• Jennie-O Turkey Breakfast Sausage. Highly recommended!
  • This shadow is caused by the foam core board blocking the legs of the umbrella stand from view. In context, it's a strange to be here...
  • Note to self: next time, move plate left to allow space for knife. Straight on, the spacing was fine. Need to take camera angle into account.
  • Note to self: straighten fork!

Breakfast - By the time I got around to eating it, it was BRUNCH

Shot for the Nikon D40/x/D60 Challenge: Week 152 - Breakfast.

Didn't take long to eat, but sure took a long time to prepare, set up and shoot! See setup in the next photo in my stream.
Strobist Info: SB-50DX fired at 1/1 into umbrella at 2 o'clock position triggered by Wein optical trigger. SB-600 tethered to camera w/ SC-29 cord and set to 1/16 power and fired at ceiling for fill / trigger. White reflector at subject left. Westcott diffusers and reflectors positioned over room windows to help control ambient light and stray reflections.

    Is that hamburger?

    I like your table.

    It's turkey breakfast sausage. Thanks for the comment on the table. It's a mission-style oak table and we really like it. Since I tend to set up many of my photo shoots there, it's featured in more than one Flickr photo!

    Looking good. Could see myself on the outside of that :-)

    Nice! Makes me want to dig in and eat!!!

    Looks great. The only thing I could think of to improve it is to cut it off before the far edge of the table.

    Thanks for the comment. I looked at the crop a couple of times -- even moved the fruit bowl once and re-shot. Didn't want to crop any closer or I'd have the edge of the orange right on the edge of the photo. Only other fix would've been a slightly higher camera angle. I picked what I thought was the lesser of two evils.

    LOL, I bet you tried to do a quick shot... and then started with an umbrella, and then the trigger, and then... until "oh, it's 12.30 and I haven't had breakfast yet" came to your mind LOL!

    It was sort of like that. Fortunately, I wasn't starving when I started, and fortunately I had the presence of mind to do all of the setup and test shots BEFORE I cooked anything. Food was actually still hot when I was all done!

    Nice shot. What a well balanced breakfast and a nice composition. The setup shot is nice to see as well to understand how you got the picture.

    Hello, I love your picture and because it is under creative commons license I used it for a work about the breakfast of children

  27. CliffMuller (26 months ago | reply)

    Thanks! Sorry I missed this post earlier. Would love to have a link your article if it was on a blog/internet site.

  28. odulcidovul (26 months ago | reply)

    oh it wasn't for an article or a blog but for school. it was just a work in a classroom with 10 years old kids. I used several pictures of breakfast to learn them what is a good breakfast
