No that’s not a shoot from a grocery store 😉
Those are some of the spices from our pantry.
We had a spring like weather in St. Louis today with occasional showers. Another reason for me to stay indoors and use my macro lens 😉
I was out of ideas for today’s post and my wife suggested may be I should try with oil/water setup. So spent some time on setting/shooting this and it turned out pretty good. Here is what I did to set this up for the shoot.
One thing you will need is lot of patience and don’t forget to shoot a lot of pictures. In my case, I thought most weren’t sharp. Out of about 30+ pictures I took this evening I only liked a couple 😉
We had a nice weather this evening with a bit of breeze and a couple of drizzle – wished we had soaking rain though. It feels like summer already.
Anyway spent some time outdoors this evening with my little boy. He likes watching trucks/cars passing by and digging dirt unlike his big sister who likes reading books. So he was all excited this evening when I took him outside. So he had his bucket/trowel and was ready to get dirty.
So I confer Boys ‘R Boys.
Here is my 2yr old boy digging for the pot of gold. Yeah I hinted him today is tax day 😉
Read that as Crack-a-AppleJack 😉
It’s a fun post…Got home late (as Wednesday being my daughter Math class day that I had to chauffeur) and was in a rush to shoot something before the losing sunlight. So thought I should do something creative with the monkey wrench. Trying to find something that would fit within its jaws was the hardest part – it would have been nice if we had some cherry tomatoes around.
Only thing colorful that I could find was AppleJacks…so here is Crack-a-AppleJack 😉
Ah I hit one of those days when you feel you don’t have anything else to shoot 🙁
Got home from work and took bunch of pictures and didn’t like any. That’s when I got the feeling that I didn’t have anything else to shoot. You could relate this to the feeling when you surf aimlessly and at some point think you’ve reached the end of the internet 😉
Anyway, as I was going through these downloaded pictures I saw this modem cable by my bookcase and it struck me ‘why not do a macro capture on modem cable?’
So took my camera with Nikkor 60mm macro lens and started shooting again. I really like the way this macro capture turned out.
Also this capture made me think how thankful we should be for the internet. I heard on NPR yesterday that on a recent survey on Internet Vs TV, people choose Internet over TV. Surely internet seem to be have become an indispensable part of life style. So I Thank you Internet!
It’s a macro post for Monday 😉
Bought this cheap’o Aquafresh toothpaste from Dollar store with the idea of doing a macro capture. My original idea was to capture the paste with its tubing but that didn’t workout very well. So my wife suggested may be I should dab it in a black cardboard and try shooting it. Voila!
I like the way it turned out 😉
We were pleasantly surprised to find this fortune cookie saying strip on Friday – apparently my wife had saved this from about 5+ years ago 
You could see it’s old by the look of the strip.
This is the version that my wife liked. Look at the other version here which I liked – btw..she thought it was quite boring 😉
Perhaps I should do a poll to see which my blog viewers like… 😉

100 days since I started my Photo 365 project. Seems like yesterday (not really) since I posted my first photo post for my 365 project. I have to admit though, it’s not been easy going on this project. There are times I didn’t had any inspiration and even thought may be I should quit. Somehow I have kept it going on this so far…
So to mark 100 days on my project, decided to shoot these glow in the dark sticks that I picked from the Dollar store this morning. I had trouble setting this up though…so its not a great capture, but its a milestone.
Thanks for visiting/commenting and tomorrow is another day 😉
