Was taken out to dinner yesterday and the whole company went. This was the Gotham Bar and Grill. As with all fine dining places, the lighting is very dim, so it made it difficult for me to take photos, although for once, ISO2000 and the lens at f/2 allowed me to take photos at 1/50s. Go D300! Heh, just included some samples of the food we had.

Tuna Tartare

Foie Gras on caramelised pineapple

Strangely enough, everyone had different opinions of the food served that night. Everything looked a little too dark for me, but tastewise, the food was pretty good I felt. This is my second try of foie gras, and this was pan seared, which gave it a little more oil and a fatty taste to it, as opposed to the pate format at Per Se.

The weird photo colours are due to me playing with white balance only later on. I still believe in lighting my subjects, but at a restaurant, it was already quite inappropriate of me flashing my big camera while everyone was preparing to eat. Heh, my boss made sure I noticed that.
