w52.23.1: Narrative Photography

Lately I am leaning towards narrative photography 😉

I like my shots to be unstaged, more natural, and those seems to tell a story. Realized a better place to start it is at home – with kids there always seems to be plenty of moments to explore in narrative photography.

Shot this as my kids were busy with their reading/writing. Used 50mm Nikon @f/5.6 for this shot.

w52.16.1: Game Boy

Time flies when you’re busy..that’s seems to be the case these days. I don’t have visited the blogs that I’ve been following regularly and my Google Reader seems to be filling up quickly 😉

Had a chance to visit a friend yesterday and shot his son engrossed in his game boy during my visit. Used window lighting for this quick shot.

Photo 365: Day 153 – Layers

No it’s not Photoshop layers that we all photographers know…LOL

My daughter has this Melissa & Doug easel and it has a spindle where the paper rolls sits. I think it might have been quite some time now since she has last used the paper for drawing and the paper roll has started curling.

As I noticed the paper curl last week, I thought it could be shot for an interesting abstract photo post.

So this evening I had to get underneath the easel to take this shot. As it was relatively darker beneath the easel, I had to bump up the ISO to 800 – hence the grain….here’s where D70 fails 🙁

But I am quite satisfied with today’s photo post.

Photo 365: Day 152 – Soft focus

For today’s photo post(s) I used a soft focus filter to create a dream-like effect on these cherries. As it was too bright and I didn’t have a neutral density filter to bring down the light, used a polarizer filer – as I know it brings down the light by 2 f:stops. Had to use a white reflector board to lighten up the shadows.

There is one more photo post for day 152 –> here.

Don’t forget to add your photo post to Twitter Tuesday.

Photo 365: Day 152 – Soft focus

I got the idea for this post from a cover image on Cooks Illustrated magazine. Used a soft focus filter combined with polarizer filter to create this shot.
