a norwegian christmas dinner








once again we are all feasting on food. this time it is all about the norwegian traditions. pork,gravy, mashed tators and of course akavit. this is a hardcore shooter that most norwegians indulge in during the holidays. i passed on this cause i'm pretty sensible when it comes to hard stuff. besides, i'm drivin. and plus i'm a weakling when it comes to drinkypoos. i like the angle on the food shots. it gives me a sense of the mood and tastes and quite frankly makes for a nice photo. all shots were at about iso 400-800 and f2.8. this is ideal for the conditions at that time. it's dark and i hate to use flash-emergencies only. although the shot of mom cooking could have deserved a fill flash, jist a teeny bit to highlight her face-but what can ya do. at least i knew that was necassary. i also like the shot of tore. my eyes start at the food in the foreground and sort of force you to zig zag through the bottles which lead you to his face. too bad there is a napkin poking him in the mouth. it just makes it more interesting. he looks content. our tummies were happy.
