I had to renew my license plates today. As I was preparing to remove my old license plates over the past weekend, I found that the bolts were really rusty and had a hard time to get them off the license plates – those plates were there in the car for almost 10+ years now. So when I got back from DMV office this evening, I saw these rusty bolts and thought these were good subject for today’s post.So here are the rusty bolts sitting atop the new license plate.
As I was looking for a subject for today’s post, I saw my daughter’s wicker bag. I really liked the pattern of knots on her bag. Framed it using my Nikkor 60mm macro and shot this at f18 and 1second exposure.
We had this coconut sitting in our counter top for more that a week now ready to be opened/slit. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t spoiled when I had this split open this noon – typically we tend to split coconut as soon as we get it from the store 🙂
I bought a couple of cheapo project clamp lights from Homedepot store and used it to lit the coconuts. I used my 50mm prime to capture this in full manual mode.
I thought it came out good.
I always wanted to capture the picture of a kettle blowing out steam. So tried this out by mounting my trusty 50mm prime on D70 on a tripod and setting the aperture to f11. Then put the camera in self timer mode and let the shutter click at 1 second.
Not a good shot…but one of these days I will perfect it 😉
Took this picture this evening as I was waiting for my daughter’s school bus to arrive. It was rainy day. I was holding my umbrella to protect my Fuji F30 point-and-shoot camera and used my other hand to take this picture. Hence it didn’t turnout the way I want it – may be one of these days I will re-shoot the walk with my D70.
Another macro post.
Today’s subject – toothpicks 😉
I took a series of pictures this evening (as I was waiting at Midas for an oil change) with the idea of posting them as a collage. I want the pictures to tell a story.
So here is the sequence of events…
Now you can tie these events with the picture collage.
Here is a macro capture of Whisk. Used 60mm macro in manual mode to capture this shot.
Got the macro capture of these bubbles from my mouth wash bottle. Took about 10 different shots using 3 different lens (setup) and finally settled on this one.
First I tried with Nikkor 60mm macro and I felt I still need a closer working range. Then I tried reverse mounting my 50mm prime onto a BR-2A reverse filter and still want to get a bit closer shot on the bubbles. Finally reverse mounted my Nikon 28mm manual and got the above shot.
I had a chance to visit St. Charles High School today – I had volunteered to take pictures for a community event that took place at the St. Charles high school. As I was entering the auditorium, I saw these mask showcased and these kind of reminded me of Jim Carrey’s Mask movie.
