This past Saturday I went to a photography workshop called "Photo by You". I learned the basics of shooting in manual mode on my camera (the one I've had for 4 years now and have always shot in auto mode...). It was surprisingly simple and in just a few hours I felt like I could start shooting manual (although it's going to take a lot of practice and time before I'm "good" at it). Here are some photos I took today with my new camera.
2 lb beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ Asian pear or ¼ kiwi—peeled, cored and minced (not optional. This acts as a meat tenderizer.)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup soy sauce
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp rice wine or Korean cooking wine
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp minced fresh ginger or 1/8 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
In a large Ziploc bag, combine beef with all other ingredients. Seal and refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat grill pan over medium heat. Brush oil over grill pan, and add beef. Cook, turning to brown evenly, until done.
Serve with rice, wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves (much like a taco shell).

I'm impressed Tamara! Shooting decent photographs is on my long-term learn-to-do list, so you're a big step ahead of me! And that last recipe looks like something we'd really enjoy. I'll have a give it a try!
Now that sounds like a super fun class!!! And those are some great shots. Don't you love it when they turn out and you think, "Yeah, I took that." :)
Yeah, I'm really glad I learned how. And you know what...it's not that complicated! I definetly need to practice before I'm "good" at it and it comes natural, but if I had known how simple it was I would have done this a few years ago!
I need a photography class. I bought one on groupon, I just need to schedule it. Looks like you learned a lot! I want to try that recipe too!
