Day 324 #Project365

Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO320 | f/3.5 | 1/320 | It pays to take my camera everywhere. Like today. It was our typical Monday, we didn’t do anything special that could warrant a ‘special’ shot. Ms 4 and I arrived a bit early at my son’s school, so we had to wait a bit until he came out. She moved to the passenger seat and reclined the seat so she could lie down. A bit tired she […]

Day 319 #Project365

Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO800 | f/5.6 | 1/40 | When fellow 365 project doers who live in the northern hemisphere started to complain on the fact that their days are getting shorter, I am rejoicing the opposite here living down under. The day light is getting longer, and the days are even longer still as summer is yet to arrive. My kids were enjoying that short time post-dinner before they had to get […]

Day 317 #Project365

November 12, 2012 by [ayu]

A friend like L feels more like a sister most times than just a best friend. And I consider myself lucky I found several of these ‘sisters’ through out my youth. We kinda ‘adopted’ each other and manage to stay close over two decades. Or more.  Oceans apart (where most of them live anyway) and lapses of time don’t seem to matter. When you are close you are close no matter where you are. I’ve been enjoying every minute of […]

Day 306 #Project365

November 1, 2012 by [ayu]

Today is the first of November, which means that Movember is BACK. This is a global event to create awareness of men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health, and involves men to grow their moustache for the whole month-long. Hubby has decided to do it this month, but since it’s only the first day for him taking a break from his razor, I thought it’s more fun to share the photo of these lovely moustached ladies from A Bite […]

Day 305 #Project365

October 31, 2012 by [ayu]

I considered myself lucky that I happened to be in the neighborhood when I passed this ‘gathering’ of artistic people this morning. I was huffin’ and puffin’ towards the end of my morning run when I passed these students. These arts students from ANU were doing their art project called ‘Visions and Perspective’. This was only for the day. They had to take everything off by 3PM today. Some worked in groups some worked individually, but they all were busy […]

Day 303 #Project365

October 29, 2012 by [ayu]

I did not take any photo today as I was busy recovering from our ‘action-packed’ weekend. I did take heaps of photos then, so for today’s post I will share some of them, taken from several activities we did over the weekend. Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO400 | f/7.1 | 1/640 | School Spring Fair. The Animal Paddock was always the highlight at the fair, and this year was no exception. Who could resist […]

Day 299 #Project365

October 25, 2012 by [ayu]

I came from the land of black hair and dark brown eyes, that’s why taking photographs of people with other colour of hair and eyes (non black hair, and non brown eyes) is fascinating to me. This boy is the perfect example. R is  3 years old with a thick red hair, dark green eyes and cute freckles peppering his face. His mom and I often have coffee together, but only today I had my camera ready, and only today […]

Day 296 #Project365

October 22, 2012 by [ayu]

I was out of bribe, so I was grateful for this book that made Mr 8 sit still and totally engross in it that he did not mind me sitting down in front of him and just clicked away. Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO1600* | f/6.3 | 1/100 * I forgot to set the ISO back after some earlier shots, that’s how I ended up with such high ISO. Lucky the shot works, even when […]

Day 291 #Project365

October 17, 2012 by [ayu]

Every time after having my hair cut and coloured at a hair salon, I always have this narcissistic urge to take a self-portrait. The reason is quite simple, really, because it is practically the only time my hair looks so great. I’ll have this great hair day for two days, then the magic will be over as soon as I do my first hair wash at home. So it is rather ‘important’ to try to capture these rare great-hair-moments. Did […]
