Sirloin tip and new camera

BucsFanJim

<p />I'm gonna try to post all the pics in this post..if not the other pics will be in subsequent posts. [p]First pic. 7 lb. sirloin tip prior to injecting and rub.
(injected with beef broth, cranberry juice, garlic powder, onion powder)

<p />Second pic after injecting and rub.

<p />Third pic....after searing direct at 450-500* then I set it up indirect with inverted plate setter. [p]

<p />Last pic sliced after cooking at dome of 350* to internal temp of 150 and rested foiled, toweled in a cooler for 1 hour or so prior to slicing.
Sirloin tip is not my favorite, it was a good deal and I thought it would be a good test for the Egg. This was very flavorful and really lean. Best one I've done. [p]Camera review? It has a great close-up feature...but you have to be REALLY still in order to get a good pic.

BucsFanJim,
pics look good. If you kinda have the jitters take a pic, do like I do and get yourself a monopod, a 1 legged tripod, they are really nice and handy.

Chef Wil,
Thanks for the tip.

BucsFanJim,
Lighting and vibration are usually the biggest problems when it comes to close-up or macro photography. When you focus really close you generally need much more light- so the camera will generally slow down the shutter speed to get more light, making it difficult to get a non-shakey image because when you use magnification, EVERYTHING gets magnified, especially every move you make, and indeed, every breath you take.
Of course, most hand-held cameras only have one flash setting, so when you get too close it may completely white-out the picture- this can be fixed by blocking the flash a bit with a pice of paper or tissue.
A monopod is a good idea, and they also sell min table-top tripods that can easily be stowed away.
Some cameras have different shooting modes such as sports/action, landscape, or portraiture. If you ahve an Action setting, use that one, it will make your camera use a faster shutter speed.
hope that helps a bit
I do macro and micro photography for a living- just let me know if you have any questions I might be able to help you with.

WailingAngusBeef,
Thanks for those tips. Yes, the camera does have an action setting. I'll try that one next time.
