I love Inka
Especially when it's hot and foamy. It's a grain-based beverage that, according to the canister it came in, is from Poland (not Latin America, as I had thought before I read the canister).
Process notes:
I forgot to bring my camera when I left the house today, so I had to do my detail when I got home at 7:45 pm. The light posed a small challenge, and I found myself aimlessly circling in the house wondering what I could possibly photograph. But once I got started I took a lot of photos and it was hard to choose just one to post.
Shooting at home removed the self-consciousness factor -- I felt silly yesterday stooped over a hedge on the sidewalk in the middle of a snowstorm with my not so professional looking camera buried in the leaves. At home I took many more variations of the same picture, and I learned from the process. I also discovered two new features on my camera -- high image resolution and manual focus.
My last note is that I was deciding between two images to post and having a hard time choosing. I had the Inka photo (above) and a super close-up of the knobs on my partner's telescope. In my heart I was wanting to post the Inka photo (because I love Inka), but I thought the other one was more technically interesting (and therefore more impressive, perhaps?). Once I realized the crux of choice the I was facing, it was an easy decision. I'm glad I decided to go with my heart instead of my head. Life lessons as well as photographic ones here at detail-a-day.
I say again, and I'm sure I'll repeat: this is experiment is proving fruitful already.
