Turned out very nice, I'm a red meat lover but I get it.... a little variety.

This was an indoor cook, no action tonight. A little avacodo oil, salt, and raw shrimp in the pan. Took just a moment.

Some white corn tortillas on a dry skillet for a minute or so and build. Mrs philpom made some fresh guacamole and chopped some purple cabbage. Topped with some fire roasted hot salsa.

Thanks for looking! This was a pretty low calorie dinner and extremely tasty. The fresh cabbage gave a nice crunch and the corn tortillas with the guacamole added that flavor we all recognize as tacos!

Cheers

Those look Awesome!! I would smash a plate of those!! Question, how are you taking pics? Last few times I have posted from my iPhone 15 I have to crop big time to get them to post. Just curious as your pics are amazing looking!!

Thanks, Sean
 
LOOKS GREAT! F yes cabbage in tacos! We got turned onto shrimp tacos at a brewery not to far from us. Took a few trials and return visits to dial in but got it. Key was grilled onion and loose cilantro.

Agree with Redicans Redicans the photos as KILLER. Looks beyond smart phone to me. Amateur photog myself. Want to jump in to full frame.

Thank you, both of you!

I take 100% of my photos using a Galaxy S10 phone. Tri-camera 16mp with HDR enabled.
I think the most important part is lighting followed by stability of the camera. I use bright natural light or bright 5000 Kelvin LED. 5K is very close to daylight. My photos are mostly taken from 10" to 20" distance.

When keeping the camera still I try to brace it on something, even my belly :) breathing sometimes moves it too much. I take multiple shots so I can pick and choose. I I crop from time to time if I want to set a frame.

I'm a hack but I hope this is useful info! Oh, clean the lense!

Thank you again,

Mark
 
Oh yeah HDR. Tried and did not like it. Will have to revisit since you figured it out keeping it still. THANKS

Beautiful tacos. I still cant like Shrimp tacos for some reason. I think its because I've about had my lifedose of shrimp. I could live the rest of my life and never have another sea bug, but my wife still loves them...as well as fish tacos, which I also dont care for. The only way I can actually enjoy either is if the shrimp or fish is breaded and deep fried. People love their seafood tacos though so its not about me! I force myself to make shrimp for the Mrs. once in a while.

I thought I was the last one on the planet still using an S10...well, mine's an S10+ because I wanted the large screen...hate using small screens. My company provides mine and I'm way past upgrade-able but I dont want a new phone. The S10+ works great for me. Great pics, rips the internet just fine at 4G and I've looked at the new phones and dont like them. Whats up with all the protruding lenses? I have and use a case/jacket, but still, I just dont like them. I'll keep the S10 until I have to upgrade for some reason!

Yesterday I had buffalo shrimp tacos. Yep, breaded and deep fried shrimp covered in buffalo topped with the usual fixings but they add a little blue cheese and that just makes it for me.

Those look fantastic ! I like the cabbage too , along with some sliced radish .

My Son got a new product at work . Fresh tortillas . Have to cook them at home . I think they're 50/50 flour and corn . Good stuff .

Galaxy S10 phone.
I have an old S4 that takes awesome pictures . When I bought my S10 I went with the E . not realizing the camera was different than the regular 10 . Still aggravates me .
Your photos look awesome .
