Those are rose buds ready to bloom in my back yard.
It was a windy day this evening and I had to spend quite a bit of time for the wind to calm down before shooting this. Used my Nikkor 60mm macro lens for shooting this in manual mode.
There is a bonus picture for day 120 here.
That’s white corn & black bean salad. That was for dinner 😉
Food photography – that is something I’m really interested in besides macro, flower, and portrait photography. But I always struggle with food photography. I am not good at setting up the table for this kind of work. When I go back and look at my food photography pictures from the past, I feel they are flat !
May be I should take that as a challenge and do more food photography.
Feel free to add in your suggestion for food photography.
PETA people don’t read further 😉
I hate bunnies..yeah they are cute, as along as they stay away from my garden. In the quest to keep the bunnies away (humanely) I tried spraying my garden with hot chili peppers. That really worked, but it’s a quite a lot of work. So gave up on those and tried with a commercial product by name Liquid Fence (after reading positive reviews).
I got to tell you, Liquid Fence stinks and smells like…4 letter word! Too bad it won’t keep the bunnies away although it keeps the people away…
So I thought I will write to folks in Liquid Fence that their product stinks.
I bet they’re going to say, “WE KNOW”.
Anyway, the above picture is a Phlox bitten by bunnies 🙁
Not much creativity today 😉
Picked up a pineapple @Costco today and spent some time this evening on capturing the details. Used window lighting to capture the details and later used Adobe raw, and PS actions to sharpen the edges.
Here is an easy macro challenge for my blog visitors. The challenge is to identify this gear 😉
I will update this post with the answer tomorrow evening.
I was pleasantly surprised by the colors on thorns on our carpet rose bush in our backyard this evening. May be I have missed them during previous years. Definitely spring is full of colors and this Photo 365 project has taught me to observe things a bit closer (via my 3rd Eye ofcourse) 😉
No that’s not a shoot from a grocery store 😉
Those are some of the spices from our pantry.
We had a spring like weather in St. Louis today with occasional showers. Another reason for me to stay indoors and use my macro lens 😉
I was out of ideas for today’s post and my wife suggested may be I should try with oil/water setup. So spent some time on setting/shooting this and it turned out pretty good. Here is what I did to set this up for the shoot.
One thing you will need is lot of patience and don’t forget to shoot a lot of pictures. In my case, I thought most weren’t sharp. Out of about 30+ pictures I took this evening I only liked a couple 😉
Read that as Crack-a-AppleJack 😉
It’s a fun post…Got home late (as Wednesday being my daughter Math class day that I had to chauffeur) and was in a rush to shoot something before the losing sunlight. So thought I should do something creative with the monkey wrench. Trying to find something that would fit within its jaws was the hardest part – it would have been nice if we had some cherry tomatoes around.
Only thing colorful that I could find was AppleJacks…so here is Crack-a-AppleJack 😉
Ah I hit one of those days when you feel you don’t have anything else to shoot 🙁
Got home from work and took bunch of pictures and didn’t like any. That’s when I got the feeling that I didn’t have anything else to shoot. You could relate this to the feeling when you surf aimlessly and at some point think you’ve reached the end of the internet 😉
Anyway, as I was going through these downloaded pictures I saw this modem cable by my bookcase and it struck me ‘why not do a macro capture on modem cable?’
So took my camera with Nikkor 60mm macro lens and started shooting again. I really like the way this macro capture turned out.
Also this capture made me think how thankful we should be for the internet. I heard on NPR yesterday that on a recent survey on Internet Vs TV, people choose Internet over TV. Surely internet seem to be have become an indispensable part of life style. So I Thank you Internet!
