Year In Pictures: 2010/04/01

The hot dog vendor in front of our building has been taking advantage of the freakishly warm weather to get an early start on the season. I'm not complaining.

From top to bottom: Dijon mustard, sauerkraut and dill pickle slices; regular mustard, sweet relish, a generous helping of onion and a shot of barbecue sauce to add some colour.



I tried shooting these from 2-3 different angles before going with the view that I chose for my PoTD. I actually preferred the end view (see below) in most respects except that the perspective made the pickles look odd. Both pictures were shot at 1/180th of a second with an aperture of f/8.0. The top picture is cropped, modestly sharpened, and colour-corrected since I took it from the raw file. The second picture is the untouched JPEG from my camera.

Would you like some hot dog with your condiments?

Obviously, you've never been to Chicago...

What can I say? I love my dogs with the works. We have a fairly new restaurant in town named Dingo's (http://www.wowhospitality.ca/restaurants/dingos_menu.html) that serves hot dogs with a variety of interesting toppings.

One of their more interesting is:
PB & J
Peanut butter, strawberry jelly, fresh strawberries, crushed peanuts and Cap'n Crunch.

I tried one of those - better than it sounds.
