Photo 365: Day 53 – Seashells
Today’s post is another macro capture using my Nikkor 60mm lens and the subject is seashells. I keep going back to my Nikkor 60mm macro lens and I never thought I would be using my 60mm macro this much.
Photo 365: Day 52 – 8 seconds
Had a chance to experiment/play with light this afternoon. As I am pushing myself to make use of my Nikon 50mm prime lens (besides using it for portraits), this afternoon I tried my hands on taking picture of my alarm clock in natural lighting.
We got this electrical, backlight alarm clock that has seconds hand. For my light experiment, I exposed my camera for 8 seconds exposure and you can see the trails of seconds hand. As you could see just by counting the trails, this was indeed exposed for 8seconds.
Also, try my next capture of the same set-up with different composition and 6 seconds exposure.

Photo 365: Day 51 – Radish bunch
During our grocery shopping this morning, we picked a radish bunch and today’s subject for my Photo project is radish.
Photo 365: Day 50 – Mickey
Another bokeh…I told more bokeh posts are to come, right?
We got the colorful Minnie Mickey piggy bank during our trip to Disney Land in 2000 and during our last trip to India got a golden Mickey pendant. So here is my attempt to combine the two in a snap 😉
I had my wife hold the pendant for me while I was using D70/60mm micro Nikkor to picture these in manual mode.
Photo 365: Day 49 – Bokeh
Here is my attempt to capture “bokeh” of eggs. Used Nikon 50mm prime @f1.8 to get the above capture.
I may post more bokeh captures in the days to come 😉
Photo 365: Day 48 – YKK
Ever wondered what YKK in the zipper means? Almost all zippers have YKK imprinted on them.
Well the other day I read an interesting blog post (thanks to Google Reader’s recommended items) on YKK. If you guessed YKK is the name of the company that makes zippers, you guessed it right. You would be surprised YKK is based in Japan & not in China 😉 YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Co., and this company is famous for manufacturing zippers besides other products. Here is the wiki entry for YKK.
I had the picture taken this evening as I was waiting for my daughter to return back from her class. It was a nice day outside and she had left her coat in the car. As I was contemplating on what to picture tonight for my Photo 365 project, I saw her coat and liked the way the zipper was painted to go with her pink coat.
Took this with my travel Point & Shoot Fuji F30 using spot metering – as I was relaying on the sunlight coming through the car’s window. Not too bad for a Point & Shoot camera 😉
Photo 365: Day 47 – Tulip macro
Another tulip picture?
I know…I need to move on 😉
I just love the explosion of colors here.
Photo 365: Day 46 – Abe Lincoln
Here is a picture of Abraham Lincoln on a penny coin to commemorate President’s day.
I totally had something else in mind for today’s post. But had to change my mind at the last moment as by the time I got home and got settled to take picture it was too late to capture anything just with natural lighting.
So I took this old penny from loose change and used little Brasso and elbow grease to make the penny shine a bit. Then had the penny sit on a book on the window sill and shot this in manual setting using Nikkor 60mm macro lens.
Photo 365: Day 45 – Tulip again
Here is a picture of a tulip beginning to bloom. I want to capture the picture of tulip in a different view/composition and with the tulip beginning to bloom, I thought I should try picturing it looking top down. It was snowing outside, and had the tulip vase close to the window and pictured this with the plenty of light reflecting from the snow outside the window.
It turned out really good.
