My friends Dave and Leslie own and operate Da-Le Ranch in Lake Elsinore, CA. Leslie posts photos of some of the goings-on on Facebook and other social media, and I have a tendency to add my two cents to them.
Western Omelet, rye toast, home fries, and coffee - fairly standard fare for any diner, and a good test of their overall quality.
During the week I am very good about watching what I eat and try to stay healthy. However, on Sundays I get up early, and head out in the truck to find a diner that I haven’t eaten at before. My favorite test of a diners food is always the same; Western Omelet, home fries (crunchy), rye toast – actually toasted and not that sponge they try to pass off, and last but not least, good fresh hot coffee.
This past Sunday I stopped at a diner on Rt. 37 (no names), and could only give it two stars. Overcooked eggs, and spongy toast. I gave them a try.
The parking lot and my view; I suppose the overcrowded lot should have been a clue.
The photos were made with my Nikon D90, no flash, ISO 400 and a lot of stares as to why was I making a photograph of my breakfast. I explained that it was a religious ritual and everyone just backed away.
I post processed with Nik Software’s Snapseed running on my iMac. Fantastic software, I also have it installed on my iPad and both products are easy to work with and very intuitive. I’m also a big fan of their complete collection of plug-ins for Aperture 3.xx, Lightroom, and Photoshop. More on that topic in the future.
