w52.2: On an uneventful Sunday..

May 1, 2011/10 Comments/in week 52/by Sasi Suruliraj

It’s an uneventful Sunday or you could call it a lazy Sunday…it has something to do with this cold weather that makes us relax or be unproductive 😉

While grocery shopping this morning, picked up a box of Crayola for the kids and my daughter came up with this art work. As I was still debating on what to post for this week’s blog post, I got my attention set on her art work. She was more than happy to get her work photographed.

In case if you’re wondering what’s by the flowers and the tree…she claims it’s a water fountain 😉

On a different note, I got my D70 sensor cleaned. I wasn’t really willing to get this cleaned by a professional for $100.00, so went on a DIY route (based on Nikhil’s suggestion). After blowing the sensor using my rocket blower and wet cleaning, sensor seems quite alright. Thanks Nikhil!

w52.1.0: The Unhealthy Truth

April 24, 2011/7 Comments/in week 52/by Sasi Suruliraj

My wife was a willing model for this shot. Here she is…reading a book we borrowed from the library last evening.

I heard it’s a good book on failing American food system. Definitely sounds like a whip on corporate food industry.

But have to admit – at times, Ignorance is a bliss…

There is one another shot for this week.

w52.1.1: Hands

That’s my son enjoying his Sunday morning home baked breakfast muffin.

No it’s not a paparazzi shot 😉

A Change of Plans

April 18, 2011/8 Comments/in photo 365/by Sasi Suruliraj

My daughter was a “willing” model for today’s shot – it always works when the family cooperates, doesn’t it?

A Change of Plans: After 450+ days of photo blogging, I am planning on going easy on this marathon daily photo posts. Although I very much enjoy blogging, I think time has come for me to concentrate on other things – be it self-improvement or time to spend more time with the family and/or getting fit.

I am thinking on going on a lighter version of this photo project, like a weekly post or something. Will decide soon – perhaps in a couple of days.

So that’s the message via this photo post.

I will still be around. You can find me on Facebook – Keep blogging!

Strong Shadow

March 16, 2011/6 Comments/in photo 365/by

With plenty of sunlight in our dining area decided to do this fun shot..call it sunny day catwalk.

There was sunlight creeping through the shades and got this little super guy placed in such a way to get strong shadows and give the feel that he is doing a catwalk 😉

Roman Shade

March 14, 2011/10 Comments/in photo 365/by

I was quite surprised to see snow when I woke up early this AM..and we thought spring was in the air.

Anyway weather seems to be warming up rest of the week and will have to see if I get some time to get out of home and take some shots.

Shot this roman shade this evening as my son was watching snow and counting cars 😉

I was drawn by the lines and curves..still don’t know how I missed this earlier.

Frozen lake Whetzel

Shot frozen lake Whetzel during my visit to the park last evening.

There is a bonus shot here – another shot of lake Whetzel from last fall season.

Waiting…

February 11, 2011/9 Comments/in photo 365/by

Shot this at a park near home as I was waiting for my daughter to get back from her chess club meet. It was about 5pm and the Sun was just about to set.

I really like the shadow of the tree upon the melting snow/ice, warmth and glow of the evening sunlight in this sunset shot.

Chicken drumstick curry

Another foodie shot…

There is something about food that I like to capture…may be it’s such a docile subject which doesn’t cringe or frown 😉

I was thinking about it on this line last week. My wife is a good cook and there is always something cooking, so how about I shoot her food for my blog. It makes me happy that I got a shot for the day and should make her happy that her food made it to the blog (besides feeding us).

It’s a win win situation, right?

Anyway, shot this using window lighting and used a foam board with aluminum foil stuck on it to direct the light on hard spots.

One of these days I need to pony up enough cash to buy continuous lighting, so that I am not totally relying on free window lighting. Nothing wrong with natural window lighting (that I always like), it’s just that I don’t have to make my shoot before Mr. Sun goes down.
