I think your picture looks great! You will get the hang of usinng manual mode in no time!
This cake sounds soooo good. I want to make it using blueberries like right now! Back For Seconds recently posted..Sweet ‘N Salty Mix
you will get the hang of manual mode!! It’s much easier than you think. My one piece of advice is to just take as many pictures as possible, changing the f/stop, shutter speed, + ISO one at a time. Find what works best for your dish and the lighting you’re in! It takes time, but you’ll get there Ashley! I still think this coffee cake looks amazing! sally @ sally’s baking addiction recently posted..mini (no yeast) cake batter cinnamon buns.
i think the pic still looks great! =) and this coffee cake? sounds amaaaazing. definitely going to try this for our next brunch party! amy @ fearless homemaker recently posted..creamy fettuccine with corn + arugula
This looks awesome, Ashley! Coffee cake has to be one of my fave breakfast foods. Like a cinnamon roll meets a pastry meets a cake–what’s not to love?! Thanks for the disclaimer about the yeast being foolproof; silly me, I’m STILL scared and STILL have yet to experiment with it. One of these days!
Also, I don’t think I’ve shot on manual unless I needed my flash for something. Most of the time, I shoot on aperture and I love it. But, just like you, I am totally lost with these DSLR’s and know all of one function to get my pictures taken and loaded haha. One day (perhaps my yeast conquering day!) I’ll figure it all out… I hope! Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel recently posted..Blueberry Muffin Donuts
Yum! I want some of the this cake for breakfast!!! How delish!!! You have seen the insane camera that Steve has! It has more settings and button on it than the International Space Statation!!! All I know how to do is turn the flash on and off and put it in auto or manual focus. Forget all that fancy stuff!!! I would love a class on how to use the darned thing! I started to read the manual and I needed a manual to understand the manual!!! Arrrg!!!! But I love your pic’s and your recipes! Keep it up!

I just use a point and shoot. Your photos look great and I’m sure you’re going to master this. I can’t wait to make this coffee cake! I agree with you too…just put the word “coffee” as first in the title and it’s all good. 🙂
I think your pictures look great…keep on using manual and you will conquer it in no time at all!!! I agree with Sally, take lots of pictures and move your setting for every one. If the pictures are too dark, open your f-stop wider. Still too dark, open the aperature. I read my manual that came with my camera, but really it was just by using it and practicing a whole lot that I finally feel like I know what I am doing. The coffee cake looks awesome and I am wanting a huge piece right about now!!! Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Trick or Treat Tuesday
Thanks so much for the advice, Jocelyn! I know I have LOTS of practice ahead of me to get to where I want to be…I’m just not very patient! =) I’ll just keep practicing and hopefully someday my pics will look as awesome as yours.

I think your pics are great. And the coffee cake even better. YUM looks so much better than the steel cut oats I had today.

This look incredible! I really need a slice.
I am learning how to take pictures of my food too. Your picture looks great though!
