Photo 365: Day 92 – Where is my sister?

That’s my little boy.

He was a bit upset this afternoon after his sister went out on a play date. He goes “Not fair”…

Photo 365: Day 91 – Homework

Here is a picture of my daughter doing her homework this evening.

I have been wanting to start using my other lens(es) besides my Nikkor macro lens and I have to push myself this evening to use my 50 mm lens 😉

Photo 365: Day 90 – Kalanchoe

When I started this Photo 365 project, I had in mind to make use of all my photo gear (that I had purchased over the past 10 years) one time or other. Today I decided to use my diffusion filter that I had purchased on ebay back in 2001.

I want my snap to depict a dream like mood and with the Kalanchoe in full bloom, it worked out very well.

Used Nikon 50mm prime along with diffusion filter for this snap.

Photo 365: Day 76 – Lamp

Light is good from whatever lamp it shines – Author Unknown

I got the idea for today’s post from the the picture of CFL light bulb that I picked from Costco yesterday 😉


Photo 365: Day 74 – Symmetry

Here is my another last minute try out…Usually I like taking pictures when I get back from work when there is sufficient light. It was such a busy day (blame it on the time change), I had to scramble for ideas until the last moment 😉

We have this colorful umbrella and my 2 year old was playing with this over the past weekend. I kind of know that it could be a subject for someday. As I was racking my brain on how to make this as a subject for today’s post, I saw the symmetry (of triangles) when I opened up the umbrella. So had to set my camera with 50mm prime on the tripod and shot this with 5sec exposure and f/11 aperture. I really liked the way it turned out.

I have to say, life is made of math & science 😉

Photo 365: Day 73 -Veggies, good for ya

Sunday is a busy day for us. It’s the day we cook, and bake for the week ahead.

We cooked hearty veggies/bean soup for the week ahead and took few pictures while prepping for the soup. Its quite an easy recipe to follow – dice all the veggies, throw them in a cast iron pot with seasoning, & chicken stock and let it simmer. It’s good for ya 😉

Photo 365: Day 70 – Is it Friday yet?

I am a long time listener of NPR radio and I regularly listen to Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation on weekdays and Science Friday on Fridays. About a month or so, I got an email about Science Friday being hosted in St. Louis Science Center by Ira Flatow. I was delighted and immediately signed up. Really lucky enough to get a free ticket to watch the live show tomorrow…so “Is it Friday yet?”

Photo 365:Day 69 – Two Froggies

Ah it’s another one of those days….

Didn’t get to decide on the subject for today’s post until the last moment and by the time I decided to take a picture of these accent froggies, Sun has gone down already…so has to settle on capturing these with the aid of flash lighting.

Took couple of picture of froggies with their cute face looking at the camera and felt they were quite boring to my taste. So have to seat them such that they were looking away from the camera…I kind of like it. Seems like these froggies are wondering – ‘where did the Sun go?’ 😉

Photo 365: Day 67 – Sharpened pencils for my sharp little girl

As I was thinking about a subject for my today’s photo post this evening, I saw these sharpened pencils (my wife does a good job of keeping these organized) and my daughter doing her home work. I want to capture the mood of my daughter working on her home work along with these sharpened pencils. What came to my mind immediately was a ‘bokeh’ capture. Used 50mm prime this evening for this capture.

Its my daughter giving a quizzical look at the far end. She sure is my sharp little girl 😉

Photo 365: Day 66 – Iris in full bloom

Here is a capture of Iris in full bloom.

I had something else in mind for today’s post with the Iris before landing on this bloomed Iris. Originally I want to capture a macro with the Iris petals but found the petals were already starting to curl – sign of aging I guess 😉 So captured this full bloom with Nikon 50mm prime.

My wife was assisting with holding up the backdrop – so its a team effort for today’s post 😉
