Sep 13 ~ Day 257 / 366 - Breakfast

If you have noticed, I have not updated the blog in almost 2 weeks. Although the post says Sep 13, I am posting on Sep 27. I did not take pictures these past few days and I am going to catch up and update the blog.

Sep 8 ~ Day 252 / 366 - Red Chilies

We have not been receiving themes for almost a month from project 365. I am finding it difficult coming up with new ideas for picture. I have created a list of themes and today it is spices. You will be seeing more spices for the next few days. :)

Sep 6 ~ Day 250 - Playing with my camera

We were stuck in traffic in the night and I was fidgeting with my camera. The result is this, car lights.

Aug 23 ~ Day 236 / 366 - Repeating Speed

I thought yesterday was the last day of catch up or repeat old themes to improve. Apparently not! I am taking this opportunity to repeat speed fro Apr 29. I need to improve but I feel it is lot better than my picture from spring.

Aug 22 ~ Day 235 / 366 - Catchup day: Repeating stopping time

Today is the last day of catch up days and wanted to photograph night pictures. I struggle taking decent picture in the night. Tried again today but of vein. I ended up repeating stopping time, again!

Aug 20 ~ Day 233 / 366 - Catch up day 9: Exploring

I like the composition of the above and the details of the bee in the below pictures.
I was trying macro and this is the best I could do. Time to get a macro lens!

Aug 14 ~ Day 227 / 366 - Catchup day 3: Orange


This is my pick and the one below is my husband's pick. I could not make up my mind and hence posting both the pictures.


Repeating orange from Feb 24. I liked my subject then but was not quite impressed with the photograph. The walkway did not have any natural light and there is a cast in the photo because of the light. In today's picture it is the opposite. There was plenty of sunshine and I took it under direct sunlight as I wanted the shadows.

Aug 13 ~ Day 226 / 366 - Catch up day 2: Exploring, freezing time

After stopping time, I did the opposite here. Freeze time. I shot this in my kitchen which has no natural light. I had to use fast shutter speed and despite increasing the ISO, this was the best lighting I could get for the picture.

Aug 12 ~ Day 225 - Catch up day 1: Stopping time

Next few days are going to be catch up days or repeat a theme. I have not missed any themes thus far hence will be repeating some of the themes during these catch up days. One theme I really wanted to repeat is stopping time. When I did this  theme back in Feb, I owned a point & shoot camera and could not really play with the settings. Now that I have a SLR, this theme has been on top of my "to repeat"  list. I actually wanted to photograph traffic in night but decided do this first.  I wish I had removed all the clutter before clicking.. :(
