Say that ten times fast.
Speaking of photography and all things wonderful. Last night I ordered a Godox V350 flash with a small diffuser. The flash connects to the top of the camera and the flash can point up (for bounce), or shoot directly at the subject. That's where the diffuser comes in. If I shoot the directly at a tiny bug or flower, the light is hard. Once I slap that diffuser on there, the light becomes softer.
Think bright sunny day, no clouds = hard light.
Think cloudy (with a chance of meatballs), with sun = soft light.
I can't hear cloudy without also hearing with a chance of meatballs. I dunno why? Just like I can't say the word lightbulb, without also saying it in Gru's accent.
"Lightbulb."
Love that line.
"I hate that guy" and "It's so fluffy" also excellent lines.
What kind of blog am I writing today? I dunno. I got zero focus. Can't keep a thought in my head other than, is it Thursday yet? And how do I attach this flash?
Speaking of Thursday, over at Shug's blog she does a TRY IT THURSDAY. I love the fun! Trying new things, rocks.
Click Shug's Blog to play along.
In other news, I cannot say this enough. I'm soooooo happy that the video camera gear is OUT of the kitchen and almost everything kitchen related is back in place. My world makes sense again.
Heaven I say, heaven.
In other, other news, I just made a single serving, non-dairy mac and cheese in the 3qt Mini Instant Pot. Everything in one pot, five minutes on high, no leftovers and easy to clean. This is a spin on my mom's mac and cheese, only with non-dairy cheese and instead of tomatoes I used water and salsa.
Get in my belly.
And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print.
Huggs and Bugs, Me.
Enjoy your day!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You too! Loved your cherry post.
Delete"He's so fluffy!" is one of my favorites too. Of course you have to say it with the proper tone. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's been a bit chilly here too the last couple of days but no snow. Today it's sunny blue skies.
Have a great day !!
Such a funny line and it's one I say with the same fun. Great movie.
Delete"Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" - me too!
ReplyDeleteSnow here yesterday, predicted again today... but at least it's not accumulating.
I think you need to start sharing some of these pics!
Yesterday and the day before for us. Burrrr. Here's hoping spring comes soon.
DeleteYes, once I start playing with the new bit of gear, I'll share. Excited. Hope it arrives early tomorrow.
I haven't hear the line "cloudy with a chance of meatballs" in a long time. It's funny how certain words will spark something like that.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's been for ever and yet, it's still sparked in my brain today. Too funny.
DeleteThat's awesome! Think I'll go with 'King Bob!'
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one too!
DeleteLove this "scattered" post. That's the way my mind has been lately. I think I need to go on a macro walk really, really soon.
ReplyDeleteSue
Much thanks. I was writing this and thinking, wow, I'm really all over.
DeleteMacro walks are wonderful. Can't wait to see what you shoot.
I need to have a unscattered post, because it seems I am doing that with all that I touch.. hither and thither and yon and yonder. I love that last drawing of you smiling and even the mixer is smiling,. what ever you post is fine with me because its always HAPPY
ReplyDeleteYon and yonder. Good words. Thank you for the nice words. Loving your banners.
Deletegot you comment on digital page and those were done in 2002 through 2006, when I first discovered what the word software and edit photos meant.
DeleteI wondered how I landed there. I clicked something and that was the post. I didn't even know it was from a million years ago. lololol.
DeleteI hear you on 'almost always glad I did' not least because what I didn't want to do is done. Cleaning today. Including bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's one of those things for sure. Guess what? I have bubble stuff chilling in the fridge for tomorrow morning. If it's gonna still be winter here, I might as well take advantage. I loved your bubbles.
DeleteI look forward to seeing some photos taken with the new flash and diffuser.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Once I play, I'll shoot a few with and withouts.
DeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt really was.
Delete... and you thoroughly enjoyed your single serving of non-dairy mac and cheese.
ReplyDeleteIt's been nice and sunny in my part of the UK, most of the schools are on Easter Holiday Break ... hoping the good weather lasts a little longer.
All the best Jan
I loved it. I'm excited to try a cauliflower steak with vegan cheese and some of my fave spices. Thank you!
DeleteGreat that you got a new flash for your camera. I'd love to see some of the pictures you take with it. I've had my camera for so long, but it's still loyal to me. Yes, Shug's Try It Thursday is inspirational. Gives us fun things to try out. I'm glad you got your kitchen back in order. It's still cold here too in the mornings, and forecast says we may get snow in May! Have a wonderful week.

**the font I use is Short Stack in large font. It's delightful, and I came across it a a while back. ; )
DeleteHi Sheri! I will for sure share some once I play a bit. Some with the diffuser and with outs. Shug has a great blog. Good energy.
DeleteThank you. I love fun font. I love fonts. They are so fun. Thank you.
DeleteYou seem to have fun no matter the day...Good!
ReplyDeleteSome days I don't. I post those too. I have grumpy spatula days and posts. But this is an easy one to be excited about. New photo toys.
DeleteThat sounds like a fun photography gadget to play with. Looking forward to seeing your photos using it.
ReplyDeleteMac 'n' cheese is just so yummy and I'm hungry now!
Useful tools and toys for the win. Arrives between 10:10-2:10 - cannot wait, cannot wait, cannnot wait. Do you pressure cook?
DeleteNo, I don't have one of those insta pots at the moment but if it means less washing up maybe I should look into it further. I'm holding on to the thought for future reference.
DeleteI love mine. I love the one pot meals and also making tea in them, broth, yoghurt. It was one of those things I bought to cook raw beans and ended up with three different electric pressure cookers. If I can answer any questions, just shoot.
DeleteSuch a cheerful post! I must look at that blog, thanks for the referral!
ReplyDeleteIn a cheerful mood for sure. New toys arriving between 10:10-2:10. Wishing you a well day. Glad to read you got cleared.
DeleteNo snow, no frost here but Mac and cheese and meatballs would be welcomed! Will you show us some of your pictures?
ReplyDelete( I will order from Amazon Dubai now and no more parcel will be sent !)
That's good that you're gonna go with bill to ship too and have it sent that way. That should work great. I do that myself here as well when we send gifts. Yes, for sure I'll share pictures. I'm waiting today for it to arrive. Should be here between 10:10 am and 2:10 pm. Cannot wait to play.
DeleteI love how you get so excited by your new toys.
ReplyDeleteI truly am. Should be here between 10:10 am and 2:10 pm. Too wet outside to play. I'll give it a go indoors for now. Very much excited. I've not played with flash like this yet.
DeleteAll fun stuff ... the Mac Cheese is a for sure! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carla!
DeleteThat sounds like the ideal dish. I hate washing dirty pans.
ReplyDeleteBaking paper is a friend then for sure. I do that sometimes just so I don't have to wash up as much.
DeleteLOL...gurl you crack me up with some of your lines. I have not heard Cloudy with a chance of meatballs in a LONG time. My "Try It Thursday" wasn't so good today...I think I need a new smoothie recipe. LOL. I'm interested in trying some of your recipes..you must share!
ReplyDeleteHey Shug. When I make blender drinks I just toss in things I like and play. The last one I made was with strawberry and lemon. Sorta like a pink drink from SB only with better ingredients. Thank you for your interest. Working toward that book.
DeleteWhat a relief to be done with your recording. Three cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice not to trip over stuff only now I have a problem as to where to shoot.
DeleteIt's been silly cold at my house too. And your Mac and cheese sounds delicious. I like the idea of a mini instant pot.
ReplyDeleteThe mini is the best. So easy to clean.
DeleteWow, you are an expert photographer!!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Not I. Though I am enjoying photography a great deal. Thanks for stopping in. Happy weekend.
DeleteI LOVE my 3 qt Instant Pot...and macaroni with tomatoes...spells Spring!
ReplyDeletehugs
Donna
Such a useful too, Donna. Love that you love your 3 qt as well. I also love how easy to clean. The best.
DeleteIts been very pleasant weather-wise in Austin, Texas this week. Summer starts next week. I'm not ready. Your mac and cheese sounds good!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had it pleasant for a bit there. That part is good. Snowing lightly as I write today. Burrrr. Heat cranked.
Deletei LOVE to stay home and i LOVE going out, i just need to plan things. if i have a day out, i need to make sure the next day i am home!! mac and cheese for one sounds good....i use stoffers and think it is so good BUT perhaps they use dairy cheese which i guess you can't have. that's easy too with zero cleanup!! i don't have an instapot and i just got an air fryer, i am late to the party!!
ReplyDeleteThe next day home sounds like a good plan! Air fryers are neat too! I don't have a conventional air fryer anymore. I have just the air fryer oven lid and it goes on things. Same idea. Same fun. Instapots if you ever decide to get one are soooooo fun. And the 3 qt mini is easy to clean. Bonus.
DeleteI love Mac n' Cheese and yours sounds interesting but I don't know of these pots you talk about. In fact, despite it being 6 a here in the UK I could just eat a Mac n' Cheese.
ReplyDeleteHate to say but we have just had over a week of gorgeous sunshine. Yours will come, promise.
The new diffuser sounds great and you seem to understand photography. Sadly I use my mobile.
Hugs, Neet xx
Hey Neet! I could eat the same thing each day too! And some days, I do.
DeleteI'm at the point now where I'm back filling my photography education and also learning gobs of new things.
Nothing wrong with a cell phone camera. The best camera is the ones in our hands at the moment! Phones work!
