Just eat it
Fun post 😉
Veggies good for you…Just eat it !! – may be not the red hot raw chili 😉
My original thought was to shoot frozen french cut green beans but later decided to add dried red chili to add contrast to this composition.
LCD view
Shot from a community event couple of days ago that I get to shoot pictures. This time I tried using my 50mm f/1.4 prime for shooting this event – so it was bit of a challenge for close-ups.
As the event was starting up, one of friend delivered the inaugural speech and I noticed the gentleman standing in front of me adjust the lcd viewer on his video camera.
I went for this composition with the focus set on lcd viewer and making sure not to cut off my friend by the podium.
All dressed up…
That’ s my kidos last evening..with my daughter all dressed up for her dance performance for a local community event.
I like the look on my son’s face..makes me wonder, if he thinks – “here we go again…” 😉
A Very Berry Day
With blackberries and wild blueberries in our kitchen went for this very berry shot.
To bring in a bit more variety to this shot added a cup of strawberry kefir to this composition. Other things I was particular about were the circular shapes and odd numbers 😉
Bakery
It was quite an interesting evening. My original plan was to go to a park near home for a quick shot, but found out the park being closed this evening.
So went to a bakery nearby for a coffee. Here is where things got interesting.
I found a gentleman in the store with a Nikon D3000 as I was enjoying my coffee. As I came out and started taking pictures of the bakery, I saw him come out and wanting to know what I was doing there. I ended up talking to him briefly and we were talking about camera models. Then I told him about the sensor dust issue on my D70. Turns out there is reputed store in town that does a good job with sensor cleaning.
Will have to try taking my camera to this store sometime next week. That being said, I am going to hang on to my D70. Had this happened prior to recession, I would have had a totally different opinion or take on this 😉
Regarding this shot, I like the way this turned out. My thought was to capture the mood in the bakery as seen through the windows and I think I did OK.
Snack time
It’s been quite some time since I did a foodie photo post. With that in mind shot these crackers, pears, and fruit loops during snack time this evening.
Not that I feed on fruit loops, had these included in this composition to compliment the horizontally arranged crackers.
Sensor Dust
Not a pretty picture for today’s photo post.
Finally decided to checkout how bad the dust have accumulated on my trusty 6+ year Nikon D70 sensor. I’ve already blogged about dust on my sensor in one of my earlier post.
But I was really surprised to see how bad the sensor is marred.
Already tried blowing off dust using a rocket-air blower with limited or no success. Next is to try sensorswipe.
Perhaps it’s time to replace my D70 😉
Wish me luck!
Snow Day
It’s a snow day here in St. Louis area. Although there wasn’t much overnight snow accumulation, driving to work early in the morning was a bit tricky and kids got to stay home.
Got home this evening and shot this snow on the pine tree. Not the exact kind of shot I was going for, but I like the way this turned out 😉
Chain Link
Shot this back in October while visiting a park close-by home.
Photo walk: Awnings
Another shot from my last week trip to Chicago..
I was really drawn by these awnings (which looks almost endless) and reflection on the glasses outside Congress Plaza Hotel on Michigan Ave.
