Photo 365: Day 237 – TDS:Metallic
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something metallic today. Put the emphasis on texture and light.
Metallic…How about faucet? Turns out these faucets are non-metallic – I figured out after shooting this for TDS assignment. But decided to go with this shot 😉
I wasn’t really planning on a self-portrait – hence, want to stay away from this shinny faucet so that I don’t end up shooting a reflection of me and ending up with a selfi.
Had this shot with Sigma 150mm and used circular polarizer filter to eliminate glare.
Those smudges underneath the faucet – blame it on me…I did a poor job of fixing/plumbing this faucet 😉
Photo 365: Day 235 – TDS: Tool
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photo of a tool today. Screwdriver. Pliers. Computer. What’s the tool you find most important on a daily basis?
When I saw this TDS: Tool assignment this AM, what came to mind was my 5+ year old amazon.com bought, $10.00 swiss army knife 😉
I find it useful in one way or the other (although not everyday) and is real versatile tool that goes with me everywhere.
The challenge was how do I shoot it to make it look interesting. So had it rest against a cut kiwi fruit to bring in more color to this composition.
Photo 365: Day 234 – TDS: Low Key
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a low key photo today with lots of dark areas. You might need to use exposure compensation to make it work.
Didn’t get to shoot for todays photo post until about 9:00 PM this evening. School season has started here and we have gotten busy with my daughter’s outside school activities.
So when I got settled in for shooting, I started racking my brain on what to shoot for TDS: Low Key assignment 😉
I was looking for a subject with lot of black areas and as I was already in the kitchen, I happen to notice the dishwasher which had the door opened. Bingo – found my subject. It’s the dishes in the dishwasher with the lower rack pulled in to make it a low key spot.
Had this shot with Nikon 50mm prime @f/8 for 2sec exposure.
Photo 365: Day 233 – TDS: 5
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 232 – Papaya
Not much inspiration for TDS assignment this evening 🙁
I had few try outs this evening with TDS: glass theme – but none of ’em turned out to my likeliness. So asked suggestion from my wife and she thought may be I should try out with papaya fruit that we had got from international grocery store yesterday.
So todays subject for my 365 project is Papaya 😉
Shot this using natural window lighting. Used 50mm Nikon prime @f5.6 for this shot.
There is one my photo post for day 232 – Papaya seeds: macro.

Macro shot of papaya seeds.
Used Sigma 150mm macro lens @f/5.6 for this macro shot.
Photo 365: Day 231 – TDS: High POV
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph from a high point of view. Get on top of a building, use a ladder, or just look down at a small object.
Portrait with high POV is my response for TDS: High POV assignment.
Another shot of my little one. Used window lighting for this shot. Since it was a bit late this evening when I shot this, had to bump up the ISO to 800 and use shallow DOF. Shot this using 50mm prime in RAW mode.
Used Coffeeshop’s creamy chocolate PS action for PP.
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 228 – Bokeh
Not much inspiration for today. Took few pictures in the backyard this evening and didn’t like the way they turned out.
So this is a shot I took yesterday while returning back from the park. As we were waiting for the signal to turn green, shot this bokeh. Those red spots on the top are the red signal and those on the bottom are from the headlights of the oncoming cars.
