Photo 365: Day 144 – Flow

/9 Comments/in /by

I had sometime to burn this evening and did some experimenting with lighting. I want to simulate the effect of smooth waterfall flow and used poppy seed (which we use for cooking) in place of water.

Initially had the camera set on manual mode for 0.5sec exposure. Then the camera was mounted on a tripod and had the timer set to click at 10secs – during that time I had the spoon filled with poppy seed and started dropping the poppy seed slowly into the pot. When the camera snapped it produced this smooth water flow effect. Those poppy seeds which got scattered produced a nice bokeh.

I like Seinfeld and really enjoy watching the re-re-runs 😉

This was my final shot from my photo walk session on day:1. There are 9 pictures in this series.

Photo Walk Chicago – Trees in the park

I took this picture when I was returning back from my photo walk session. It is along the Michigan Ave.

It was real scenic and it was quite a contrast – on one side of the Michigan Ave. you see all the skyscrapers and the other side is all these scenic trees/parks.

I shot this when returning back from my photo walk session. I believe this is in Millennium park.

Photo Walk Chicago – Cloud Gate aka “The Bean”

I spent quite a bit of my time during my photo walk looking at The Bean. It’s marvelous sculpture and you see the reflection of the sky and the surrounding buildings in the bean – I only wish that it was a sunny day with blue skies.

Look close (here and the next 2 bean posts and) and try spotting me 😉

Another view of the bean from a different angle…it looks almost like an egg. Look closer and you’ll see lots of birds atop the bean.

It was rather a cloudy day when I went for a photo walk. I wish the sky were blue…

Did you see the bird atop? Seems like it’s nesting the bean 😉
