#DS440: Make a photograph that illustrates an aspect of communication.

50mm f/1.4G, 1/13sec, f/5.6, ISO1000

50/365 RED

 #DS439: Today's theme is red. Red hot? Red paint? Or something else? You decide.

Sometimes, I love getting snowed in coz it gives us an excuse to stay in our pajamas the whole day.

49/365 Curved Lines

DS#438: Make a photograph that features a very distinct curved line or surface today.

This next photo was taken last Monday, supposedly for assignment #DS435 (Use hard light that casts sharp distinct shadows in a photograph today.) But I decided to post my daughter's portrait instead. Well, tonight I'm going to share this as well coz it seems applicable for DS's current assignment. And the truth is, I like this better than the one above! LOL
 

48/365 Wet Snow

I slept for only 1.5 hours last night. So right now, I am really not up to using my brain and getting creative. But I took some photos this afternoon after picking up my daughter in school. Everything around us looked pretty and white. Like out of a postcard. Here are my entries for today. As soon as this post publishes, I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Make a photograph today that illustrates attraction. Pick whatever definition of the word you'd like.

Who wouldn't get attracted to this?!?

46/365 Flashlight

#DS435: Use hard light that casts sharp distinct shadows in a photograph today.

I thought I was not even going to make an entry today. I was already getting very frustrated. I could not envision what type of photograph I was going to make even though I've already seen lots of samples on The Daily Shoot website. And then Alyssa started messing with a couple of flashlights. And voila! I suddenly got creative again! LOL I know you can't even call this "hard light" since I already softened it up. But I like it better this way. Besides, my subject's patience is very thin. I have to make it quick and make do with what I was able to capture.

Anyway, in this portrait, my daughter's face was lit with just a regular flashlight angled at around 45 degrees. The RAW file actually had a very bright spot on her left cheek which I had to adjust a little bit on LR3 to come up with a better portrait.

I hope you are all having a great start of the week. Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate the pretty things in life. Make a photograph of the most beautiful thing you see today.

I didn't have to even think about today's theme. Alyssa IS the most beautiful thing I see everyday.
