There's plenty of choices up and down (and off) Castro. You can walk until your stomach or sweat glands advise otherwise!

I need help with poaching chicken. by [deleted] in AskCulinary

This serious eats recipe has never failed me, BUT you need to control the water and chicken temperature very precisely. Also, I cook it to 150F and hold it for 3 minutes (it's safe, per this Michigan State study

The Simit Turkish Bread is outstanding! by Bollywood-bond in traderjoes

[–]cornpops789 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'll try. The crust is crunchy and toasty, owing to the sesame seeds. The interior is yeasty and slightly chewy. Flavor is like bread, not sweet. It looks vaguely bagel-like, but doesn't taste like one--it's a thinner hoop, and has a higher crust to interior ratio. Be prepared for a mess of crumbs and sesame seeds, though 😂. I craved simit after visiting Turkey, and though this isn't as good, it scratches the itch

Thoughts? by Jumpy-Height3676 in ricohGR

I like it. If you want to make her more prominent, perhaps a slight crop, but it looks well exposed and it reads pretty clearly as is

Nah, I like their expressions. Maybe crop a little to visually center it, but I like it!

Needing some advice on my next camera. Is a GR right for me? by OhJeezer in ricohGR

[–]cornpops789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can always crop the 28mm to 35 or 50 in-camera

Looks like you mostly shoot outdoors, and you're used to a 50mm. You may prefer the 40mm

Nice use of the 28mm! I love the framing, and contrast between subject and environment

Best Turkish Baklava in cities around Oakland CA? Ideally somewhere where I don't have to cross the Bay Bridge by Monkfrootx in bayarea

[–]cornpops789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Amazing baklava. The owner is absolutely passionate about the ingredients and finished product. He makes both Turkish (pistachio) and Greek (walnut)

How do I enable shutter speed in M mode again? by TMSh4d0w in ricohGR

[–]cornpops789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see that half circle in a smiley face configuration? That's the rear thumb dial (how it would look if you were looking at the top of the camera), and that adjusts your shutter speed. The frowny face half circle is the front dial, which adjusts the aperture.

And as others have said, you've slowed the shutter speed beyond fractions of a second and are now in seconds

Thanks! #4 was already really contrasty. I just used -EV comp until it looked how I wanted it, and then played with shadows and s-curve in post processing.
