All the week’s veggies are cooked: Steamed kale, brussel spouts and green beans, baked spaghetti squash and acorn squash. (And plenty of broccoli and baby carrots on hand as Ray doesn’t like cooked, soft, veggies. It’s a texture thing.)
Costco’s 2-to-a-package flank steak has been dehydrated for healthy snacks. (Who says you only make beef jerky for backpacking trips.) Ray is a happy camper as his favorite golfing snack is the beef jerky I make.
Chicken is cooked and vacum sealed for air tight freezing.

While looking at the finished chicken, I thought, “I could kill two birds with one stone………A blog photo and cooked, ready to eat chicken”.

Planning ahead.

So I remember:
Canon EF 50mm 1:1.4 lens
Exposure 4.0 sec at f/20
ISO 100
Manual focus

I took a number of shots. I got out the diffuser/deflector and tried holding in various positions to alter light from the kitchen door, hopefully preventing bright/hot spots on the pan. I noticed I got rid of the hot pan spots but then the chicken lacked highlights and looked dull. I ended up taking a flash light and quickly moving it over the chicken during the 4 second exposure.
