Photo 365: Day 270 – TDS:Ouch

/7 Comments/in /by

Today’ daily shoot assignment: Create a photo that illustrates the word “ouch” with your own personal interpretation.

Another real busy Wednesday. Didn’t get to do my shoot for day:270 until about 9:00 PM this evening.

So decided to do something with candle light for today’s photo post. Β Then I thought, how about if I catch the glow caused by candle light on the palm of my hand…so began experimenting after sending the family to bed.

While experimenting this shoot, I did mutter “Ouch” couple of time – perhaps I had my thumb placed too close to the candle flame πŸ˜‰

So had my shot done and it kind of worked out for TDS assignment.

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Power plugs are ubiquitous. Can you make a creative photo of such a common thing? Try it today!

Well it’s not a power plug but it’s a HomePlug πŸ˜‰

I use HomePlug technology, to distribute broadband Internet via electrical wires @home. That’s the subject for TDS assignment.

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Fences and walls can divide or demarcate. Make a creative photo of a fence or wall today.

Visited my Friend’s home this afternoon and took this picture with the Fence assignment in mind. IMHO fence is a boring subject, so had this shot with the fence as the background.

Photo 365: Day 266 – TDS: Indulgence

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph that shows an interpretation of your favorite indulgence or guilty pleasure.

Indulgence: It has to be dark chocolate besides ice cream πŸ˜‰

Got to love the bitterness of dark chocolate with high percentage of cocoa. I think I like it the best when the chocolate has about 75% of cocoa content.

Photo 365: Day 265 – Basketball Pole

Another busy Friday evening. I had to take my daughter for her Chess club meet this evening and shot this basketball pole just outside the club meet place while I was waiting for my daughter. It’s odd that there is a basketball pole in the parking lot πŸ˜‰

Used Fuji P&S camera for this shot. Though I could use this P&S in A/S mode, it’s a bit limited – I could set the aperture from f/2.8 through f/8.0

Had this shot in aperture mode @f/8.0

Photo 365: Day 264 – TDS: Symmetry

/8 Comments/in /by

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Symmetry can be calm and soothing. Make a photo today featuring symmetry, either in subject or composition.

Shot this while I was getting back from my work this evening on the Metro.

Surprisingly it wasn’t crowded. There were only few folks and they didn’t mind me shooting pictures – perhaps it was because of my Fuji P&S camera and people weren’t intimidated πŸ˜‰

No TDS assignment for me today. Clutter was the subject for TDS assignment and it isn’t my favorite. Who likes clutter any way πŸ˜‰
Had about 15 minutes this evening for my daily shoot and shot the light coming in through the windows in my daughter’s room – had this shot from my office room. As there wasn’t sufficient light, had to bump up the ISO to 1600.

Photo 365: Day 262 – TDS: Mirror

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Use a mirror as part of a composition in a photograph today. Show yourself in the image if you’d like!

Had a chance to take my little boy to Faust Park this evening while my wife took my daughter for her singing lesson this evening.

As we were driving around the park, I saw another photog taking pictures of ducks in the near by pond and shot this looking through the rear view mirror.

I really like the way it turned out.

Also there is a bonus shot for TDS: Mirror assignment –> here.

Bonus shot for TDS: Mirror assignment.

Shot this on our way to my daughter’s singing lesson this evening. As my wife was driving, I get to relax and play with my camera πŸ˜‰

As I knew we will be driving over the Boone’s Crossing bridge, I had quite some time to get the exposure and timing right.

I like the symmetry and reflection in this shot.

Photo 365: Day 261 – TDS: Something Soft

/11 Comments/in /by

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something that is soft, or at least looks that way. Convince the viewer of the softness.

Something that’s soft…my original thought when I saw this assignment this AM was to use my soft focus filter to achieve the soft effect. But having used that couple of times before in this 365 project decided to go something with soft texture.

Soft texture…how about soft Tofu? Unfortunately we didn’t buy Tofu during our weekly shopping for this week. Then I thought about soft/creamy garlic/herb cheese that we bought couple of days ago…

So had these plated along with some crackers for this shot. Used 50mm prime @f/1.4 to get a creamy DOF.
