First shots

Grabbed a bite a Korean pub last night and snapped a few shots. Used Cuban class recipe. Would love some feedback 🙏🏼

First try cooking picanha - how’d I do?

Been seeing picanha lately at my butcher and decided to give it a try. Dry brined with coarse salt overnight. Sous vide at 135 for 5 hours, and then seared with tallow.

First time cooking beef cheek tacos. Need advice please.

Picked up some beef cheeks over the weekend and I want to sous vide them to make tacos.

What temp / time should I try?
Any seasoning besides salt?
Should I use a liquid in the bag?
If so, could a birria type liquid work?

I’ve been taking my camera out to dinner but really struggle with getting good food shots. Would appreciate some tips!

- I try to be quick as to not hold up the flow of the meal
- lighting is typically moody and dim
- optimal angles to shoot food at?

Thanks!

I bought the Saatva classic in the plush. It’s been 6 months and starting to develop lower back pain. Feels like it’s sagging.

Anyone have experience with returns / exchanges within the trial period?

I currently use the Hoage square metal hood with a cinebloom filter. I find the setup to be too bulky and it’s causing me to reach for my camera less to carry around with me.

What are some other options I should consider?
