Photo 365: Day 167 – Axed

That’s what I was doing this evening – cut up my credit cards. I wonder if it’s only me – I get this good feeling when my cut up my credit card. No more temptations to buy new camera gear nor annoying bills from the bank 😉 I wish it was for good though. It’s […]

Photo 365: Day 165 – Cool straw

That’s a cool looking straw on a water bottle that my daughter got on her friend’s birthday party – I think it was on her goody bag. This evening I was wanting to try out my 50mm prime and had this shot against the bright light coming in through the window shade. Used spot metering to get […]

Photo 365: Day 164 – Elephant Sculpture

Visited Hindu Temple @St. Louis this afternoon. Hindu temple is a place of worship for Hindus. It was a real sunny day and had to shoot this in manual mode with my 50mm prime. I purposely shot this with the “Temple Entrance” sign in my composition as I want this picture to tell where this was shot 😉

Photo 365: Day 163 – Firecracker flower

We had rain this afternoon and it was a good break from sticky weather from this AM. As I stepped outside this evening saw these bloom of Firecraker  on our porch and shot this with macro lens. Firecracker is a tropical plant and we had bought this from a local nursery last year. This survived […]

Photo 365: Day 162 – Bunch of Eggheads

Not much inspiration for today’s post. As I was going through my refrigerator I saw this egg box and though I should try something with the eggs. I am not an artist but you don’t need to be an artist for drawing smiley faces 😉 That’s how I ended up with these bunch of eggheads. There is more – […]

Photo365: Day 161 – Creepy

And the experimentation with the light continues… As I was getting ready to bed last night, I noticed the speck of light creeping in through the closed door. So I thought I should try it out for today’s photo post. Used 28mm manual Nikkor for this try out. Shot this at f/5.6 @13sec exposure. I […]

Photo 365: Day 160 – No mail today

Another fun photo post – yes; you can call it self-portrait 😉 As I went to check on my mailbox this evening, I had this idea pop in my mind. We always see things from one side, what if I could take a photo from the ‘other’ side. That’s how I ended up with this […]

Photo 365: Day 159 – It’s about time

That’s one of our Hydrangea that decided to bloom after 4 years 😯 We got these 3 hydrangeas about 4+ years ago from Lowes & Sears (with blooms) as a small plants. The first year after planting it didn’t bloom. I remember calling the local college extension center and they said me about moving these plants to […]

Photo 365: Day 158 – Split

Fun photo post for  day 158. That’s the picture of our living room and entry room separated by a wall. I might have gotten this idea for this post over the weekend or so. Upon trying to execute this, this evening I found it a bit harder than I had imagined. Now these are 2 different rooms […]
