On a snow day…

Another snow day here is St. Louis area.

I had to go visit a friend on this snow day and as I was leaving his house, noticed the snow fall through his glass door and did notice the framing and wreath on his door as seen from his  entryway.

I knew I will have to do a b/w PP when I shot this.

I hope it’s warm where you are. I think I am getting tired of this gray day and wintry weather.

Simplicity

How are you keeping up on your new year’s resolution?

I think I am going to jot mine down in a paper and perhaps stick it to my camera – out of sight, out of mind, right?

Simplicity – that’s what I had in mind when I did this shot.

Blah…coupon booklet

Hey it’s Friday!

Have a great weekend folks…

Snow Day

Another snow day here in St. Louis area.

We had over 8″ of snow in our neighborhood and surprisingly it was sunny late in the afternoon with a blue sky.

I had few minutes to enjoy the snow with my son this evening and had the snow on pine tree shot with the blue sky as the backdrop.

Fast mouse clicker

That’s my son mastering his mouse clicks this evening 😉

Just eat it

Fun post 😉

Veggies good for you…Just eat it !! – may be not the red hot raw chili 😉

My original thought was to shoot frozen french cut  green beans but later decided to add dried red chili to add contrast to this composition.

LCD view

Shot from a community event couple of days ago that I get to shoot pictures. This time I tried using my 50mm f/1.4 prime for shooting this event – so it was bit of a challenge for close-ups.

As the event was starting up, one of friend delivered the inaugural speech and I noticed the gentleman standing in front of me adjust the lcd viewer on his video camera.

I went for this composition with the focus set on lcd viewer and making sure not to cut off my friend by the podium.

All dressed up…

That’ s my kidos last evening..with my daughter all dressed up for her dance performance for a local community event.

I like the look on my son’s face..makes me wonder, if he thinks – “here we go again…” 😉

A Very Berry Day

With blackberries and wild blueberries in our kitchen went for this very berry shot.

To bring in a bit more variety to this shot added a cup of strawberry kefir to this composition. Other things I was particular about were the circular shapes and odd numbers 😉

Bakery

It was quite an interesting evening. My original plan was to go to a park near home for a quick shot, but found out the park being closed this evening.

So went to a bakery nearby for a coffee. Here is where things got interesting.

I found a gentleman in the store with a Nikon D3000 as I was enjoying my coffee. As I came out and started taking pictures of the bakery, I saw him come out and wanting to know what I was doing there. I ended up talking to him briefly and we were talking about camera models. Then I told him about the sensor dust issue on my D70. Turns out there is reputed store in town that does a good job with sensor cleaning.

Will have to try taking my camera to this store sometime next week. That being said, I am going to hang on to my D70. Had this happened prior to recession, I would have had a totally different opinion or take on this 😉

Regarding this shot, I like the way this turned out. My thought was to capture the mood in the bakery as seen through the windows and I think I did OK.
