Photo 365: Day 233 – TDS: 5

/12 Comments/in /by

Todays daily shoot assignment: Today’s number is 5. Make a photo that illustrates the number in some way, either literally or abstractly.

While cleaning up the basement couple of weeks ago I found these cool colored rocks in a ziplock bag. I am guessing my daughter had collected these at some point 😉

I have been wanting to shoot these rocks for my 365 project. So when I saw this TDS: 5 assignment early this AM, I made my mind to shoot this for todays photo post.

Due to its shinny surface, I had a hard time setting these rock atop one another. A little bit “putty” magic did the trick.

Shot this using Nikkor 60mm macro lens using natural window lighting.

Photo 365: Day 229 – TDS: Something edible

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something you eat today. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Make it look tasty.

Had a chance to try potato straws that we had bought from Costco last week. That was the snack for this evening and the subject for TDS assignment.

It was definitely tasty but not sure if I had shot this to look tasty 😉

Photo 365: Day 218 – Flowers

Had a chance to visit a friend’s home this morning and took pictures of his father celebrating his 75th birthday.

While I was there, I noticed that they had this brass bowl filled with water and floating flowers in the side table. Those two lotus flowers are artificial while the other flowers are real. I have to say, I am totally impressed with this floral arrangement.

I love the colors and welcoming feel on this arrangement. Real simple and quite effective.

Photo 365: Day 216 – TDS: Fabric

Todays daily shoot assignment: Fabric: we wear it, sleep on it, decorate with it. Make a photo of an interesting cloth design or texture.

Interesting assignment…because we see fabric with design and different texture everywhere 😉

So when I got back from work this evening went through the closet on deciding the fabric, design, and texture. Decided to go with my daughter’s silk dress for this assignment as I liked the color and craftsmanship on her dress .

To make this shot more interesting made some folds in her dress and shot this under window lighting with my Nikkor 60mm macro lens.

Today’s daily shoot challenge: Today’s theme is the color pink. Find something that’s pink and make a creative photo.

Phlox is my subject for TDS assignment. Had this shot using 60mm micro Nikkor. With cloudy skies this evening, background mulch almost looked dark brown – and it made a perfect backdrop for this shot.

Photo 365: Day 201: Change in texture

/15 Comments/in /by

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph that emphasizes a change in texture: smooth/rough, soft/hard, shiny/dull, etc.

Decided to shoot my daughter’s (old) faux straw bag for this assignment as I like the twist & turn pattern and really like the texture on this.

Photo 365: Day 197 – TDS Assignment – Food

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Everyone loves food photos! Make a close-up photograph of food you’re enjoying on a Friday. Arrange for good lighting.

Broiled shrimp – that’s for dinner 🙂
Used couple of white boards to fill-in the shadows and used window lighting for shooting this.

Photo 365: Day 196 – Daily Shoot Assignment: Abstraction

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Get creative with abstraction today. Make a photograph of patterns and/or shapes that aren’t recognizable objects.

It’s a pattern but I’m not quite sure if this qualifies for abstraction…

07/16/10:
It’s a stainless steel dish rack by the sink. To give it a abstract feel, had the dish rack sit on a black cardboard and used another black cardboard for background. Used while reflector to make the steel shine 😉

Used Coffee shop’ creamy choc b/w action in PS during PP.
