Photographer's view of Biergarten

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

I am an amateur photographer that likes to eat. So I will be posting some of the restaurants that we visited. Me, DW, DD14, DD8. We had lunch at Biergarten. I love German food but we don't really have a German restaurant near our house so the rest of the family has not been exposed to it. One more thing is that I am not big in to taking a lot of pictures of buffets. It is just too hard to get shots of areas with crowds of people trying to eat. I did get a few shots of the food but before I ate here I was really interested in what the show was like. There were 5 in our party today and we were put at a table next to the stage with another couple. The adults all ordered beer which was very refreshing on a hot August day. The restaurant was very dark but authentic to what a real beer hall in German would look like. We all headed off to start the buffet.

Some of the Salads. The potato salad (not shown was very good)

Some of the side dishes: Schwaebische Kaese Spaetzle mit glacierten Zwiebeln (Cheese Spatzle with glazed Onions), Hausgemachte Spaetzle (Homemade Spaetzle),Braised Red Cabbage and Macaroni and Cheese.

I did not get any shots of the main courses but they were good.

On to desserts:

By the time we finished lunch the show started and was very entertaining.

Love your pics, especially from Sci-fi and Biergarten b/c we have ADRs for October at these places. I'm an amateur photographer as well, can you tell me what your EXIF was on these indoor restaurants that are dark? I just have a Nikon D40 and will have my tripod, but wasn't planning on taking it during the day, just for fireworks a couple of the nights. What glass were you using as well?? Thanks!!!

I did not use a tripod for any shots. Here are some sample EXIFs
Sci-fi
Sigma 30mm f/1.4
1/50 f/1.4 ISO 2000

1/50 f/1.4 ISO 900

Biergarten
Nikkor 18-105 f/3.5-5.6
1/60 f/3.8 24mm ISO 3200

1/60 f/3.5 18mm ISO 800

1/60 f/4.2 ISO 640 32mm

1/60 f/5.6 ISO 720 105mm

You might be able to pull of some of the shots with a D40 if you have a fast lens. Good luck and have a great time. Will watch for your efforts when you return.
