Photo 365: Day 242 – TDS:Monochrome (macro challenge)
Todays daily shoot subject: Make a monochrome photograph today. Either use a single color subject/background or make it monochrome in post.
Another busy Wednesday and didn’t get to shoot for TDS assignment until about 7:00 PM this evening. I was planning on shooting something colorful (like leaves) but with limited light got to shoot something indoors and ended up doing a macro.
Can you identify this macro subject?
Macro challenge answer: It’s a dough blender with blades 😉
Photo 365: Day 241 – TDS:Local Weather
Todays daily shoot assignment: Illustrate your local weather today with a photo. Rain or shine. Cloudy or clear. Communicate what it’s like to the world.
We had a nice weather in St. Louis today. It was sunny most of the day with max temperature at about 90 F and later this evening we had some showers.
Shot this just outside our house when I got back from work this evening.
Used Sigma 17-70mm lens at its wide end @f/8 for this shot.
Photo 365: Day 240 – TDS:Diagonal line
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph featuring a diagonal line or series of diagonal lines. Pull our attention through the photograph.
For TDS assignment, I want to shoot a diagonal line formed by an every day subject – that made me think for a while this evening. Then I saw my daughter with her evening cup of warm water in a tea cup. That’s how I ended up with shooting tea cup.
Tried with a straw/tea-cup/water to form a diagonal line – but due to shallow depth, and being light in weight, the straw didn’t workout. So ended up using a tiny silver spoon to form a diagonal line with tea cup and water.
Used Nikkor 60mm macro @f/3.3 to shoot this.
Photo 365: Day 239 – TDS: Something cold
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph of something cold today. Ice cubes, frosty beverages, or the freezer aisle at the grocery store.
Another lazy Sunday – nothing accomplished (besides daughter’s school work) and not feeling guilty about it 😉
Just after lunch, my 2yr old went for his ice cream cone treat and I thought I will make few shots with TDS:Cold assignment in mind. Shot few pictures with Nikon 50mm @f/1.4 with focus set on the ice cream cone. As you might have experienced it’s hard taking picture of a 2yr old – they are full of energy and definitely f/1.4 helps a tad bit.
Out of 25+ shots I fired, I liked this one a lot.
Photo 365: Day 238 -TDS:Repetition
Todays daily shoot assignment: Use repetition to create an interesting photograph today. Grids, patterns, or a series of lines will all do the trick.
We are not a big fan of store bought yogurt. We prefer homemade yogurt over store bought yogurt. But my wife had volunteered to prepare food made of yogurt for a picnic this afternoon and I did some grocery shopping this morning and these yogurt tubs were among them.
These were perfect for TDS:repetition assignment.
There is one more picture post for TDS:Repetition assignment.

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 236 – TDS: Soft light
Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a photograph with soft light today. Try to almost totally eliminate shadows on your subject.
I had some vacation time to burn and took couple of days-off from work – hence the early post for my 365 project.
It’s been quite some time now since I last posted a food themed photo shot. Further I cooked yellow curry tofu with home grown hot peppers for lunch. Hence decided to combine TDS: soft light assignment with food theme for todays shoot.
To bring a “soft” effect, used soft-focus filter – I think I bought this filter about 8+ years ago on ebay and have used it few times now in my 365 project. Had this shot with 50mm @f/1.8 using natural window lighting.
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.
