rib roast yesterday

Posts: 16,025
Finished off the Glenfiddich while the roast cooked. I used a few JD oak chunks from my barrel. I've used these several times and I'm not crazy about the taste. The roast was good but might skip the chunks next time. I figured the oak from the barrel would have a good taste, but...
Au Gratin...
Plated...

quit posting pics from the internet and trying to pass them off as your own cook!Just kidding. Sounds like you had an awesome time working through the Glenfiddich and egging. That last shot is worth a prize.Best booze I had this year was Lagavulin Distiller's Edition. Can't afford to make it a habit, but damn that was a terrific bottle.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Looks good, well done!Like the Au Gratins, best way for spuds with a roast.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!
-
Looks great man! I agree that last pic is a magazine cover.FWIW I don't care for the JD chips. I find they have a really pungent smoke...I prefer just using oak chunks that are not whiskey soaked.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
-
looks good man. I don't use any smoke wood on my standing rib roasts. Detracts from the delicious beef flavor, IMHO.

Me too. How are you shooting? Play around with aperture priority to eliminate some variables.henapple said:I just have the T3i...

I set up all my SLRs with separate controls for auto focus and metering. I'll focus the lens in one action (pressing lightly down on the shutter button), then I'll do my metering with another button I programmed on the back - I look for something that has the light that is similar to the subject lighting....you can meter on the ground, or the subject...mostly pay attention to direct light, white and black items and shade. You don't want to meter on shade or something black if your subject is in direct light, etc.
Shutter, aperture priority - I use these rarely - leave it in programmed and use the toggle to move the shutter speed up and down (with a corresponding change in aperture). It's just another way of doing it. If your picture is saturated (over exposed), use the exposure compensation and bump it up or down a notch. EZ schtuff. You'll pick it up in no time.
95% of the time, it works every time.

Also, spot meter your shots, no evaluative metering. Set-up one autofocus point. Depress the shutter halfway and it will do both of those things for you. I find that much simpler than Nola's method, especially after a few hipster brews. I shoot aperture priority so I only have to mess with depth of field. A lot easier when you have limited time to shoot.

Best thing for learning how to shoot; put it in M and leave it there... That said, sometimes I also use A mode as wellMSV Chill Spot

I like those functions separate.....I don't always focus and meter on the same thing.nolaegghead said:Eggcelsior said:Also, spot meter your shots, no evaluative metering. Set-up one autofocus point.

@nolaegghead, I don't always either, especially shooting in manual which I do the majority of the time. But remember...we are talking about henapple...Beer swilling camera cretin. -

My food pics are hack jobs...always got my drink on that time o day...but I grew up with darkrooms and I'm fully engaged in the technical side. The artistic side is where it's at. Keep calm and photograph on.
