I hope to take (and post) one photo every week in the year 2010. This blog contains the photos which I have taken so far. I have completed a photo a week for the years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
This photo was taken from the 50th floor of the tallest building in Boston, the Prudential building. The view from there was awesome.
Posed in this photo are my roommates and a roommate's friend. I am glad that I am improving my skills to make people pose for my photos.
Edit: Here is a panorama taken from the top of that building. Three photo were merged into a single one. Since the camera was hand held (not in a tripod), the merge is not perfect. I initially tried to merge the photos using photoshop and found it to be difficult. But the canon's photostich software did that job very nicely.
Simple photo, but it was difficult to setup the background. (The background is actually a kitchen pan). I could have taken a better shot, but the egg slowly moved away from the initial place where it was broken and finally fell on the floor carpet :-( Then I had a tough time cleaning the carpet.
I got an old rose and was thinking for about a week on how to take a good photo with it. First I tried with a white background. Then tried a black background. Black seemed to be much better. The sprayed water provided a good effect. But the real trick in this photo is the lighting. The reflections on the water drops have provided a very nice effect. The water drops and background take the attention slightly away from the rose. Nevertheless, this is one of the best photos I have ever taken.
Congratulations to me for completing one year of 'A photo a week' blog. I feel proud. Thanks a lot to the people who supported me, especially Renjith John who has been my biggest fan ;-)
All the photos so far have been taken using Olympus C740.
How am I going to reward myself for this achievement? May be with a DSLR and a few good lenses.
