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 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 269 #Project365

September 25, 2012 by [ayu]

The joy on her face while she was swinging high was so priceless. Her hair went everywhere. She was squealing and laughing so hard and so loud that if I hadn’t known better I’d guess that this was her first time on a swing. At one point she was even leaning back so far she almost flipped out of the swing. My intention was to capture all the riot, but sadly I failed. Capturing flying hair of a moving child […]

Day 261 #Project365

September 17, 2012 by [ayu]

The big windows in our lounge room allows a lot of light in and there is a certain time in a day, especially when it’s cloudy outside, when this room is beautifully lit by the nicest, softest, diffused, natural light. Mr 8 was not feeling too well so he stayed home for the day, and was lying down on the couch after lunch at the ‘perfect light’ time. Since he was unwell, he did not move too much, which even […]
