Photo 365: Day 150 – POVs
Does that look better? – not as “flat” as the earlier one. Just by changing the angle, you can make things/subjects look interesting 😉

Photo 365: Day 149 – Green serpent?
No it’s not a green serpent 😉
It’s a harmless garlic scape in my back yard. I was planting some annuals and cleaning up my yard this morning and found these garlic scape(s). Will have to try these garlic scape in stir fry tomorrow 🙂
Photo 365: Day 148 – Mirror Image
It’s Friday and I had sometime to burn this evening. So spent my free time on this little experiment with mirror and $1 coin.
I had this one dollar coin and had this stand atop a hand mirror in such a way I could see the reflection of the coin. Now since the mirror was looking up the ceiling, it was boring plain white – so I had the camera (on a timer) set on a tripod and was holding a blue cardboard right above the mirror/coin setup. With this setup when the camera shutter clicked I was able to capture the mirror image of the coin with the blue background – it kind of gives the feel that the coin sits atop a blue mirror, doesn’t it?
Used spot metering and shot this @f/45.0 and 6sec exposure to bring in the details.

Macro shot of stamen.
Photo 365: Day 139 – Sewing Mechanism
We have this old sewing machine that’s about 7+ years old. We were cleaning up the closet and the sewing machine mechanism caught my eyes. The moment I saw it, I knew I want to do a macro shot of the needle plate, foot and transporter of our sewing machine.
Used natural window lighting to shoot this at f/16 for 1/2s exposure.
Photo 365: Day 137 – Got Tempeh?
Tempeh? – it’s fermented soybean.
Last week I had a chance to meet one of my former colleague on my train ride home back from work. He happens to be a vegan and we were talking about Tofu and ended up him mentioning tempeh. It happens to be high in protein, fiber, and vitamins. So we bought a couple of packs of 3-grain tempeh from Trader Joe’s during our grocery shopping on Saturday.
It has a nutty, chewy texture and we tried it with stir fried vegetables this evening. It was delicious and will definitely be part of our diet moving forward.
So this evening, I tried shooting this (I’m always challenged with food photography). I was able to capture the details but I think I failed in plating this – lots of white space. Will have to keep trying with food photography in the days to come 🙂
Photo 365: Day 136 – Carpet rose
Another gloomy day here in St. Louis.
It was drizzling on and off and when the sky had taken a break from raining, I went out to my backyard and took this macro capture of carpet rose.
Photo 365: Day 131 – Array of colors
Another experimentation with light…
I have this small portable LED mini fan which flashes a colorful pattern when the wings are in motion. For today post, I intentionally had my camera out of focus and took multiple shots of the colorful pattern. I call this array of colors.
There is a bonus picture for day 131 -> here
