Photo 365: Day 91 – Homework
Here is a picture of my daughter doing her homework this evening.
I have been wanting to start using my other lens(es) besides my Nikkor macro lens and I have to push myself this evening to use my 50 mm lens 😉
Photo 365: Day 90 – Kalanchoe
When I started this Photo 365 project, I had in mind to make use of all my photo gear (that I had purchased over the past 10 years) one time or other. Today I decided to use my diffusion filter that I had purchased on ebay back in 2001.
I want my snap to depict a dream like mood and with the Kalanchoe in full bloom, it worked out very well.
Used Nikon 50mm prime along with diffusion filter for this snap.

Bought this Kalanchoe plant last weekend to bring in some colors/life indoors 😉
Photo 365: Day 89 – Daniel Boone Bridge
Had to take our daughter to her music class this evening. On our way back home, my wife took this picture as we were riding the Daniel Boone Bridge in Chesterfield. As I had set my camera mounted with manual Nikkor f/2.8 lens set to f/2.8, the frame at the closest end turned out rather soft – albeit it turned out pretty good 😉
Photo 365: Day 88 – Simplicity: Daffodil
These were the first to bloom in our yard.
Got home this evening and saw couple of daffodils in bloom. I wasn’t really up to lying in the ground to take the pictures this evening. So had to cut this and take it indoor to picture this. Shooting indoors gives me much control in setting up the background and also I don’t have to deal with wind and such.
Although I have to admit, this would have been even prettier in its natural setting 😉
Photo 365: Day 87 – Sneakers (bonus picture)
Bonus picture….
We bought this NB toddler sneakers for our little boy couple of months ago and with the nice weather outside, we thought of trying it out this evening. To our surprise our little ones feet is too big to fit in this cute little sneakers already. There goes another pair of sneakers to charity.
I bet this should make someone happy

Photo 365: Day 86 – Beets germination
I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I saw the beets germination – these pots were sitting in the tray atop the refrigerator (I had purposely seated them there to keep them warm). Previously I had read that it takes about 7-14 days for them to germinate. In my case it took only 5 days. Only thing I could think of is because I had the seeds soaked in cold water for a day before sowing them.
I love the colors of the emerging plant. I bet the beets will taste good as well 😉
Photo 365: Day 85 – Soaker hose coupling
Bought 2×50′ soaker hose from Costco this evening to replace our 5 year old Sears bought Craftsman soaker hose. Over the period of past 5yrs it has worn out quite a bit and has been patched and re-patched umpteen times.
While deciding on what to shoot for today’s post, I saw this shinny coupling and took few pictures with my trusty Nikkor 60mm macro lens using window lighting. I am really pleased the way it turned out. As soaker hose was dark, it worked out as a backdrop for this shinny coupling.
Photo 365: Day 84 – Habanero chili
Bought these habanero chilies this evening to make homemade repellent to keep away rabbits from munching our flower/vegetable garden 😉
Yeah rabbits are cute – as long as they stay away from our garden…hopefully the spray I made of these hot chili peppers should keep them away.
