Photo 365: Day 344 – Scarecrow?
Scarecrow? Not really…
That’s my son enjoying snow this morning. I used intentional blur technique to achieve this effect.

To be honest this was shot last night…
Had this shot @f/11 for 30sec exposure.
And my low light experiment continues…
Surprisingly we had a nice weather today and we took it as an opportunity to put some Christmas lighting this evening. So thought I should try few low light shots late this evening.
With my 50mm f/1.4 lens tried some bokeh shots and I thought it came out real nice.
With sweet potatoes hitting 0.10/lb decided to try the Casual Kitchen’s – Groundnut Stew.
This soup turned out really yummy after some minor tweaks to the recipe 😉
For this shot, I decided to go with the top/down POV. Added sweet potato, and cabbage to this composition as these are the key ingredients in this frugal soup.
Another portrait for my Photo 365 project.
My 3yr old was in a good mood this evening and he didn’t mind me taking his portraits – may be because he was checking out his new laptop toy…
Another rainy day here in St. Louis. By the time I got home this evening after sitting in rain/traffic, there wasn’t any natural light for my daily shoot.
So thought I will shoot something to depict the weather here – that’s how I ended up with this rainy day symmetry.
As I had left my umbrella in the garage to dry out, I noticed the interesting color/pattern formed by the garage light falling through the umbrella. Had this shot with 50mm @f/1.4 for 1/25th sec exposure.
Realized I haven’t done a portrait post in a while.
Finding a subject for my shoot was a bit tough this morning. I couldn’t have my 3yr old boy to stay in one place and my daughter wouldn’t pose – she got my gene that takes comfort in staying behind the camera 🙂
So I had to convince her that I will use the technique of selective focusing to put her out of focus…No I didn’t say that. I think that’s a bit too much for a 7yr old. I just told her that she won’t be in the picture…call me a liar!
Anyway, I like the way this turned out. Now I need to go convince her before she see’s this post 😉
Another food related shot for my 365 project…
Whenever there is a feast there are leftovers and we ended up with Leftovers Panini for brunch. We had roasted vegetables (the good stuff) from yesterday and a quick warming, then on the stove top grill in-between wheat bread with cheese did the trick.
Thought I will throw in the grill and cast iron press in the background for this food shot.
My daughter was there to help me this morning by holding a white plate to fill in the shadows…by the end of the shoot, she said “I don’t like being a photo helper but rather be a gal behind the camera”.
I guess another young photog in the offing 😉
Turkey pepperoni (pizza) on French Bread…that’s for dinner tonight.
And…it turned out really good with just a little effort 😉
That’s my wife’s niece giving a quick smile for this shot. They are visiting us for this Thanksgiving.
