Photo 365: Day 92 – Where is my sister?

That’s my little boy.

He was a bit upset this afternoon after his sister went out on a play date. He goes “Not fair”…

Photo 365: Day 91 – Homework

Here is a picture of my daughter doing her homework this evening.

I have been wanting to start using my other lens(es) besides my Nikkor macro lens and I have to push myself this evening to use my 50 mm lens 😉

Photo 365: Day 89 – Kalanchoe (Bonus picture)

Bought this Kalanchoe plant last weekend to bring in some colors/life indoors 😉

Photo 365: Day 89 – Daniel Boone Bridge

Had to take our daughter to her music class this evening. On our way back home, my wife took this picture  as we were riding the Daniel Boone Bridge in Chesterfield. As I had set my camera mounted with manual Nikkor f/2.8 lens set to f/2.8, the frame at the closest end turned out rather soft – albeit it turned out pretty good 😉

Photo 365: Day 88 – Simplicity: Daffodil

These were the first to bloom in our yard.

Got home this evening and saw couple of daffodils in bloom. I wasn’t really up to lying in the ground to take the pictures this evening. So had to cut this and take it indoor to picture this. Shooting indoors gives me much control in setting up the background and also I don’t have to deal with wind and such.

Although I have to admit, this would have been even prettier in its natural setting 😉

Photo 365: Day 87 – Sneakers (bonus picture)

Bonus picture….

We bought this NB toddler sneakers for our little boy couple of months ago and with the nice weather outside, we thought of trying it out this evening. To our surprise our little ones feet is too big to fit in this cute little sneakers already. There goes another pair of sneakers to charity.

I bet this should make someone happy ;)

Photo 365: Day 86 – Beets germination

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I saw the beets germination – these pots were sitting in the tray atop the refrigerator (I had purposely seated them there  to keep them warm). Previously I had read that it takes about 7-14 days for them to germinate. In my case it took only 5 days. Only thing I could think of is because I had the seeds soaked in cold water for a day before sowing them.

I love the colors of the emerging plant. I bet the beets will taste good as well 😉

Photo 365: Day 85 – Soaker hose coupling

Bought 2×50′ soaker hose from Costco this evening to replace our 5 year old Sears bought Craftsman soaker hose. Over the period of past 5yrs it has worn out quite a bit and has been patched and re-patched umpteen times.

While deciding on what to shoot for today’s post, I saw this shinny coupling and took few pictures with my trusty Nikkor 60mm macro lens using window lighting. I am really pleased the way it turned out. As soaker hose was dark, it worked out as a backdrop for this shinny coupling.

Photo 365: Day 83 – Pattern on lamp base

Another macro capture using Nikkor 60mm macro. Never thought this lens will be used this often in my Photo 365 project. I will have to start using my other lenses in the days to come.
