Day 8/365 – New Year 2010, originally uploaded by mssphotos.

Day 7/365 – Moon, originally uploaded by mssphotos.
On a full moon day I tried to capture but failed several time with over exposed. Finally after reading some articles online this is what I did.
The moon was shot several stops under exposed. Then using the Canon DPP software, increase the contrast to bring the exposure back and also played with brightness a little bit. This helps to make the background solid black and highlights the moon to the audience giving more details to the craters, etc.
With canon T1i, ISO 200, taken at 200mm using 70-200 mm lens, at F/10, 1/200 sec.
Droplets Bokeh, originally uploaded by mssphotos.
This was the first photo which had Bokeh in it without my knowledge. I realized that was bokeh after reading few articles. One of those days when it rained in the morning and used the “p” mode to shoot this.
I love this red delicious apple. With my family we had been to the apple picking at a nearby farm. It was great to see all those apple trees with lots and lots of apple. This hanging fruit shot was done using T1i with 70-200mm F/4 lens at 138mm. Cropped the shot to fill the frame and increased the clarity in lightroom. The day had very bright sun and I had to use the flash 580 EX II at ETTL mode to reduce some of the harsh light that was falling directly on this apple. I used the “P” mode on the camera.
