Photo 365: Day 151 – Hardware/Memory
Day 151: 3/3
That’s an old memory module from my desktop computer. I found this had an interesting pattern on the printed circuit board. Took a quick snapshot using my micro 60mm Nikkor lens.

Photo 365: Day 150 – POVs
Today I decided to shoot a moonbeam flower about to bloom with 2 different point of view(s) aka POV.
Here is one that looks almost flat – looking from the top call this as aerial view. Not much interesting, isn’t it?

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.

Not much inspiration for today’s post.
Got really tired after workout this evening and as I was fixing my fried eggs had this idea popped in my head to shoot fried eggs. I am not a big fan of half-cooked fried eggs but had it that way for the shoot – as I want the yolks to have the shiny look.
It was a bit harder than I thought as the camera got fooled by whites on the egg white and black on the cast iron pan. So had this shot using spot metering (took the meter reading from one of the yolk) and used the white reflectors to eliminate shadows.
Now only if these eggs could smile…to make this a smiley face 🙂

Bonus picture for day 146.
Macro shot of stamen.
Photo 365: Day 145 – Run, run, as fast as you can;
Sort of self-portrait 😉
Another experimentation with lighting, and speed. As I was treadmill running this evening I got this idea to capture the run.
It was more harder than I thought. Setting the focus was the easy part – as I know where I will have my foot, I just pre-focused on that area on the treadmill. Then had the camera mounted on the tripod with the right exposure/speed setting and had it triggered using remote and self-timer. Then I experimented with varying my speed on the treadmill. Of all the shots I liked the one shot at f/1.8 and /15sec speed and that happens to be my first shot of this experiment.
Today is Twitter Tuesday – share your images here.
Photo 365: Day 144 – Flow
I had sometime to burn this evening and did some experimenting with lighting. I want to simulate the effect of smooth waterfall flow and used poppy seed (which we use for cooking) in place of water.
Initially had the camera set on manual mode for 0.5sec exposure. Then the camera was mounted on a tripod and had the timer set to click at 10secs – during that time I had the spoon filled with poppy seed and started dropping the poppy seed slowly into the pot. When the camera snapped it produced this smooth water flow effect. Those poppy seeds which got scattered produced a nice bokeh.
