Photo 365: Day 74 – Symmetry

/in /by

Here is my another last minute try out…Usually I like taking pictures when I get back from work when there is sufficient light. It was such a busy day (blame it on the time change), I had to scramble for ideas until the last moment 😉

We have this colorful umbrella and my 2 year old was playing with this over the past weekend. I kind of know that it could be a subject for someday. As I was racking my brain on how to make this as a subject for today’s post, I saw the symmetry (of triangles) when I opened up the umbrella. So had to set my camera with 50mm prime on the tripod and shot this with 5sec exposure and f/11 aperture. I really liked the way it turned out.

I have to say, life is made of math & science 😉

Photo 365: Day 73 -Veggies, good for ya

/in /by

Sunday is a busy day for us. It’s the day we cook, and bake for the week ahead.

We cooked hearty veggies/bean soup for the week ahead and took few pictures while prepping for the soup. Its quite an easy recipe to follow – dice all the veggies, throw them in a cast iron pot with seasoning, & chicken stock and let it simmer. It’s good for ya 😉

Photo 365: Day 72 – Portabella

/in /by

It’s our grocery shopping day 😉

Bought these portabella mushroom caps for grilling and took few pictures of portabella gills this afternoon. Used Nikkor 60mm macro to capture these. I really like the way these turned out – these gills looks like soft pillows 😉

Photo 365: Day 70 – Is it Friday yet?

/in /by

I am a long time listener of NPR radio and I regularly listen to Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation on weekdays and Science Friday on Fridays. About a month or so, I got an email about Science Friday being hosted in St. Louis Science Center by Ira Flatow. I was delighted and immediately signed up. Really lucky enough to get a free ticket to watch the live show tomorrow…so “Is it Friday yet?”

Photo 365:Day 69 – Two Froggies

/1 Comment/in /by

Ah it’s another one of those days….

Didn’t get to decide on the subject for today’s post until the last moment and by the time I decided to take a picture of these accent froggies, Sun has gone down already…so has to settle on capturing these with the aid of flash lighting.

Took couple of picture of froggies with their cute face looking at the camera and felt they were quite boring to my taste. So have to seat them such that they were looking away from the camera…I kind of like it. Seems like these froggies are wondering – ‘where did the Sun go?’ 😉

Photo 365: Day 67 – Sharpened pencils for my sharp little girl

/in /by

As I was thinking about a subject for my today’s photo post this evening, I saw these sharpened pencils (my wife does a good job of keeping these organized) and my daughter doing her home work. I want to capture the mood of my daughter working on her home work along with these sharpened pencils. What came to my mind immediately was a ‘bokeh’ capture. Used 50mm prime this evening for this capture.

Its my daughter giving a quizzical look at the far end. She sure is my sharp little girl 😉

Photo 365: Day 66 – Iris in full bloom

/in /by

Here is a capture of Iris in full bloom.

I had something else in mind for today’s post with the Iris before landing on this bloomed Iris. Originally I want to capture a macro with the Iris petals but found the petals were already starting to curl – sign of aging I guess 😉 So captured this full bloom with Nikon 50mm prime.

My wife was assisting with holding up the backdrop – so its a team effort for today’s post 😉

Photo 365: Day 65 – Iris again

Here is a picture of Iris (again) which is just about ready to bloom.

  • Shot this as RAW and later tweaked just a bit in Adobe RAW.
