Did you really find out... or did you only find out what you looked like to the tater tots "before" you were making them? You don't pre-heat do you? ;)

Nice picture, it would be nice to see some food between the camera and the oven window though even if its out of focus food. But I wouldn't put my camera in an oven and definitely not an oven with food at the same time, good photo ;)

Have no fear, the camera is safe. The heating elements (and all associated reflections) were photoshopped into looking 'hot'.

I would have added food, but I ate all my tatertots the first go round.

Love the concept. It feels snapshotish to me though. Could you shoot it with a CPL to knock down the reflections? I know that would be a lot of trial and error.

Or, maybe its the fact that the shot has such a tungsten color to it.

While I agree it is a bit warm, I was actually hoping for that color. I mean the point was that the oven was ON and the tungsten bulb is on (to help see the food).

I think I'll retry it with a remote flash unit in the oven with the camera and I'll bounce the light off the back of the oven.

Thanks for the CC all.

Or......

Take a cpl, which will knock down some of the reflection on the glass, then put some more light on your face. If your (face, room) color temp is balanced (it appears to be in the photo) then I think i like the tungsten feel better. Leave the oven alone at that point, and let the orange come out.

Yeah, and clean the oven. :)

Lol about eating the tatertots first...:p

10 OUT OF 10 for creativity, very ammusing shot.
However i am very disappointed that you placed the the need to feed above inventive photographic experimentation by eating all the Tatertots :D:D;)

Whatever the hell they are:(
