Photo 365: Day 157: Creve Coeur Lake

I took this photo during my visit to the Creve Coeur Lake yesterday. As the Sun had just set and everyone were leaving the lake, I found this kid still fishing. It worked for my today’s photo post – today is an exception as I normally don’t like posting picture(s) from earlier days 😉

Photo 365: Day 156: Dew on cobweb

While cleaning up my yard this morning I noticed these dew on cobweb. Shooting this turned out to be a bit of a challenge as this was atop mowed grass and was almost close to the ground. So I used my gorillapod to balance my camera and shot this in shutter priority.

Photo 365: Day 155 – Dusk

I have been wanting to use my zoom lens for my 365 project and this evening decided to shoot with Sigma 17-70mm. We have a library close home and by 7:30 PM on Fridays no one is there as the library closes early then – the library happens to be in a place that is […]

Photo 365: Day 154 – Trio Cherries

For today’s post I simply want to shoot cherries. So had these trio cherries sit a white foam board board, used spot metering and took the metering of the cherry in the front. Then had it manually adjusted and shot this in RAW. I had to do a little ‘pop’ action in CS4 to bring […]

Photo 365: Day 153 – Layers

No it’s not Photoshop layers that we all photographers know…LOL My daughter has this Melissa & Doug easel and it has a spindle where the paper rolls sits. I think it might have been quite some time now since she has last used the paper for drawing and the paper roll has started curling. As I noticed […]

Photo 365: Day 152 – Soft focus

For today’s photo post(s) I used a soft focus filter to create a dream-like effect on these cherries. As it was too bright and I didn’t have a neutral density filter to bring down the light, used a polarizer filer – as I know it brings down the light by 2 f:stops. Had to use […]

Photo 365: Day 151 – Hardware: Printed circuit board

Day 151: 1/3 I was cleaning up my closet this noon and found bunch of computer hardware stuff that I don’t need anymore. As I was snapping pictures for selling them, I found some interesting patterns on these. That’s a snapshot of a printed circuit board on a hard-drive. I found the colors and the […]

Photo 365: Day 151 – Hardware/Hard-drive

Day 151: 2/3 That’s an old IDE hardrive that I had bought for an old desktop PC. This hard-drive never got into the bay 😉 I found this interesting pattern on the hardrive’s back – I am not a hardware design engineer but I am guessing it has something to do with dissipating the heat(?) […]
