Regular readers of Dominique’s Desk would know by now about my obsession with Japanese cuisine. I love eating Japanese food and do try to cook Japanese at home when I get the chance. Over the week we had two outing to Japanese restaurants with the kids for lunch. I love raw salmon and we ordered the salmon combination above for everyone to share.
Small bowl of udon
The kids were not really into the sushi we ordered so they opted for a bowl of udon each for lunch instead.
I’ve always been interested in taking photographs of flora. Each time we go to the park. I try to snap pictures of the flowers that I see. Unfortunately on most occasions I do not have my DSLR with me and I have to make do with my HTC phone camera.
A few weeks ago we brought the kids to have a spin on the Go Kart at West Coast Park. While riding around in the park I saw a few tropical blooms. Using the filter- depth of field on my hand phone I snapped the above shot. I was focusing on the center of the flower and the filter helped to blur out the surrounding only living what I was focusing on clear.
Sometimes I feel that one needs to temporary blur out the surroundings to be able to refocus. I find that this approach has been serving me well. Very often our vision can get clouded on the way and it can be difficult to keep our aim on our focus. To be able to trudge one one has to sometimes to take time out to refocus to ensure that what we are working for is still our aim.
