P52- Week 1 {Resolutions}

(T-rex at the Dinosaur Alive Exhibit taken with Nightshot function on)

This week I’ve been thinking about the 2012 resolutions which I have made. One of the resolutions that I have listed down is to take more photographs and learn how to use the functions on my semi-pro Sony Cybershot. I have been having this camera around for about 3 years and I’m still not very apt in using the manual functions on it.

I’ve decided that this is the year 2012 that I really try out all the functions that I have on the camera. It would be a good training ground for me to experiment on until I get my first DSLR. I will dutifully try to use the different controls while embarking on the P52 project.

In the shot above I was trying to capture the awesomeness of the most ferocious dinosaur known to man – T-Rex.  The shot was taken from underneath the beast so you can see the shadow of the skeleton  on the ceiling. It’s my first time using night vision and I’m amazed at how different the shot looks from normal photos.

Writer’s Workshop: Grandparents Comming For Dinner

This week on Mama Kat’s  Writer’s workshop  I’m answering the prompt-

4.) Your significant others family is coming over in two hours..think about what’s in your kitchen. Now QUICK…what’s for dinner!?!

I don’t really have guest over for dinner. However if the grandparents do pop by they will be able to savour any of these  Japanese dishes. My kids love Japanese food so we have Japanese cuisine often in our household.

If I am feeling adventurous and am up to it on energy and drive they will be having the following.

 

Rice with breaded chicken, tempura brinjal, Agedashi tofu, chawamushi and green tea. It would take me approximately 2 hours to make this including the time taken for marinating the chicken.

However if I am short on time they will be having one of the following one dish meals.

Curried macaroni with garden vegetables and chicken nuggets.
It takes about an hour to prepare this meal.

 Cold soba noodles with crab stick and fish cake.
This will take about 1/2 hr to make.

What do you have for dinner?
