A Cinnamon Bun Changed My Life

July 8, 2010

Ok, now don’t get me wrong. I really enjoyed learning all about Thermador’s new Steam and Convection Oven as well as their other innovative appliances, but one of the major highlights of my day was snapping photos of a cinnamon bun!! (It was cooked in Theramdor’s Steam Oven! ;-) )

Diane of the White On Rice Couple showed me some really neat things to do with my camera. Even though I’ve spent hours and hours pouring over my camera manual, just a few minutes with Diane made a huge difference! Check out these sexy cinnamon bun shots!

Looks delicious, right?!? :-D  It’s crazy how just a few minor adjustments can really improve the quality of your photos. I can’t wait to use Diane’s tips and tricks in my everyday photography.

We’re heading to dinner in a little while, so I’ll have a full recap of our day later this evening or first thing tomorrow. I’m also hosting a feta giveaway in the morning, so get ready!!

That looks so delicious! :)
I actually need to change some settings on my camera, too. I love taking photographs and am pretty good but when it comes to food I just point and shoot. :( It doesn’t look appetizing at all. I need to put in more effort, haha.
