Adventures In 105

Angry Gardner — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:19:48 +0000

Yeah this is way late, I mean way, way late. I rented a 105mm macro lens for my daughter’s spring dance concert. I have rented several different lenes since I got my first camera, however, this was the first that I felt like it was a must have.

Here is a collection of pictures I was able capture in the short time that I had this amazing lens. If anyone wants to donate to the [...]

Tulips Days

Angry Gardner — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:09:12 +0000

I know I am not keeping this blog up to date. My 365 Challenge (link to the right) is taking all of my blog fodder. Yesterday the Family and I met up with my sister-in-law after a baby shower for my step-sister. The baby shower was in Nephi and so there are a couple of pictures from there. Then it was off to Thanksgiving Point and Tulip Days. I thought it was a little over [...]

Fall Into Spring Chicken Penne

Angry Gardner — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:12:12 +0000

I would say that this is made with two of my favorite ingredients, but I am starting to believe that my favorite just happens to be the ones I am using today. Today’s favorites are from the opposite ends of the growing season hence fall into spring.

This like many of my recipes is a “what the crap am I going to do with the that ingredient”. Generally, that ingredient will go bad if I don’t [...]

“Kaula” Pork

Angry Gardner — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 06:00:37 +0000

1 pork roast roughly 6lb I used a Boston Butt (yes, I know it is the shoulder I didn’t make up the names) 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped 1/4 cup dried pineapple chopped 1 med onion 4 crushed garlic cloves 3 bay leaves 1/4 cup brown sugar (if you like it [...]

A Day For Pictures

Angry Gardner — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:42:53 +0000

This is way later than it should be, by more than a month. I counted today and I and behind by 6 posts. My goal is to be completely caught up by the weekend, we’ll see if I can actually pull it off.

I am not sure the exact day that I got my camera, but Presidents Day 09 was the first time I really used it. In honor of that day [...]

You Should’ve Been Sick

Angry Gardner — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:12:09 +0000

You know who you are.

Saturday was the photowalkingutah.com studio lighting event, well more like extravaganza. I’d like to say I was in control and knew exactly what I was doing. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was fairly clueless and completely terrified. The first station was the lensbaby my hands were shaking so bad that @nicolesy had to help me change my lens out. It got a little [...]

One Thing’s For Sure

Angry Gardner — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:05:58 +0000

@nicoleys I ain’t One of the local photographers that I follow is Nicole Young. She is an amazing talent, and she is very willing to share her knowledge. If you are not blog stalking (link) her you are making a critical mistake. Lately, she has been doing food photographs with tips and methods to make better looking food pictures. So here is what I have picked up so far. Remember any problems are the [...]

Roasted Garlic

Angry Gardner — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:45:26 +0000

For what it is worth I loved Roasted Garlic long before it became en-vogue. The Italians actually use this as a toast topping (called a crostini) I have to admit that I love it on a thin slice of a hard chewy bread with a drizzle of Balsamic vinegar. The recipe is really easy and the payout is huge. Try it sometime. 25mm f/5 1/800s

2 heads of garlic cut so the ends are exposed (for a [...]

My First Official Protrait Sitting

Angry Gardner — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:06:41 +0000

So I had a “client” (the lady who let me buy my camera) tell me that she wanted pictures done of her two year old son. I was very happy to accommodate her with this request. I am SUPER happy with how the pictures turned out. I learned a couple of things: like it is really tough to shoot for the crop (we wanted 8X10s), and getting lighting right is very tricky, but it is [...]

Photography Is Your Name

Angry Gardner — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:00:00 +0000

And frustration is your game.Last night I went to Temple Square to take some pictures. I went alone so that I could take all the time I needed. Anyway, I waited 40 minutes in the church office “plaza” waiting for the following shot to clear of people. 40 minutes in the rain/snow standing in one place worrying if my battery is going to die before getting to take to the picture I want, worrying about [...]
