Photo 365: Day 119 – Smiley

/7 Comments/in /by

My daughter has this cool tops with smileys – the first time I saw it, I decided to have smiley as a theme for my photo post someday in the near future. This evening as was I going through my kids toys, I saw this yo-yo with a smiley sticker on it. It’s a sign (LOL), so decided to have smiley as today’s subject.

So I had her smiley tops hung on a door knob to set it as a backdrop and then had the yo-yo set to hang from the tripod for this capture. I like the way it turned out 😀

On a related note, about a month ago I read about sarcmark – it’s a sarcasm punctuation mark. I bet it will come handy for twitter posts 😉

Photo 365: Day 116 – Wooden beads

Originally I had shot something else for today’s post and that did not turn out quite well. So as I was looking for some other subject, my little boy had picked up this box of wooden beads that we had bought for our daughter when she was 2yr old. That’s how how I ended up with this subject for today’s post 😉

Don’t forget…today is tasra365 Twitter Tuesday

Our Sunday ritual is go to the library & pick few books for the entire family. This was an exciting day for my daughter as we had borrowed the latest chapter book from Magic Tree House – Leprechaun in Late Winter. So she was in joy and as soon we got back home she started reading the book. I want to capture the moment of her involved in her reading and used my Nikon 50mm to capture this. Used SB600 flash to bounce it of the ceiling to get ambient lighting.

We had a nice weather this evening with a bit of breeze and a couple of drizzle – wished we had soaking rain though. It feels like summer already.

Anyway spent some time outdoors this evening with my little boy. He likes watching trucks/cars passing by and digging dirt unlike his big sister who likes reading books. So he was all excited this evening when I took him outside. So he had his bucket/trowel and was ready to get dirty.

So I confer Boys ‘R Boys.

There is a bonus post for day 105 here.

Photo 365: Day 100 – 100

/9 Comments/in /by

100 days since I started my Photo 365 project. Seems like yesterday (not really) since I posted my first photo post for my 365 project. I have to admit though, it’s not been easy going on this project. There are times I didn’t had any inspiration and even thought may be I should quit. Somehow I have kept it going on this so far…

So to mark 100 days on my project, decided to shoot these glow in the dark sticks that I picked from the Dollar store this morning. I had trouble setting this up though…so its not a great capture, but its a milestone.

Thanks for visiting/commenting and tomorrow is another day 😉

Photo 365: Day 96 – Kaleidoscope Tulip

/8 Comments/in /by

Here is a capture of Kaleidoscope Tulip that had bloomed in our front yard.

I wasn’t ready for acrobatics this evening (read that as I wasn’t ready to bend to capture this in its natural setting) as this was on a spot close to the garage door and other bushes. Further it was real windy this evening. So had it clipped and shot this indoor with a backdrop.

To make this composition interesting, I decided to add a leaf – further my wife felt the tulip was lonely 😉

Photo 365: Day 95 – I hear ice-cream truck

We had a wonderful weather here in St. Louis today and we even heard the ice-cream truck pass by our community this evening.

I think my little one was playing with his toys and as soon as he heard the truck pass by, he was on his heals and was looking for the truck looking through the windows shades by our dining area. I already had my camera ready as I was planning on taking pictures this evening and was able to capture this moment.

Photo 365: Day 94 – Daffodils in full bloom

A week ago I had posted Daffodil in my photo blog post titled Simplicity. Back then I had it cut and shot it indoors with a backdrop (link here).

For today’s post I took the picture of the bloom in its natural setting. Flowers are better captured in their natural setting – that’s my personal opinion 😉

That’s my 2year old tying to imitate his big sister. Surely he seems to have an attitude that he can do everything and anything that his sister does 😉

I am guessing you teach one kid and the other will catch-up…
