How to Get Better Brighter Photos In Low Light

by

In the past, on this kind of cloudy day I would've just waited for a sunnier day to take my blogging pictures.  But then there were those times I couldn't wait because I was taking pictures of our dinner meal that wasn't ready until the evening and only using our awful kitchen fluorescent lighting.  So, I quickly realized I needed to figure this manual thing out. You'll be so proud of yourself when you stop using the flash for indoor pictures.  Of course, there are professional flashes and … [Read more...]

I love chipotle and I try to sneak it in to as many recipes as possible.  Though the smoky and tangy flavor is not one you can truly "sneak" in without someone noticing.  This Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect way to get your family to enjoy some healthy snacking.  In my opinion, if you don't add too much chipotle seasoning all it does to the hummus is give it a smoky flavor which some of you may prefer. I was asked to write a recipe for one of the brands I've been working for this month … [Read more...]
