Frozen lake Whetzel
Shot frozen lake Whetzel during my visit to the park last evening.
There is a bonus shot here – another shot of lake Whetzel from last fall season.

Waiting…
Shot this at a park near home as I was waiting for my daughter to get back from her chess club meet. It was about 5pm and the Sun was just about to set.
I really like the shadow of the tree upon the melting snow/ice, warmth and glow of the evening sunlight in this sunset shot.
Chicken drumstick curry
Another foodie shot…
There is something about food that I like to capture…may be it’s such a docile subject which doesn’t cringe or frown 😉
I was thinking about it on this line last week. My wife is a good cook and there is always something cooking, so how about I shoot her food for my blog. It makes me happy that I got a shot for the day and should make her happy that her food made it to the blog (besides feeding us).
It’s a win win situation, right?
Anyway, shot this using window lighting and used a foam board with aluminum foil stuck on it to direct the light on hard spots.
One of these days I need to pony up enough cash to buy continuous lighting, so that I am not totally relying on free window lighting. Nothing wrong with natural window lighting (that I always like), it’s just that I don’t have to make my shoot before Mr. Sun goes down.
Home Remedy
I am feeling under the weather today and had to drink my concoction made of apple cider vinegar and honey.
May be it’s just about to time to get into exercise routine and ward off sickness 😉
Icicles & Bokeh
Shot these icicles on a tree in our front yard last night under street lighting. I had to bump up the ISO to 800 to achieve the bokeh.
It was real chilly last night (in sub zero) and I bet my neighbors were to think I am one crazy guy if they had spotted me in my front yard on a cold night 😉
Half a dozen cookies to break my resolution…
Yup homemade cookies and milk…that’s the kind of day it has been 😉
Fast mouse clicker
That’s my son mastering his mouse clicks this evening 😉
LCD view
Shot from a community event couple of days ago that I get to shoot pictures. This time I tried using my 50mm f/1.4 prime for shooting this event – so it was bit of a challenge for close-ups.
As the event was starting up, one of friend delivered the inaugural speech and I noticed the gentleman standing in front of me adjust the lcd viewer on his video camera.
I went for this composition with the focus set on lcd viewer and making sure not to cut off my friend by the podium.
All dressed up…
That’ s my kidos last evening..with my daughter all dressed up for her dance performance for a local community event.
I like the look on my son’s face..makes me wonder, if he thinks – “here we go again…” 😉
Snow Day
It’s a snow day here in St. Louis area. Although there wasn’t much overnight snow accumulation, driving to work early in the morning was a bit tricky and kids got to stay home.
Got home this evening and shot this snow on the pine tree. Not the exact kind of shot I was going for, but I like the way this turned out 😉
