Had a chance to spend some time with the kids @Panera Bread’s – Bakers in Training (B.I.T.) kids program. As Panera puts it – it’s an introductory culinary experience for kids.
Surely kids had a good time touring the restaurant, scoring their French baguette, and enjoying a monster cookie from their bakery.
Shot this as my friends kids were taking turns in scoring their baguettes.
Where did the time go? Last was a busy week and didn’t have much time to shoot. Actually I did shoot but thought none wasn’t blog worthy 😉
Shot these spindles on a recent visit to the park close home. I was debating on the title for this post as it would fit for simplicity, monochrome, white etc. But decided to go with spindles…
Continuing with my summer blooms shots 😉
Shot this at a park close home. As I was experimenting with my POV, I noticed the lighting on this particular plant was interesting. There were tall grasses behind these bushes and with the evening sunlight half of this particular bush was in shade and the other half was well-lit.
Really liked the way the lighting turned out in this shot. I think it gives a feel that this bloom was lit by a flash.
Shot this coneflower at a park close home while waiting for my daughter to return from her chess club meet this evening.
It’s been a while since I last posted a macro shot and as I was looking for a macro subject this evening, I spotted this itsy bitsy spider on our porch.
Used Sigma 150mm macro lens for this shot.
Phlox is in full bloom in our front yard.
Shot this phlox bloom late this afternoon on a hot muggy summer day.
Shot this at a game booth during my visit to the Heritage & Freedom Fest on July 4th.
I was drawn by the plush toys all lined up, ready to be won/picked, and go to a new home – call this the aftereffect of watching Toy Story movie(s) 😉
Had a chance to visit O’Fallon’s Heritage & Freedom Fest last evening with the family.
I didn’t really lug my Nikon D70 to the fest rather went light with my Fuji F30 P&S camera. As the family had settled down to watch the firework, I had to quickly rush to the carnival area for some late evening shots. I had to bump up the ISO for this shot as I didn’t travel with my tripod…may be next year, I should go well equipped.
We had a perfect weather for BBQ this noon – with the considerable summer rain yesterday, humidity has dropped considerably and we didn’t feel the heat much today.
Anyway, it’s been quite some time now since I last posted a foodie related shot. With the perfect summer day, I want to capture a shot that depicts the essence of summer food.
Did some prep work this morning for this foodie shot – from getting the plates setup in place, to wrapping the plates with aluminum foil and such. Despite all the prep work, I’m not really satisfied with the outcome. I need to practice more with my (available) lighting and overall setup…
Originally planned on posting something else for today’s post but that got changed with rain this afternoon.
Shot this hydrangea leaf studded with raindrops as the rain was taking a break 😉
