Day 285 #Project365

In this wet day we found ourselves landed in a place of pink and purple. Never thought that such place exists, oh but it does. Flowers and mushrooms seemed to be the chosen plants, while rainbows and stars could be seen (almost) in every corner. I was lucky enough to capture this flying fairy before she went off and joined her giggling/dancing/hopping friends. Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO500 | f/1.8 | 1/125 |

Day 283 #Project365

Aside from nice to look at, having a baby around also can also help to keep you warm. If you are lucky enough to hold/cuddle him, that is. Baby R did not disappoint. Not only he was an eye candy, he was also the source of warmth, for some of us, in this nice but still quite cool day. Cute pudgy hands were the focus for today’s image. Gotta love those little fingers..! Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | […]

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 262 #Project365

September 18, 2012 by [ayu]

I considered my post today as a continuation of one post I did about a month ago. It’s a branch of the same tree and was taken in a different season, so there were more buds blooming. Today’s image was taken hours before the late afternoon storm, it was cloudy but not too dark yet. There was minimal sun to be seen, so in a way the whole lighting looked pretty similar to the winter ‘version’ of it. It was […]

Day 104 #Project365

April 13, 2012 by [ayu]

I read an article about shooting with aperture wide open this week. The shots were amazing (you can see them here). Dreamy, as the writer suggested. And it is true that if you get it right you can have brilliant shot, but it is easy to get it wrong, especially if you use the auto focus. Well, that’s my biggest problem anyway. I find it tricky sometimes to “lock in” a focus point, because then just a slight movement to […]
