w52.31.1:Got Pez?

/7 Comments/in /by

Pez – who doesn’t like ’em?

My daughter has been wanting to buy her Pez candies and bought these just after Halloween. That’s the subject for this post.

One thing I didn’t get to explore much during my 365 project (last year) was flash photography and/or strobe photography. So I had ponied up money and bought couple of brollies (just a fancy word for lighting umbrellas), stands and CFL lighting.

Luckily had some time tonight  to play with the lighting and composition for this shot.

Used side lighting and diffused the light through a black umbrella – had the Pez candies seated on a black cardboard and used a black muslin as a backdrop for this setup.

Looks like a lot more to learn 😉

w52.15.1: Tandoori Salmon

Read that as tandoori marinated salmon…

It’s been quite some time now since my last foodie related shot for my w52 project. I really like spending time on foodie themed shot(s), but it takes some time setting up the food/subject for the shoot and by the time I got it all setup and ready to shoot, someone is already hungry at home 🙂

Overall I am a tad bit satisfied with this shot – with 60mm macro, this shot ended up as a macro..may be next time I have to stick to my 50mm prime for foodie shot(s).

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

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 😉

That’s a shot of climbing rose from our backyard. With all the rain these days, shot this indoors…

On a rainy day...

And the spring rain seems to be continuing here in St. Louis. It’s not a downpour but it’s continuous drizzle with a drop in temperature that makes you less productive…but then again, it’s Sunday 😉

w52.3.1: Abstract

Now that I’ve posted pictures of muffin in my photo blog umpteen times, want to try a different POV.

As this muffin (in a cupcake liner) was cooling – tilted halfway on a muffin pan, I shot this using Nikkor 60mm macro lens. With window lighting falling on the muffin, it gave a nice bokeh on the muffin top.

w52.0: So it begins…

So it begins...

So it begins..that’s a quote I like from the movie The Lord of the Rings. Couple of days ago I blogged about finishing up on my daily photo posts and going on a “lite” version.

Decided to take this lighter version of photo blogging project. This idea about doing a weekly project has been lurking in the back of my mind for a long time now. I think when I completed my 365 project back in Dec 31st, I want to jump in on this weekly project but some how ended up doing a daily post for the past months this year.

Then came the question of what to name it. Project 52 doesn’t sound as catchy as Project 365, may be because we are much used to concept of days and not by the the idea of going by the weeks.

How about w52 ?
So here is w52.0 – a prelude to w52. Sure, you can call me a geek 😉

As always, your comments are very much appreciated. I think that’s what fueled fuels me to keep going and going…
