a pair of pears, still life

the things you can do when you've got nothing to do. just some flash photography with a borrowed SB-800.

watch

in my pursuit of wanting to learn photography here are a few takes of learning how to strobe(sort of). i've been doing a lot of reading. this is testing the water before i take the plunge (re: buying a flash). :)

setting moon

this deserves a separate post. although the previous post is also about the "super moon" i thought this needs to be on a different blog post on its own.
i just love the way the moon is setting as the day breaks. it brings back happy childhood memories of my hometown.

satellite

the moon was at its closest distance to the earth in 18 years; the last time was March 8, 1993. and i missed my rare chance to shoot it in its fullness. oh well, i guess i would have to wait another 18 years or so for it to come around again. it doesn't really matter unless, of course, if i were a werewolf. i'd probably be itching to roam out and stalk some vampires and whatnots. anyway.

gear

my day job "gets in the way" of my new found love - photography.
here's a "paid" stint. my first. :)

look

take flight

betta fish

façade

light catcher

tuning

is there a thing as half-tone deaf? i think i am.
well i just enjoyed shooting the guitar that i thought it deserves another one.

muted light

star holes

hello kitty

my daughter's favourite shoes on the window sill. she placed it there i don't know why.

a bottle of vodka

no flash. just room lighting.
this makes the nikkor 50mm f/1.4 very enjoying to use in low-light situations.

bright lights

the nikon D7000 has, as they say, "focusing issues".
mine doesn't "know" how to do that. :)
here is un-focusing intentionally.

dragon fruits

the west window

my west window often gives me the best of both night and day photo opportunities.
