Had to get up early today because I am headed down to Winthrop to volunteer in a community garden for Community Nutrition. After that, I’m grabbing a quick bite, finding a shower, and then going to campus for an information session and preq. exam for the dietetic internship next spring. It’s going to be a long day!! Tomorrow morning I have a super early meet + greet with the internship preceptors but then I have the rest of the day off (to study for Metabolism!)
So I set the alarm for 7 this morning and we were up and enjoying breakfast shortly. Since we were both thirsty from our drinks last night, cool yogurt was more appealing than oatmeal, so what to have for breakfast was an easy decision.
But what I couldn’t decide is whether the inside or outside photos were better. I took them outside but the lighting was weird because we have no sun, so I took a few inside too. You decide!
OUT
- 1 POM Chobani
- 1 medium banana
- 1/2 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch Honey Almond Flax
- Spoonful ground flax
- Spoonful raspberry preserves
- Drizzle maple syrup
Coffee coffee!
IN
Consumption: On the couch with my husband + house hunters!
Let’s get it started in heaya!
Rebecca says
Your breakfast looks fabulous either way!
maria says
I like the outside photos, personally, but they are both nice. And, as Rebecca said, your breakfast looks yumm-o! 🙂
Kristen says
I like outside, because we have the same weather…overcast and calming.
Inside is pretty because of your nice table! Enjoy your day! I am having a day of studying today like your Monday.
Julie @savvyeats says
I’d almost always say outside, but in this case, I’m leaning towards the inside ones… both sets are great though, with your new fancy camera 🙂
Lizzy says
for some odd reason i actually like the ones inside, because i like the contrast of the dark table up against the lightness of the bowl and your breakfast! but either way their beautiful! 🙂
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I like the inside photos!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I like the inside photos!
Christina MINDFUL LIVING says
nice combo!! my vote….INSIDE!
WEEKLY BITE says
Both photos looks great! But you can’t beat natural light!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Ellen @ Peace in Motion says
I love the shadows on the inside pics, but the outside ones are beauties! I am such a fan of natural light in pictures. Flashes ruin them!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
both are beautiful, but I’m a sucker for natural lighting so I say out 😉
VeggieGirl says
I like the outside shots 🙂
HOSUE HUNTERS!! Guilty pleasure t.v.
VeggieGirl says
um, I mean HOUSE* 😉
Jaci says
Gotta say outside! Good luck today and tomorrow!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
I totally say outside… the lighting is more distinct and makes the picture clearer. Either way, looks delicious! 🙂 Good luck on your busy day!
Leianna says
Love the outside pictures, nature is always the perfect backdrop!
House Hunters is a fun show!
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
I like the outside pics 🙂
Julia says
OUTSIDE!
(But it looks great in all the photo’s, ha ha!)

Gina says
They’re all great photos but I prefer the look of the inside ones! Have a great day!
christie, honoring health says
I also like the outside shots best, I think the colors are more vivid than the ones inside.
april says
I think natural lighting always works best for me but the pictures in your house still look awesome!
Ellen says
idk if it’s me, my computer, your camera, or what, but most of your photos with your new camera look a little out of focus on my screen? they’re beautiful pictures, but they all have a little bit of fuzziness.
Laura says
OUT!
The inside ones seem a bit out of focus.
Jenna says
I like the outside photos. Because, once the weather goes south here in MN, I can live vicariously through your weather 🙂
I have an obsession with House Hunters. I could watch that show all day…
Cynthia C. says
I love the indoor photos because your table is awesome. But it is nice to see the beautiful weather and stuff outside since we had frost this morning on the grass when Hunni walked the pooches. I think I’d save the indoors until after the weather goes south 🙂
Stephanie says
I think I like the inside better – really captures the food beautifully without other distractions and the lightening is awesome! 🙂
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
Outside for sure… the natural light makes it easier to focus an SLR lens, so your lines are sharper.
Jenn (www.j3nn.net) says
The outside pics are much better. I’ve come to realize that, tragically, lighting is 90% of a good pic and the lighting in our new house is less-than-desirable after the sun goes down. 🙁
After reading your first paragraph, I had to check the calendar to see what day it is; you made it sound like a Monday, not Sunday! lol I was worried! 🙂
Jenn
thepinkpeppercorn says
I like both sets of photos! I’d say that the outside ones are “better”, but the inside ones are more…thought provoking, kinda introverted or something. Cool either way 🙂 Have a great day – albeit a busy one!
Emily, homecookedem says
The outside ones are beautiful!! It’s cloudy and gray here in Atlanta too.
Have a great day!!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
I think in. Too bad it’s not sunnier. It’s really sunny here, but very cold–no fun. Is that a plain chobani with pom juice or a pomegranite chobani?
claire says
I like the outside ones better…a little softer.
Elizabeth says
I like the outside ones a lot. The table looks really pretty and they are really in focus! 🙂
Nicole says
I like the outside ones better!
Sophie says
I like outside better! Overcast is actually the best light to take pictures (when it comes to magazines). When I interned at a magazine this summer, they always planned outside photo shoots on overcast days, never when the sun was beaming down. If they sun was out, they waited until the sun was behind a cloud so they could shoot and the light wasn’t so harsh!
Jess says
Definitely outside. It’s much more clear and focused. Have a good day!
Jenna says
looks like a great breaky!
i absolutely love the outside pics better 🙂
jenna
Melissa says
Sounds like a typical weekend morning that I share with my boyfriend. We love to watch the home improvement shows on TLC.
Hope the gardening goes well!
maggie says
I really love the outdoor lighting the best. Looks like a really lovely breakfast…preserves always taste amazing in oatmeal. Just a side note, I think your focus on your camera is off…maybe your using the wrong setting or you havent adjusted it? Just wondering.
Maggie
Sarah says
Definitely the outside pictures.
Dani says
At the end of the day they both work, but if I had to choose I would go with the inside pics:). Enjoy your busy day!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
Oooh they’re so different–both beautiful! I like the contrast in the inside pics–but I think I’d go with the outsides for the natural lighting
April says
I like out because I love that table 🙂
kay (eating machine) says
I think outside? but both look good!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
As much as I like the outside ones because they are outside, the lighting looks better on the inside ones.
Abby @ Abby's VeGaN Eats says
I enjoy the outdoor shots!! As a fellow NC person, you need to take advantage of it while you can!! PS.. I love your bowls/dish sets etc. They always make your pics look sooo great. I should have had blogging in mind when my husband and I were registering for wedding stuff!!
Steph says
Inside, for sure!!!!!
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
I miss the sun!!! I think I like the inside pictures better, actually.
Sheri says
Mmmm..I think outside looks clearer and the lighting is not bad either. Inside they pictures are a little fuzzy…maybe not enough light.
I am currently playing with my camera too! I have a Canon 30D. I find that sometimes in low light situations you have to play with he appeture a bit.
oatmeal says
Taking pictures with natural lighting is definitely tricky!
The outside picture is more clear, but the inside picture has a nicer backdrop 😛
Also love the shape of the coffee cup!
Susan says
Hm, I actually like the indoor pictures more! The photos outside are crisper, but the ones indoors have more depth.
Kim says
Definitely outside photos, much brighter. Good luck on your test, I’m sure you’ll have no problem passing. : )
Kat (Kat's Daily Plate) says
I much prefer the outside shots! Love your table + the natural light.
Deb (SmoothieGirlEatsToo) says
Your photos lately are superb- makes me want to go to the camera store and trade up!!
Love the D&D mug. My cat LOVEs to tip over water or anything liquid, so we have to buy wide based cups!! So silly! I’ll have to be up one of those!! 🙂
Have a great Sunday Kath!
angieinatlanta says
Oh, I LOVE your coffee mug! It looks perfect for warming my hands on!
Sara says
I don’t know; maybe I’m in the minority, but I enjoy the photos taken wherever you are, otherwise it might seem a bit staged! That’s just me, though. That camera takes nice pictures anywhere, it seems.
skinnyrunner says
I like watching house hunters, esp the international ones to see what a place costs in different countries.
i like the outside pictures myself. happy sunday!
Lindsay says
Your breakfast looks fantastic both in and out! I love the table you had it on outside.
Laura @ Backstage Pass to Health & Happiness says
I like the indoors photos a little more because the background of the table and the texture of the wood surface looks more sleek 🙂
Cheers!

Erika says
I vote outside, but either way your yogurt looks fabulous!
Sheila says
I like the outside photos the best. They seem more pure and less gimmicky.
Definately do not like the last inside photo. Subject matter is too small, can’t see food, too moody for breakfast.
Brittany says
I think the outside photos are stunning. The first one in particular. I think your outdoor table makes the photo.
Lauren says
Definitely outside! Where do you get all your cute bowls?
Sidi says
“In or out?” reminds me of a great joke…
What does a frigid woman say? In or out?
Lynn @ The Actors Diet says
both look great, but i think i prefer the outside one – no, the inside….i don’t know!!!!
Julie says
I vote for outside.
AnnQ says
Gotta love Greek Yogurt! 😀
Kristin Carlson Shadley says
A little tip for photos outside when it’s cloudy is to use a photo processing program and ‘warm’ them up a little. You can do this in some free programs like iPhoto (if you’re on a Mac, don’t know much about in Windows…) and believe me, if you seriously want better photos, learning a little about post processing will make a huge difference.
Good luck! 🙂
Krista says

Tay says
Mmmm delicious! I actually like the outside ones best though 🙂
Kath says
Re Fuzziness: I’ve been doing this intentionally and trying to do a mix of the pretty blur and a real photo to show the actual food. I’ll try to do more of the latter!
Food Makes Fun Fuel,
A pomegranate chobani.
Lauren,
Everywhere you’d imagine!
Kristin,
I wish I had time to touch them all up – but I need to blog and go!

Katharina says
I should’ve gotten a Dean & Deluca mug when I was in NY.. NEXT TIME 😀
