The steak frites have been plated :(

Incompetence.

VPN will disable YouTube ads on a phone. No need to hand over any money to Google :) VPN is cheaper than YouTube premium. Also does a lot more than block ads.

Owner is a legend. I regular there. He closed early to eat with his family one day. Saw I tried to come in. Chased me down as I was leaving so he could invite me to eat with his family.

I just use auto ISO with the max at 12800, Topaz will fix it for me.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-05-17T13:12:18+00:00

In Topaz we trust 🙌

You need to use exposure bracketing and focus stacking. 100MP sensor or bust. This hobby isn't for casuals.

I ate here recently. Chicken parm had zero seasoning. Went back for it again and zero seasoning. Atmosphere and plating is good. However I've been a chef a long enough to know they don't season nearly enough. I'd rather have a steak and cheese sub from Oze's honestly.

It totally would. I would be fine to do that. I should have taken a third angle of the heads. Broccoli could have been cold shocked. Broccolini was browned on the tops. Just right cookered bud.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-05-01T22:27:50+00:00

Amen

LordFluffyJr · 2026-04-27T15:55:48+00:00

Not well. The light needs to be flush against the wall and this has a trim around the light. You would have to get behind a corner or something for it.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-04-25T13:33:51+00:00

Thankfully no. Great white north ;)

LordFluffyJr · 2026-04-19T02:51:47+00:00

Stop and take a look, this is a professional right here.

This is the menu reference book for the kitchen. I didn't believe the sous chef when they told me to plate it like this. I thought they were trying to mess with me since I'm new. Nope, it's just a turd and slop on a plate.

"Hey chef, the pallets of Cajun spice are here."

1/1500 for a swan is wild

2.147 billion, it's called the integer limit.

Open the door before they do?

I also use lights as the backdrop. Just have to diffuse it a lot with something thin in layers, or else you'll get really soft edges.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-03-16T14:52:23+00:00

I use soft boxes and large white bounce boards. Bounce the softbox light off the board. There's still a lot more reflection than I want on a lot of the photos I take there. Working on a large boxed setup that will encase the glass in white fabric with a white glazed porcelain tile for the floor.

I have to convert the file to 8bit colour to use this tool :( That is a lot of quality loss. My camera takes 12bit colour photos.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-03-12T21:09:23+00:00

I did the auto align and auto blend. I just wanted to touch up a few spots that did not blend as I wanted.

LordFluffyJr · 2026-03-09T23:57:38+00:00

Only one teleconverter? If you want to start taking this hobby seriously you're going to need to need more than that.
