These are some tostadas I made with ground beef

First I smother sour cream on the tostadas

Here they are with ground beef and cotija cheese

Then I top them with some cabbage mix

For the cabbage I basically get a bowl and pour some white vinegar, chop some onion and jalapeño or serrano and squeeze some lemon juice and let it sit a bit to flavor the vinegar.

Then I shred some cabbage and toss in some tomato, salt pepper and oregano and mix it all around and put it on the tostadas.
Then if we have some avocados we toss some on top and pour valentina or tapatio

Made a focus stack of some stick I found while on a walk, I guess my lens was a bit dirty so the dirty spot got repeated a few times since it was hand held

Got inspired by yesterdays darktable workflow to finally export a photo. This is from a 2024 airshow in San Francisco. Im still figuring out Darktable and all the tools it provides

I used my Sony A7R III with a Nikon lens adapter and a Nikon 400/3.5 lens.
