A lot of the blogs I follow and for that matter a lot of Face Book folks I follow have a tendency of showing shots of their food in their posts.  I’ve always enjoyed seeing those images especially some of the more exotic concoctions.  The problem is I don’t like to take my DLSR into a restaurant to only take a picture of my food.

What to do.  I suppose I could use my smart phone camera but I’ve never been a big fan of those.  I know some people swear by the iPhone camera and I have version 5.0 but I really don’t like taking pictures with it.   So today I’m having lunch with my friend Dave and I decide to whip out my new point and shoot camera and take a picture of my food.

“What the hell are you doing?” was his first response.  🙂  Taking a picture of my food.  Then he gave me the look as if to say are you stupid?  Obviously he is not into food photography.

So last week I got an email from Nikon (I’m a good customers of theirs) and they recognize that I have NAS (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome) so they periodically send me offers that cannot be refused.   Well last week there was such an offer.  It was for a little point and shoot camera that was being discontinued and it was being offered for a great price.  I had enough reward points saved up that I was able to buy this little guy for under $50.

I wish I would have had it earlier in my 365 project as there are many times during the day that I would take a quick picture of something if I had a decent camera with me.  The only downside is it doesn’t shoot in RAW but it is a 14 mp camera and takes decent shots.

Now for the really bad news.  This was my second plate full.  I’m so bad and then I wonder why I am not losing any weight.  😦

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your midweek hump day.  Be careful.
