Photo 365: Day 177 – Ice water & Soccer

I briefly watched world cup soccer this afternoon as US played Ghana. I got back from my yard work and heard the score was 1-1 and thought I should check it out. Too bad US didn’t win but it was a good match. It was a hot day and to cool off I sat down […]

Photo 365: Day 176 – Abstract

As I stepped outside to take photos for my 365 project, I had in my mind to do abstract theme for today’s post. Asiatic lilies are in full bloom in our yard and I noticed evening sunlight filtering through the petals. So found a spot to rest my tripod/camera, and shot this using Sigma 150mm macro […]

Photo 365: Day 175: Shrimp salad

It’s been quite some time now since I have last done food photography. So decided to try with food photography this evening. Picked a recipe for shrimp salad online and tried it with lot of summer veggies. It turned out pretty good 😉

Photo 365: Day 171 – Texture

I had originally thought of shooting flowers from our backyard but it was too hot and muggy outside and decided to go with the texture theme for today’s post. We have this old garden pot about 6+ year old that we had originally bought for growing Amaryllis bulbs – it has gone through harsh winter, […]

Photo 365: Day 170 – Reflection

Netflix/Roku – that’s how we relax these days. No live TV or cable for us – although kids like watching PBS on OTA channels 🙂 As I had few minutes to kill this afternoon I was going over other ROKU channels besides Netflix and noticed this reflection on our coffee table. So I had this […]

Photo 365: Day 169 – Time

Lately I have been spending too much time on my Photo 365 project and I thought with this post I should remind myself of how Time is very important. When I started this project, I’ll take about 15-30 minutes to come up with the idea, execute that idea, and be done. But that seems to have […]

Photo 365: Day 168 – Japanese Beetles

It’s summer and Japanese Beetles are here 🙁 One good thing about these nasty beetles – they only live for 2 weeks. So this evening I was on a mission to shoot Japanese Beetles. In particular, I want to make use of my BR-2A reverse ring adapter. It was quite sunny outside and decided to have […]
