Default UUuuuuuummmmm! Chili Dog

Shot this for my Strobist Boot Camp II assignment. Couldn't wait to finish the shoot and have lunch.

BTW, I used a reflector camera right to capture light from an opposing window. Also used a Canon 580EX II with a snoot set at 1/8th power set up behind and camera left.

YUMMMY! It's funny, cause I actually made these for lunch today, but mine did not look near as good as this one! Great shot there!

It is a good thing I had lunch, cause I can practically smell the chili and onions. Very nicely done, RS. Every little detail is so sharp. And...it looks like a Still Life!

It isn't a real chili dog without onions. I had to have the onions.

After taking the shots, I noticed a reflection in front. To do it over again I'd move the chili dog back a bit more to catch more of the reflection.

And, yeah, a chili dog is a matter of taste. They taste sssooooooo good to me.

What I enjoyed about doing this (besides lunch later) was that the set up was very simple, as I explained above. And the lighting turned out just as I hoped. It was my first time using a snoot and it did just what it was supposed to do -- focus the light right where I wanted it.

Make my bed out of Wonder Bread, spread some mustard upon my head.
I don't want no onions or sauerkraut, mamma, hold on to the bun baby,
work it on out.
I'm a chilidog. I guess you guessed by now, babe.
Sure enough, I'm a chilidog mama, look at me, delicious.

Great shot as it really makes me hungry. Something strange about living here, chili dogs are breakfast food. My employees think I'm crazy if I eat them at lunch.

LOL. Breakfast food!?! Not in my neck of the woods.

Gotta have onions and cheese. Sauerkraut is for bratwurst.
