Photo 365: Day 222 – TDS: Pattern

Todays daily shoot assignment: Find a repeating pattern and make a photo of it today.

Shot these townhouses chimney/roof pattern while visiting a friend in Chicago area yesterday.

Photo 365: Day 221 – TDS:Rule of thirds

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph that uses the rule of thirds composition in a very obvious way and post it.

Across my friend’s home is this wetland. Took this shot with TDS assignment in my mind- I tried keeping the tall grasses, trees, and the clouds in the 1/3s

Photo 365: Day 220 – TDS: Green

Todays daily shoot assignment: Today’s color is green. Make a photo of a green subject today and post it.

Well it’s not a green subject. But it’s green energy for sure 😉

As I was driving to Chicago this afternoon to pick up family who are returning back from their vacation tomorrow, I shot this wind farm close to Pontiac, IL.

I have to admit, I shot this from a moving car – but would never try that again. Since I’m travelling light, shot this in JPEG mode and later edited in online Picnik website to bring out the colors.

Photo 365: 219 – TDS: Triangle

Todays daily shoot assignment: Triangles keep the viewer’s eyes on a photo. Follow a triangle, and you see other elements. Make a photo with triangles.

Took few shots this evening with the theme “triangle” in my mind but I didn’t like none of those shots – it’s one of those days when I lacked any inspiration. I will have to blame it on the hot weather 😉

This is snapshot I took from my visit to the park couple of days ago. Nothing artistic in this shot, but posting this as it fits TDS “triangle” assignment.

Watch close and you’ll see more than three triangles.

Photo 365: Day 218 – Flowers

Had a chance to visit a friend’s home this morning and took pictures of his father celebrating his 75th birthday.

While I was there, I noticed that they had this brass bowl filled with water and floating flowers in the side table. Those two lotus flowers are artificial while the other flowers are real. I have to say, I am totally impressed with this floral arrangement.

I love the colors and welcoming feel on this arrangement. Real simple and quite effective.

Photo 365: Day 217 – TDS: Park (1)

Todays daily shoot assignment: Visit a park today–national, amusement, playground–and make a photo of something that catches your eye.

I am back online 😉

I had lost my internet connection since yesterday morning and finally got it resolved this noon. So I am catching up on my blog post. I have to admit, I kind of liked it without internet connection – didn’t have to check my emails, catchup on news and such. I was able to accomplish quite a bit of things with no internet connection.

May be once in a while I should pretend I have lost my internet connection to catchup on other things..LOL

Some pictures from my visit to park near home yesterday. There are 2 more pictures for day:217.

Bonus picture for day:217 from visit to the park.

Photo 365: Day 217 – TDS: Bug

Todays daily shoot assignment: Insects are everywhere. Photograph a bug in your environment (no spiders – they’re arachnids).

I had trouble finding a bug in my backyard this evening. So I’m posting this shot that I took about a month ago.

Photo 365: Day 216 – TDS: Fabric

Todays daily shoot assignment: Fabric: we wear it, sleep on it, decorate with it. Make a photo of an interesting cloth design or texture.

Interesting assignment…because we see fabric with design and different texture everywhere 😉

So when I got back from work this evening went through the closet on deciding the fabric, design, and texture. Decided to go with my daughter’s silk dress for this assignment as I liked the color and craftsmanship on her dress .

To make this shot more interesting made some folds in her dress and shot this under window lighting with my Nikkor 60mm macro lens.
