Photo 365: Day 238 -TDS:Repetition

/9 Comments/in /by

Todays daily shoot assignment: Use repetition to create an interesting photograph today. Grids, patterns, or a series of lines will all do the trick.

We are not a big fan of store bought yogurt. We prefer homemade yogurt over store bought yogurt. But my wife had volunteered to prepare food made of yogurt for a picnic this afternoon and I did some grocery shopping this morning and these yogurt tubs were among them.

These were perfect for TDS:repetition assignment.

There is one more picture post for TDS:Repetition assignment.

Photo 365: Day 236 – TDS: Soft light

/10 Comments/in /by

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph with soft light today. Try to almost totally eliminate shadows on your subject.

I had some vacation time to burn and took couple of days-off from work – hence the early post for my 365 project.

It’s been quite some time now since I last posted a food themed photo shot. Further I cooked yellow curry tofu with home grown hot peppers for lunch. Hence decided to combine TDS: soft light assignment with food theme  for todays shoot.

To bring a “soft” effect, used soft-focus filter – I think I bought this filter about 8+ years ago on ebay and have used it few times now in my 365 project. Had this shot with 50mm @f/1.8 using natural window lighting.

Photo 365: Day 234 – TDS: Low Key

/12 Comments/in /by

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a low key photo today with lots of dark areas. You might need to use exposure compensation to make it work.

Didn’t get to shoot for todays photo post until about 9:00 PM this evening. School season has started here and we have gotten busy with my daughter’s outside school activities.

So when I got settled in for shooting, I started racking my brain on what to shoot for TDS: Low Key assignment 😉

I was looking for a subject with lot of black areas and as I was already in the kitchen, I happen to notice the dishwasher which had the door opened. Bingo – found my subject. It’s the dishes in the dishwasher with the lower rack pulled in to make it a low key spot.

Had this shot with Nikon 50mm prime @f/8 for 2sec exposure.

Not much inspiration for TDS assignment this evening 🙁

I had few try outs this evening with TDS: glass theme – but none of ’em turned out to my likeliness. So asked suggestion from my wife and she thought may be I should try out with papaya fruit that we had got from international grocery store yesterday.

So todays subject for my 365 project is Papaya 😉

Shot this using natural window lighting. Used 50mm Nikon prime @f5.6 for this shot.

There is one my photo post for day 232 – Papaya seeds: macro.

Photo 365: Day 231 – TDS: High POV

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph from a high point of view. Get on top of a building, use a ladder, or just look down at a small object.

Portrait with high POV is my response for TDS: High POV assignment.

Another shot of my little one. Used window lighting for this shot. Since it was a bit late this evening when I shot this, had to bump up the ISO to 800 and use shallow DOF. Shot this using 50mm prime in RAW mode.

Used Coffeeshop’s creamy chocolate PS action for PP.

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph with a shallow depth of field today. Get in close if you need to force it with the lens you have.

I decided to use my 50mm prime @f/1.4 for todays assignment.

That’s my little boy watching cars passing by as we sat in our front porch this evening. It was quite hard to have him sit in one spot as he was excited by something or the other 😉

I was going through some pictures from last week and I missed posting this shot. I shot this last week during my visit to Chicago.

I like the “angles” and lovely blue sky with dense clouds.

Photo 365: Day 228 – Bokeh

Not much inspiration for today. Took few pictures in the backyard this evening and didn’t like the way they turned out.

So this is a shot I took yesterday while returning back from the park. As we were waiting for the signal to turn green, shot this bokeh. Those red spots on the top are the red signal and those on the bottom are from the headlights of the oncoming cars.

Photo 365: Day 227 – TDS: Sign

/7 Comments/in /by

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph that features a sign of some sort today. Maybe a stop sign. Maybe an information sign. Or an advert.

Had a chance to take my son to Faust park this evening (which is next to the Butterfly house). Before taking my little one to the play area took this shot for TDS assignment.

Today is Twitter Tuesday.
