A look from above

I love the whole above the table shot, but it's hard to do with my usual 50mm and somehow I don't think standing on my chair at a place like Per Se is gonna go over particularly well. With a point and shoot, I can just reach as high as I can, attempt to aim and hope for the best.

Here's a weekend of lunch/brunch eats. I like it when you can see snippets of my dining companions, and I feel like the above the table shot tells more of a complete story than my usual standalone dish photos.

Nothing quite beats brunch fare.

  1. You always seem to eat at the fanciest of places! :P (I'm curious as to the average price of a meal for you)

    Great shots as usual, and I agree with the "getting a glimpse of the person you're eating with" :)

  2. Wonderful set! Yes, that snippet of eating companion(s) is a good thing. And the S95(?) is a nice thing.
