My wife made an incredible apple-cheddar souffle for dinner tonight. I was all set up to photograph it right out of the oven: set up the flash, took a few test shots of an empty baking dish to get the exposure right, and thought about the composition I wanted. Unfortunately, my flash failed to fire as the souffle came out of the oven, and in the five minutes I spent fiddling frantically trying to get it to work the souffle deflated. I eventually figured out it was a loose connection, but the moment was lost. So frustrating!

After dinner and a drink and some contemplation, I decided to go in a different direction, and broke out the macro lens instead to photograph the deflated remains of an incredibly delicious dinner.
