Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph that shows an interpretation of your favorite indulgence or guilty pleasure.
Indulgence: It has to be dark chocolate besides ice cream ๐
Got to love the bitterness of dark chocolate with high percentage of cocoa. I think I like it the best when the chocolate has about 75% of cocoa content.
Another busy Friday evening. I had to take my daughter for her Chess club meet this evening and shot this basketball pole just outside the club meet place while I was waiting for my daughter. It’s odd that there is a basketball pole in the parking lot ๐
Used Fuji P&S camera for this shot. Though I could use this P&S in A/S mode, it’s a bit limited – I could set the aperture from f/2.8 through f/8.0
Had this shot in aperture mode @f/8.0
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Symmetry can be calm and soothing. Make a photo today featuring symmetry, either in subject or composition.
Shot this while I was getting back from my work this evening on the Metro.
Surprisingly it wasn’t crowded. There were only few folks and they didn’t mind me shooting pictures – perhaps it was because of my Fuji P&S camera and people weren’t intimidated ๐
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Use a mirror as part of a composition in a photograph today. Show yourself in the image if you’d like!
Had a chance to take my little boy to Faust Park this evening while my wife took my daughter for her singing lesson this evening.
As we were driving around the park, I saw another photog taking pictures of ducks in the near by pond and shot this looking through the rear view mirror.
I really like the way it turned out.
Also there is a bonus shot for TDS: Mirror assignment –> here.
Bonus shot for TDS: Mirror assignment.
Shot this on our way to my daughter’s singing lesson this evening. As my wife was driving, I get to relax and play with my camera ๐
As I knew we will be driving over the Boone’s Crossing bridge, I had quite some time to get the exposure and timing right.
I like the symmetry and reflection in this shot.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something that is soft, or at least looks that way. Convince the viewer of the softness.
Something that’s soft…my original thought when I saw this assignment this AM was to use my soft focus filter to achieve the soft effect. But having used that couple of times before in this 365 project decided to go something with soft texture.
Soft texture…how about soft Tofu? Unfortunately we didn’t buy Tofu during our weekly shopping for this week. Then I thought about soft/creamy garlic/herb cheese that we bought couple of days ago…
So had these plated along with some crackers for this shot. Used 50mm prime @f/1.4 to get a creamy DOF.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Some carry a talisman, amulet, “lucky charm”, or just a comforting thing in our pocket. What do you carry?
What do I carry in my pocket?
No talisman, amulet, or “lucky charm” for me….Nothing interesting ๐
I had fun with this shot though. I really liked setting this up for TDS assignment shot. Used couple of white boards to fill in the shadows and used natural window lighting for this shot.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photo of two complementary objects arranged in a pleasing composition, one large and one small.
Three is better that two, right? How about three complementary objects ๐
We love cast iron pan and that’s the subject for TDS: Complementary Objects assignment.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Showcase the beauty of living foliage! Make a photo of a single leaf or an entire “greenscape” today.
Hmm..it’s definitely not a living foliage. I didn’t realize it has to be “living” foliage until this evening when I was getting ready to post. Well, that’s my shot for TDS: Foliage assignment ๐
Had this shot while waiting for my daughter to return from her chess club meet.
Saw this fallen leaf atop my car roof, and shot this by holding the leaf against the Sun’s rays (falling through the tree branches) with one hand while holding/shooting with the camera on the other hand.
