Photo 365: Day 12 – Daughter’s school work

/1 Comment/in /by

Our daughter started her school this year and she’s quite a writer 🙂
I was going through her school folder and thought this was interesting. I like how she has drawn her bike and characters in her little writeup.

It was a bit challenging to take the picture of  her drawing though. My pictures were under exposed due to white back ground – so had to increase the exposure by 1 full stop in post processing. Other challenge was taking the picture itself. I had the camera mounted on my Manfrotto tripod and had it set up such a way that the center column was parallel to the floor – so the camera/lens were pointing down at the picture on the floor. I had used my Sigma zoom lens and as the lens was pointing down, the lens barrel started winding down. So I had to use one hand to stop the lens barrel at the desired zoom level and other hand on the tripod to prevent it from tripping over. It was quite a challenge.

Had a chance to visit a friend’s home this afternoon to take pictures of king Bima’s props. His son is taking part in a stage play and this friend of mine had spent countless hours on making these props. They did a wonderful job and I was really delighted to take these pictures.

Had to take my daughter to her Math class tonight. I travel with my trusty point and shoot Fuji F30 these days. Used my F30 to take this picture of snow covered fire hydrant.

Photo 365: Day 7 – Red snow berries in snow

/in /by

Usually I shoot in aperture/shutter priority mode, but  had to take this is manual mode as the camera exposure was confused by the snow. I thought this came out quite good – I like the contrast between red berries, green leaves, and white snow.
