Shot this back in October while visiting a park close-by home.

Photo 365: Day 301 – Jack’O Lantern

Finally we got our pumpkin carved today 😉

My daughter helped pick the template and then my wife and I spent some time this morning carving Jack O’ Lantern. So it was a team work…

There is a bonus shot for day:301

Photo 365: Day 300: Backyard Silhouette

Another day with lack of inspiration…

Did a quick shot of my backyard when the Sun was just about to set.

Photo 365: Day 220 – TDS: Green

Todays daily shoot assignment: Today’s color is green. Make a photo of a green subject today and post it.

Well it’s not a green subject. But it’s green energy for sure 😉

As I was driving to Chicago this afternoon to pick up family who are returning back from their vacation tomorrow, I shot this wind farm close to Pontiac, IL.

I have to admit, I shot this from a moving car – but would never try that again. Since I’m travelling light, shot this in JPEG mode and later edited in online Picnik website to bring out the colors.

Photo 365: Day 212 – TDS: Portrait

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a portrait of somebody today. It can be somebody you know or a stranger. Maybe even yourself.

Decided to bend the rules today for this post 😉

This wasn’t shot today. As family is still vacationing, decided to post  a portrait I did back in Spring. That’s my daughter working on her Math Bee.

Used window lighting for this shot and used Coffee Shop’ Chocolate B&W action in PP.

Photo 365: Day 194 – Daily Shoot Assignment: Corners

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Corners are everywhere. Make a photo of an interesting corner today, capturing its light and angles.

As I was in the quest for interesting corner, I found those ones on our fireplace mantel to be interesting.

I did multiple shots without flash and bounced flash. Later, after downloading found those without shadows (using bounced flash) to be boring and lacking any depth. I know shadows are something that photogs try avoiding in their shots.

But decided to go one with the harsh shadows, as they provide a nice depth that brings out the details on the woodwork on the mantel 😉

Show off your shots…Today is Twitter Tuesday

Photo 365: Day 187 – Daily Shoot: Blue

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Today’s theme is the color blue. Blue sky. Blue plate. Blue M&Ms. Make a photo of something blue and post it today.

For today’s daily shoot assignment, I want to shoot the blue sky but to make it a bit more interesting decided to add a blue subject – that’s how I ended up shooting my tennis racket against the blue sky.

My tennis racket haven’t seen daylight in years now…until this evening 😉

Tweet Tweet… It’s Twitter Tuesday.

Photo 365: Day 153 – Layers

No it’s not Photoshop layers that we all photographers know…LOL

My daughter has this Melissa & Doug easel and it has a spindle where the paper rolls sits. I think it might have been quite some time now since she has last used the paper for drawing and the paper roll has started curling.

As I noticed the paper curl last week, I thought it could be shot for an interesting abstract photo post.

So this evening I had to get underneath the easel to take this shot. As it was relatively darker beneath the easel, I had to bump up the ISO to 800 – hence the grain….here’s where D70 fails 🙁

But I am quite satisfied with today’s photo post.

Photo 365: Day 152 – Soft focus

For today’s photo post(s) I used a soft focus filter to create a dream-like effect on these cherries. As it was too bright and I didn’t have a neutral density filter to bring down the light, used a polarizer filer – as I know it brings down the light by 2 f:stops. Had to use a white reflector board to lighten up the shadows.

There is one more photo post for day 152 –> here.
