Photo 365: Day 53 – Seashells



During our grocery shopping this morning, we picked a radish bunch and today’s subject for my Photo project is radish.

Another bokeh…I told more bokeh posts are to come, right?
We got the colorful Minnie Mickey piggy bank during our trip to Disney Land in 2000 and during our last trip to India got a golden Mickey pendant. So here is my attempt to combine the two in a snap 😉
I had my wife hold the pendant for me while I was using D70/60mm micro Nikkor to picture these in manual mode.

Here is a picture of Abraham Lincoln on a penny coin to commemorate President’s day.
I totally had something else in mind for today’s post. But had to change my mind at the last moment as by the time I got home and got settled to take picture it was too late to capture anything just with natural lighting.
So I took this old penny from loose change and used little Brasso and elbow grease to make the penny shine a bit. Then had the penny sit on a book on the window sill and shot this in manual setting using Nikkor 60mm macro lens.

Here is a picture of a tulip beginning to bloom. I want to capture the picture of tulip in a different view/composition and with the tulip beginning to bloom, I thought I should try picturing it looking top down. It was snowing outside, and had the tulip vase close to the window and pictured this with the plenty of light reflecting from the snow outside the window.
It turned out really good.

Ah Tulips…who doesn’t like them. Bought these at Costco yesterday (I believe these were from Canada), and took pictures of tulips this noon using natural lighting. I really like the way these turned out 😉

Here is the picture of my daughter’s colorful bangles.
I didn’t like the way it turned out though 🙁
I thought the picture is quite boring and should have shot this in a different composition.

Dried roses – these were dried by my wife long time ago (may be about 8 years ago). I remember researching for her on drying them back then.
These were real flaky and had to be handled with extreme care for picturing them. I really liked the way the pictures turned out for today’s post.
