Vanilla Ice Cream with Strawberries and Balsamic Syrup

A few weeks ago I told you of my love for learning about writing and this week I’ve learned a few things about photography. When I got to my parents’ house, I pulled up my blog on their computer and was mortified to see so many pictures with a horrible yellow overcast. When I edited them on my computer at home the white balance looked fine. I quickly called my brother into the room and asked him if there is such a thing as color-correcting a monitor. He said yes and told me of a software program that corrects monitor color problems. Wow, I had no idea. He told me the color balance of a computer monitor can change over time, requiring periodic correction.

Later, I saw a 3′ x 5′ wood floor sample sitting in a room and thought it would be fun to take pictures with my food on top (a bit of a Tartelette look). I grabbed my Dad’s huge camera, got everything ready, but the camera wouldn’t shoot (probably because I didn’t know how to use it). Soon the few fleeting minutes of opportunity quickly passed, the ice cream melted, and I ran inside to grab my camera. What I thought would be a fun and easy photo shoot turned into shots of half-melted ice cream with a camera I don’t know how to use. Why I ever thought taking pictures outside in 100 degree heat was a good idea is beyond me.

In the end, I gave my kids each a melted sundae and enjoyed one of my own. I guess every day can’t go exactly as planned. It’s worthwhile if we learn something, though.

    That's always how it turns out for me. A fast photo always turns into something much more complicated.I definitely need to white balance my screen. Thanks for the link. I hope the process is an easy one!

    I'm having a heck of a time photographing ice cream. It is a puddle in minutes, about as long as it takes me and the camera to synchronize. Oh well, melted ice cream tastes just as good.Kathleen

    Love the pics! You inspired me to go outside and re-shoot some banana bread photos I'd just posted. :) Though I'm still holding out for the Canon Fairy to visit ... :)
