, with more realistic colors, but I added a little salt and pepper afterwards. That is to say, that I turned off the fully automatic program, but adjusted for a longer setting, which resulted in a more true-to-life flavor (color).

Minutes ago, I smelled cinnamon and thought how much more I like it on cold days like today. It's 21 degrees outside, but the windchill makes it feel like 11. That's fahrenheit. The celsius conversions are -6/-12. It's not just cold, but snowy too. We expect more snow to fall this evening. Staying with the food theme, I love the way this sugar frosting is generously covering everything right now.

The oak tree experiments were taken from our Thanksgiving trip to Kentucky.
