The story is that the services of a herald were used to come up with this design. The red lion rampant because the school is in Kenya and the eagle head because of the mythical Griffin which has the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. The two bugles are for the school band. The colours correspond to the School uniform. The Stars in the background because Starehe sounds like starry.

Moon rise over the neighbourhood. Didn’t quite get the moon in proper focus and due to the lighting situation used HDR in lightroom

The Nairobi Skyline from Uluru park is one photo I have wanted to do for years and today I finally did it! The 50mm tight crop meant I had a small area to choose and decided on the Iconic KICC and the tallest in the CBD Times Tower. Post in Lightroom

I have done few portraits yet the 50mm is a "portrait" lens. This was originally a head and shoulders shot but cropped it to remove distractions in the background. It was Just about sunset and the golden hour lighting gave me something nice to play with and I took advantage of the opportunity. Post in Lightroom. Model: Elsie

This time I actually caught the sun going down and I usually like doing deep silhouettes for a sunset

As you may have noticed I like taking pics of things around the house. This time I go for an unlit candle.

Over the Austrian Alps. It was quite misty today hence had to point down to get the clearest shot I could at 1/320 and f/9. I retouched and the results are here below

16/50 Just managed to sneak this one in before midnight. 1/4000 f/1.8 Still a bit overexposed in parts at the fastest shutter speed I could do. Will do some retouching in Lightroom and the results are below.

Left this one till late. A first experiment in Long exposure. Will have to learn how to stop the lights overwhelming the image.Also tried to get as much symmetry as I could. Got a tripod to steady things and kept the shutter open for 30 seconds and for detail closed the aperture to f/20

Somethings cooking... I was more focused (pun intended) on the cooking so it may look a bit soft in places. You can say it didn't quite 'wok' out :) This is also my first using flash bounced off the ceiling. 1/80 f/2.8
50 x 50 x 50 Number Nine
Late post due to bad internet where I was last night. Another Portrait. Today's model is my mum. It was was her birthday yesterday so made it extra special. I took this one at dusk and played with the settings to get something done with low light. 1/60 f/2.8 ISO800

Somebody recently asked me if the camera can take selfies. Challenge accepted! Used natural light through a window against my face. I like detail and a little darkness so I underexposed a bit and closed up the aperture. 1/125 f /6.3

I wanted to get more in focus so closed down the aperture a bit. Pictures of flowers are almost cliche and who am I to be left out :) 1/125 f/13

Something that screams Kenyan. I liked this one but the sensitivity was a bit too high at ISO2000 so I had to fix that a bit. 1/125 f/4. It is not fully sharp but not too blurry and I like the amount of detail.

Managed to sneak one in today to keep things going. Something that’s always around the house. 1/125 f/4

4/50 It’s a full moon tonight! Revisting something I had done earlier and incorporating it into the project. 1/250 f/8 Another crop

3/50 Stooped down to get a close up of the Rhodes grass. It was pretty sunny and windy so I moved the shutter speed to 1/4000 and used f/2.8 which made for the bokeh effect. Small confession - I cropped this one a bit :)
