Day 15

Sunday was funday, and did a little different that I tried few months back for my college assignment.
Strobist info: Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D @ f/2, 1/30 sec. ISO 400, Nikon SB600 @ 1/64th power from camera right snooted and diffused, triggered via Cactus V2. Camera on tripod and controlled via laptop.

Day14

We had our classes for Industrial Photography. It was awesome. I was a little tired after I came back. I shot this in the morning before I left for college. I stood beside the window, and focused on the grill with manual focus. Camera was on self-timer.

Day 13

I went to Avalanche lake today again with one of my local friends Shatir and his cousins. Shot this there itself with the falling daylight. It was awesome going to that place when the lake shrunk to 1/4 of its size due to summer heat. This lake is fed by the rain water and is one of the reservoir of rain water harvesting project in Nilgiris.

Day 12

It was a crazy day, entire day I roamed around and shot only few photos, mostly went through those alleys and those old places I used to go in first 2-3 months. I loved it. This was taken inside a Pizza corner (Domino's Pizza) with the ambient light only.

Day 11

Today din't shoot much, however in the evening out for a dinner with two of my friends from Colombia. They are teachers there and came to Ooty for a backpacker-holiday. I shot this under the street light. Exif is pretty much same. It is a handheld shot and I got correct after three trials.

Day 10

I tried some splash shots inside a fish tank today. Learned a lot and had a 50% success. What can I say, I miss my Vivitar flash. Had trouble managing light for this shot. Also couldn't get clean water so the water in shots don't look good. After I was done I as usual did my today's blog post. This was taken against a yellow wall inside my living room.

strobist info: Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 @ f/2.8, 1/200sec. ISO100, Nikon SB600 @1/4th power softboxed (2X2 ft.) camera right 5 ft. away from me on a tripod triggered via Cactus V2. Camera on manual focus preset and got it correct after 5 trails (I am getting better).

Day 9

It was busier than I thought and I couldn't even some get time-off to have a decent dinner. Somehow grabbed some bite before I started working on my photos, and I know that its gonna be really late today. Also not keeping well as my stomach is giving me troubles. I was shooting some table-tops with my strobist setup and after I was done shooting some pizza (done eating as well), I shot this for my today's post. Its pretty neat setup and I like to use it for mostly my table-tops and high-key portraits. However, it is not a high-key here.

Strobist info: Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 @ f/4, 1/200sec., ISO 100. Nikon SB600 @1/4th power, bare flash behind a light panel (4 ft. away from me) of 4X2 ft. (made with Gateway/drafting paper, 2.5ft. away from me) from camera right triggered with Cactus V2 .

The background and base is white chart paper with thier matte side facing towards the camera. Camera was on timer, setup on a tripod with manual preset focus on the edge of the glass.
