Had a chance to visit Faust Park in Chesterfield, MO with my son last evening. He was OK with me spending few minutes shooting the historic homes before taking him to the play area.
Will definitely go back to the park for a photo walk 😉
In case you haven’t noticed the tags, I switched to Lightroom 3 – Thanks Nikhil for tips/tricks.
My wife was a willing model for this portrait.
Shot this as she was getting ready for a friend’s baby shower party. She was about to be done with her makeup touches and took this shot with her reflection in the vanity mirror.
It’s an uneventful Sunday or you could call it a lazy Sunday…it has something to do with this cold weather that makes us relax or be unproductive 😉
While grocery shopping this morning, picked up a box of Crayola for the kids and my daughter came up with this art work. As I was still debating on what to post for this week’s blog post, I got my attention set on her art work. She was more than happy to get her work photographed.
In case if you’re wondering what’s by the flowers and the tree…she claims it’s a water fountain 😉
On a different note, I got my D70 sensor cleaned. I wasn’t really willing to get this cleaned by a professional for $100.00, so went on a DIY route (based on Nikhil’s suggestion). After blowing the sensor using my rocket blower and wet cleaning, sensor seems quite alright. Thanks Nikhil!
My wife was a willing model for this shot. Here she is…reading a book we borrowed from the library last evening.
I heard it’s a good book on failing American food system. Definitely sounds like a whip on corporate food industry.
But have to admit – at times, Ignorance is a bliss…
There is one another shot for this week.
That’s my son enjoying his Sunday morning home baked breakfast muffin.
No it’s not a paparazzi shot 😉
My daughter was a “willing” model for today’s shot – it always works when the family cooperates, doesn’t it?
A Change of Plans: After 450+ days of photo blogging, I am planning on going easy on this marathon daily photo posts. Although I very much enjoy blogging, I think time has come for me to concentrate on other things – be it self-improvement or time to spend more time with the family and/or getting fit.
I am thinking on going on a lighter version of this photo project, like a weekly post or something. Will decide soon – perhaps in a couple of days.
So that’s the message via this photo post.
I will still be around. You can find me on Facebook – Keep blogging!
With plenty of sunlight in our dining area decided to do this fun shot..call it sunny day catwalk.
There was sunlight creeping through the shades and got this little super guy placed in such a way to get strong shadows and give the feel that he is doing a catwalk 😉
I was quite surprised to see snow when I woke up early this AM..and we thought spring was in the air.
Anyway weather seems to be warming up rest of the week and will have to see if I get some time to get out of home and take some shots.
Shot this roman shade this evening as my son was watching snow and counting cars 😉
I was drawn by the lines and curves..still don’t know how I missed this earlier.
It’s been a while since I last posted a foodie shot…
It’s not that we aren’t cooking anymore, it just takes quite a bit of time for food shots – from the time it takes to set the table for the food to get everything right. Further I still rely on natural window lighting for my food shots and it has to be done just before the Sun sets. That being said, only weekend seems to be a good time for my food photography.
Had this tofu/veggie stir fry shot using window lighting and used a couple of home made aluminum foil wrapped reflectors to brighten up shaded spots. Used 50mm @f/5.6 prime lens for this foodie shot.
That’s my son enjoying his favorite show on PBS. I didn’t use flash for this shot (as I didn’t want to lose the moment) so had to bump up the ISO and ended up with a grainy portrait. But I’m overall satisfied with the outcome.
