Street Photography: Colors

Another shot from my Chicago trip last week.

I was drawn by the splash of colors as I was walking down on Wabash Ave – there is white from the snow on the ground, terracotta on the building on the left, green on the delivery truck, and red on the coat worn by the pedestrian and the delivery guy.

Although I have to admit, these won’t come any close to those as spotted & shot by Nikhil 😉

Wall Decor

I am going through my photo archive and planning to post a few pics that didn’t make it to my photo blog.

Shot this last week in Chicago just outside Palmer House Hilton hotel. I think this was on Wabash Ave.

I was drawn by the wall decor.

Photo 365: Day 355 – Birds in flight

Took my son for a walk in our neighborhood this evening as we had weather in the 40s this evening.

As we were getting back home (just after sunset) shot these birds in flight. I like the way this shot turned out – there is a bit of motion and negative space in this shot. Didn’t have to do much processing either besides the crop and RAW to JPEG conversion.

Photo 365: Day 257 – TDS: Meal

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Preparing or eating food is a rhythmic part of life. Make a photo of a meal you prepared and ate today.

Well it’s not a homemade pizza..not a Digiorno either 😉

It’s a Home Run frozen pizza from Costco. That’s what was for dinner tonight.

I had few minutes for this shot before enjoying this cheesy pizza with the family.

Photo 365: Day 253 – TDS: Scale

Todays daily shoot assignment: Play with scale today. Make a photo of something small that looks huge.

Fun TDS assignment. Used my little boy’s digger toy for this assignment. We had some landscape stone from our last landscaping project and used those for this set-up.

Initially I had trouble shooting the subject to look huge – I was shooting real close with the zoom lens at its wide end and later figured I had to shoot at low angle to make the subject look huge.

Photo 365: Day 249 – TDS: Mode of Transportation

Todays daily shoot assignment: How did you get around today? Make a photograph of your transportation and post it.

I used my car/metro to get to work today (and every day). So used diptych to illustrate my mode of transportation.

Photo 365: Day 246 – TDS: Hands (bonus)

Bonus picture for TDS: Hands assignment.

Shot this yesterday at the picnic as my little boy was getting ready to quench his thirst.

His dirty nails…Being a Boy..Joy!

Photo 365: Day 243 – TDS:Ugly

Todays daily shoot assignment: Make a beautiful photograph of something commonly thought of as ugly.

For this TDS: Ugly assignment, I picked a common subject – wire clutter.

We all have wire clutter in our house, work place etc. which presents an ugly sight. I really don’t know how to make this a beautiful photograph though 😉

A clutter is a clutter. It’s an ugly sight both in real life and in a picture.

There is a bonus picture for day:243

Photo 365: Day 215 – TDS: Weather

Todays daily shoot assignment: Weather affects us all. Make a photo of weather or something affected by weather today.

Decided to go with something affected by weather for TDS weather assignment. Mercury reading on the thermometer gets changed/affected by the change in weather, doesn’t it?

That’s my interpretation of something affected by weather 😉
