Had a chance to visit St. Louis Air Show this year with friends and family. Perfect weather on this Sunday for an air show and took my good old Nikon D70 to shoot, as D600 is yet to be serviced by Nikon LA center. Cropped sensor coupled with Nikon 70-200mm came in handy for this event shoot. As I knew beforehand that it will be a sunny day, took my cheap ‘o Tiffen ND filter and shot the entire event with the ND filter ON.
Took my son for a walk this evening and shot this tree close to where we live just after sunset.
Winter and cold weather will be here soon and should be challenging to find subject(s) as we will be bundled up in our house – I might end up doing portraits of kids or perhaps work on my food photography. It’s been a long time now since I last posted a foodie shot in my blog 😉
Shot these triple berries during my recent visit to the park close home.
Shot these leaves on a Burning Bush plant last evening when I took a much needed photowalk at a park close home. Looking at these make me think holidays are almost here 😉
Time flies when you have good company. That was the case this past weekend. I had my school friends visiting us from Chicago and we were pretty busy entertaining friends.
Took the friend’s kids to a park close home and as we were getting ready to leave, one of the kid’s mom in the park stopped by and asked if she could offer the kids her Halloween themed cupcakes. As the kids settled down to enjoy their treat, I shot this – initially I thought this shot is going to be a snapshot but it ended to be narrative shot when I saw this in my desktop.
I like the way the kids are looking at other’s cupcake (although all are the same) and my little one trying to say something. Ah kids 😉
Spotted this driftwood in a lake close home.
Lately I am leaning towards narrative photography 😉
I like my shots to be unstaged, more natural, and those seems to tell a story. Realized a better place to start it is at home – with kids there always seems to be plenty of moments to explore in narrative photography.
Shot this as my kids were busy with their reading/writing. Used 50mm Nikon @f/5.6 for this shot.
A quick shot to depict the change in season.
Another shot from a park close home. I have been there umpteen times and always surprised when I can find something new to capture.
Shot this bench overlooking lake Whetzel. This bench sits on an embankment and as I was walking around the lake, found this low lying area which gave an interesting view.
This shots much reminds me of the winter time in park when it’s almost empty…hence the title Emptiness.
Another shot from our visit to Oberweis ice-cream store last week. Kids definitely enjoyed their chess game while enjoying their frozen treats.
