Aquarium! This is  a long exposure shot of our aquarium at home.

Up until this point, I’ve been using my iPhone for taking the pictures for this challenge. Since this prompt requires me to use a different camera, I used my Nikon D5300 for this mirror selfie.

For today’s prompt, I was thinking what round shape should I take a photo of. Then it occured to me while staring at my toy collection, what’s a more iconic round shape than Captain America’s shield. Plus the fact that this particular toy itself was like a chibi version of the character and it had a big round head.

Inspirational people encourage you to always bring out the best version of yourself. They don’t need to be popular or people of influence. That’s why I consider my wife and my daughter to be the inspirational persons in my life because they motivate me to become a better person every day. 

I was a little tardy in posting my photo for the day cause the wife and I went somewhere. This is a photo of my homemade banana split. I found it kinda funny that I decided to use warm tones for a cold dessert. But in my defense, we do love to eat ice cream during summer time anyway. 

For today’s prompt, I wanted the photo to look like a bowl of cherries still life painting. 🍒

After almost 6 years, we finally found ourselves back in Dubai Outlet Mall. This mall  is in Dubailand, Dubai, UAE. It opened in 2007 and is located on the Dubai-Al Ain Road. Public transport (bus or metro) is not entirely accessible so you have to drive or take a taxi. Our main purpose for going here was to buy my daughter a new pair of shoes for school. The mall had an ongoing sale. But in the back of my mind, there was only one store in this mall that I wanted to go to. Comicave is a geek’s paradise. The last time I’ve been here 6 years ago, I was completely drooling from all of the collectibles they have on display. I was very excited to see how it changed in more than half a decade. They did not disappoint. The store had a whole lot of new stuff. The only few things that I saw from my  last visit   that are still there were the life-size Iron Man displays. Well, the fact that I cannot afford any of the stuff that I wanted there also remained the same. Here are some o...

My ever-supportive daughter modeled her mom’s polka dotted dress for today’s prompt. 

Got this Sudoku wood puzzle as a birthday gift from my sister-in-law. I thought it was the perfect subject for today’s prompt.

This is just my fourth photo for the challenge but I feel that my way of looking for subjects has started evolving.  This prompt, for example, is about hard work. Since this morning, I have been looking carefully for ideas everywhere I went. I had some ideas already in mind but I didn’t rule out any idea that may appear out of the blue right in front of my eyes. As I was exiting the metro station, lo and behold a group of road workers doing their thing on the sidewalk.  The only thing left to do was to somehow show on the photo just how challenging the work these guys are doing. I think this shot expressed that, at least in my point of view.

This is pretty much self explanatory. 😅

The prompt for today is “ Pattern ”. A pattern is a repetitive decorative design.  Though there are a lot of possible patterns that can be seen almost anywhere you look, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about patterns is animal fur patterns. I saw this small pouch/purse at home that looks like it has animal fur patterns. 

This is my first entry to the 365 photography challenge. The theme for today is anything I choose since it’s World Photography Day. The photo I chose is this macro shot of my daughters eye.

Last night, I came across a passionate video by Peter McKinnon where he expresses his frustration about Instagram no longer being a platform that prioritizes community for photographers. You can watch the video here:   To some extent, Peter McKinnon's observations hold true. Instagram, which was once a prominent photo-sharing platform, has shifted its focus towards short mobile videos, potentially in response to the popularity of TikTok. I've also noticed an increase in reels and advertisements flooding the Instagram feed. In the video, Peter mentions an alternative app he's been using to share his photos called Vero. Despite its existence for a while now, Vero seems to have flown under the radar. It positions itself as similar to Instagram in terms of content-sharing but distinguishes itself as "ad-free" and "algorithm-free." Intrigued by this concept, I decided to download the app and give it a try. Upon initial exploration, it appears to hold promise ...
