Photo 365: Day 63 – Window Blinds
As I was having my dinner this evening, I saw the westward sunlight creeping through the window blinds. Shot the light/blinds using 50mm prime and later modified the color/tone using PS actions.

Photo 365: Day 62 – Bunch of Keys
I had to pick my daughter from her class this evening and as I was waiting for her, I took the picture of my key bunch with Fuji P&S F30. Later this evening I was able to give it a soft/faded feel using the CS4 action set that I had downloaded from Pioneer Woman Blog.
So kudos to Pioneer Woman for making the action set freely available for download.
Photo 365: Day 61 – Silhouette
Contrary to yesterday’s post, today’s photo post is not a cheerful/colorful one.
Did some experimentation with lighting this evening to capture this silhouette of netting on the screen door. Focused the camera at the netting towards the bright clouds/sky. Used manual mode and slightly overexposed to wash out netting that were out of focus. As I used 60mm macro with shallow depth of field, all the netting towards the far right and left appears almost washed out.
Later used Adobe RAW to add contrast. I kind of like it 😉
Photo 365: Day 59 – Chicken Noodle Soup
We had a chance to try out Chicken Noodle Soup recipe from ‘The Pioneer Woman’ blog today.
Turned out really good. But I have to admit, it took about 4+ hours from start to finish and we have about 15+ servings of soup in the freezer 😉
Will definitely try this again…
Photo 365: Day 57 – Is it Spring yet?
That is a picture of my Fire Cracker plant ready for spring or nice weather so that it could be me moved out.
Currently I have Fire Cracker plant along with Curry leaves plant, and Arabian Jasmine plant in the basement. Though they have survived so far this winter, I could definitely see that these plants are under stress. As seen from the plant leaves, they are deprived of chlorophyll due to insufficient sun light.
I bet, if there were to talk they would grumble “Is it Spring yet?” 😉
Photo 365: Day 54 – Sign of Spring
Upon returning from picking up our mail this evening, I noticed that the Daffodils have started to germinate.
Definitely seems like a sign of spring 😉
Photo 365: Day 53 – Seashells
Today’s post is another macro capture using my Nikkor 60mm lens and the subject is seashells. I keep going back to my Nikkor 60mm macro lens and I never thought I would be using my 60mm macro this much.
Photo 365: Day 52 – 8 seconds
Had a chance to experiment/play with light this afternoon. As I am pushing myself to make use of my Nikon 50mm prime lens (besides using it for portraits), this afternoon I tried my hands on taking picture of my alarm clock in natural lighting.
We got this electrical, backlight alarm clock that has seconds hand. For my light experiment, I exposed my camera for 8 seconds exposure and you can see the trails of seconds hand. As you could see just by counting the trails, this was indeed exposed for 8seconds.
Also, try my next capture of the same set-up with different composition and 6 seconds exposure.

Photo 365: Day 50 – Mickey
Another bokeh…I told more bokeh posts are to come, right?
We got the colorful Minnie Mickey piggy bank during our trip to Disney Land in 2000 and during our last trip to India got a golden Mickey pendant. So here is my attempt to combine the two in a snap 😉
I had my wife hold the pendant for me while I was using D70/60mm micro Nikkor to picture these in manual mode.
