Lazy

I hate Autumn, I really do. I feel like the season really drains me of my energy. The gloomy,cold weather and time change leaves me with no desire but to lounge and veg out. Not good.  Plus impossible to do when you have two Midgets running around.

New England weather is especially dreary this time of year, which means bad photos.

 

 

It hard to get decent pictures, especially in a kitchen that lets hardly any light in. So the blogging process is therefore lengthened as I have to spend so much time editing pictures.

Here is where the lazy part comes in. I had a way to help with this lack of light, but I’ve been way too lazy to make an effort.

 

I have two photography lights that I actually use when I take pictures of the Midgets indoors. The thing is that I’ve always relied on Mr. M to set them up and I have been to lazy to attempt to set them up myself.

Finally, yesterday I accepted that this weather is here to stay and I needed to get off my butt and continue to work on my food photography.

It’s amazing what the addition of the lights and putting my camera on a tripod did to my pictures.

So much better. Plus, it minimized the amount of shots I took and photo editing was done in two steps.

 

So here is what I added. One of my photography lights (purchased on Amazon.com), plus a tripod.

 

I also stole Midget N’s step stool. I am a midget myself, only 5’2” and the step stool gave me better shooting range. Awesome.

 

 

Yes, I’m a dork and turned my kitchen into a studio but I am so happy I did. I am happy I got over my laziness, and kicked the crap out of Autumn. It really made my day to be able to do something that I love, and it has even inspired me to start shooting in RAW mode. Another thing I’ve been wanting to figure out, but I was just too lazy to do.  I’ll let you know how it goes.
