Photo 365: Day 277 -TDS:Wood

Today’s daily shoot assignment:ย The warmth of wood takes on many shapes and forms. Make a photograph of something made of wood today.

Had some time this evening to take my little boy to a park close home. Shot this supporting frame in one of shelter in the park while my boy was enjoying his slide/swing.

I kind of like it – for the fact that it has geometric shapes/angles and there is a symmetry formed by the frames.

Photo 365: Day 263 – TDS: Frame

No TDS assignment for me today. Clutter was the subject for TDS assignment and it isn’t my favorite. Who likes clutter any way ๐Ÿ˜‰
Had about 15 minutes this evening for my daily shoot and shot the light coming in through the windows in my daughter’s room – had this shot from my office room. As there wasn’t sufficient light, had to bump up the ISO to 1600.

Photo 365: Day 261 – TDS: Something Soft

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something that is soft, or at least looks that way. Convince the viewer of the softness.

Something that’s soft…my original thought when I saw this assignment this AM was to use my soft focus filter to achieve the soft effect. But having used that couple of times before in this 365 project decided to go something with soft texture.

Soft texture…how about soft Tofu? Unfortunately we didn’t buy Tofu during our weekly shopping for this week. Then I thought about soft/creamy garlic/herb cheese that we bought couple of days ago…

So had these plated along with some crackers for this shot. Used 50mm prime @f/1.4 to get a creamy DOF.

Photo 365: Day 260 – TDS: Pocket

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Some carry a talisman, amulet, “lucky charm”, or just a comforting thing in our pocket. What do you carry?

What do I carry in my pocket?

No talisman, amulet, or “lucky charm” for me….Nothing interesting ๐Ÿ˜‰

I had fun with this shot though. I really liked setting this up for TDS assignment shot. Used couple of white boards to fill in the shadows and used natural window lighting for this shot.

Photo 365: Day 259 – TDS: Complementary Objects

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photo of two complementary objects arranged in a pleasing composition, one large and one small.

Three is better that two, right? How about three complementary objects ๐Ÿ˜‰

We love cast iron pan and that’s the subject for TDS: Complementary Objects assignment.

Photo 365: Day 254 – TDS:Sidewalk

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of a path, sidewalk, trail, or road today and post it. Lead our eye through the scene.

I waited too long for today’s shot. By the time I got to do the shot of the sidewalk, there wasn’t mucht light. So had to bump up the ISO, then on PS raw – had to increase the exposure to +1.75 and ended up with a grainy shot ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lesson learnt – don’t wait until the 11th hour for your shot.

Photo 365: Day 251 – TDS: Horizontal lines

Todays daily shoot assignment: Find a strong series of horizontal lines or elements and make a photograph of it today.

Does power lines make horizontal lines? Perhaps not, they’re suspended such a way they sag during summer and contract during winter months ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anyway, power lines are my subject for TDS:Horizontal Lines assignment.

Shot this while waiting for my daughter to return from her chess club meet this evening. The place hosting the chess club is located close to the highway and this spot should present wonderful photo opps in the near future.

It was a rainy/overcast day – hence the sky looks flat. Used Nikon 50mm at f/1.4 for this shot.

Photo 365: Day 248 – TDS: 6

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph with either a 9 or 6 (components of today’s date) in it represented in some way and post it today.

How about the number of rows on Connect Four game? It’s 6 rows…that’s my interpretation of TDS:6 assignment.

To make this composition a bit more interesting, I opened up Four-in-a-row game on my Ubuntu desktop and had this as a backdrop for this shot.

Photo 365: Day 245 – TDS: Water & Color

Todays daily shoot assignment: Water sustains life. Color enhances life. Make a photo today combining color and water.

Photo combining color and water – how about coffee? It’s made with water and it’s black ๐Ÿ˜‰

Photo 365: Day 239 – TDS: Something cold

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something cold today. Ice cubes, frosty beverages, or the freezer aisle at the grocery store.

Another lazy Sunday – nothing accomplished (besides daughter’s school work) and not feeling guilty about it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just after lunch, my 2yr old went for hisย ice cream cone treat and I thought I will make few shots with TDS:Cold assignment in mind. Shot few pictures with Nikon 50mm @f/1.4 ย with focus set on the ice cream cone. As you might have experienced it’s hard taking picture of a 2yr old – they are full of energy and definitely f/1.4 helps a tad bit.

Out of 25+ shots I fired, I liked this one a lot.
