w52.14.1: Spindles

Where did the time go? Last was a busy week and didn’t have much time to shoot. Actually I did shoot but thought none wasn’t blog worthy 😉

Shot these spindles on a recent visit to the park close home. I was debating on the title for this post as it would fit for simplicity, monochrome, white etc. But decided to go with spindles…

w52.13.1: Black-eyed Susan

Continuing with my summer blooms shots 😉

Shot this at a park close home. As I was experimenting with my POV, I noticed the lighting on this particular plant was interesting. There were tall grasses behind these bushes and with the evening sunlight half of this particular bush was in shade and the other half was well-lit.

Really liked the way the lighting turned out in this shot. I think it gives a feel that this bloom was lit by a flash.

w52.12.3: Coneflower

Shot this coneflower at a park close home while waiting for my daughter to return from her chess club meet this evening.

w52.12.2: Itsy bitsy spider

It’s been a while since I last posted a macro shot and as I was looking for a macro subject this evening, I spotted this itsy bitsy spider on our porch.

Used Sigma 150mm macro lens for this shot.

w52.12.1: Phlox

Phlox is in full bloom in our front yard.
Shot this phlox bloom late this afternoon on a hot muggy summer day.

w52.11.2: BBQ

We had a perfect weather for BBQ this noon – with the considerable summer rain yesterday, humidity has dropped considerably and we didn’t feel the heat much today.

Anyway, it’s been quite some time now since I last posted a foodie related shot. With the perfect summer day, I want to capture a shot that depicts the essence of summer food.

Did some prep work this morning for this foodie shot – from getting the plates setup in place, to wrapping the plates with aluminum foil and such. Despite all the prep work, I’m not really satisfied with the outcome. I need to practice more with my (available) lighting and overall setup…

w52.11.1:Just after rain…

Originally planned on posting something else for today’s post but that got changed with rain this afternoon.

Shot this hydrangea leaf studded with raindrops as the rain was taking a break 😉

What do you see?

w52.10.5: What do you see?

Another shot from my recent trip to the zoo – perhaps the last one in this series 😉

Shot this as my kids where watching giraffe  in the Red Rocks area of the zoo.

w52.10.4: Flying High

Shot this hot air balloon in mid-air as we were leaving Faust Park in Chesterfield last evening.

I bet there will be plenty of photo ops for folks flying the hot air balloon. Makes me wonder if they are photogs 🙂

w52.10.3: Window

Visited Faust Park in Chesterfield with my little boy this evening and we walked by the historic Thornhill home. Before he ran out of patience I took couple of shots and really like this shot of window and sidings. I was drawn by the colors and contrast besides the lines.
