Had to kill some time this evening at Arby’s while getting my car fixed. As I was sipping my hot, sweetened coffee, a thought sparkled to hone my composition skills 😉
That’s how I ended up with this coffee shot.
Arby’s coffee – nothing special, just another run-of-the-mill coffee.
Had a chance to tryout Guerrilla Street Food this noon. Although their street food is not new to me, this time was rather different as I got free lunch 😉
They had tweeted earlier with a password and the first 5 to tell ’em their password gets free lunch – I guess it pays to follow ’em on twitter. Thank you Guerrilla Food!
Shot this as I waiting for my order to be filled.
Had a chance to attend a birthday party and shot this with my P&S camera as my friends were posing for a portrait and another friend was using his mobile phone/camera to shoot their portrait. I call this a Picture-in-Picture 😉
Had a chance to visit St. Louis downtown last evening and shot the Gateway Arch from the front of Busch Stadium. It was a quick run to the city and what all I had was my Fuji F30 P&S. May be next time I’ll have to lug my Nikon D70 😉
For folks not familiar with St. Louis area, St. Louis is a baseball city and we love St. Louis Cardinals. Here you see some of St. Louis Cardinals’ Hall of Fame statues and at the far end you can the 630 feet Gateway Arch monument.
Another fun photo post – yes; you can call it self-portrait 😉
As I went to check on my mailbox this evening, I had this idea pop in my mind. We always see things from one side, what if I could take a photo from the ‘other’ side. That’s how I ended up with this self-portrait.
Although I have to admit, self-portrait is not for me. So I thought may me I should get a bit creative with this shot. How about if I hid behind the mail box? So had my Fuji P&S set on macro mode, self-timer and had it metered using spot metering (took the metering on my skin). Then had the camera sit inside the mail box and when the timer was about to go off, I opened the mail box..Voila!
Took couple of tries to get the focus right. Not too bad I guess 😉
I kind of like the framing on this shot.
I had taken my car for a wash this evening.
As I had my car cleaned, I saw this interesting pattern on the windshield. There was light falling on the windshield from the wide open door just in front of the wash station, there was a splash of suds and the roller brush was just beginning to spin. I happened to have my travel P&S Fuji F30 and took few pictures. Had to crop this in post processing. I call this a splash of suds and colors 😉
