It's January on the International Dateline.


Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.

Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Fortnightly Challenge and Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

What settings did you use?

Hi,
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 12mm
Aperture: F9
Exposure: 30seconds
Compensation: 0ev
Focus: Manual to infinity
Triggered remotely with a Hähnel Radio remote. In case you are interested, I am the guy closest to the one with the green jacket in the group of people :)

Lit the firework, triggered, walked over to the other guys and watched... shot about 8 more, all of them on flickr.
But.. lucky shot I guess...REALLY lucky..

Just editing some photo's of new years and the morning after and came across this one that I liked the expression of.

Any feedback would be great on any part of the shot!

The colours in this are fantastic! Beautiful shot, really love this, shame the boats were in the way of the water, bet the reflection would've been amazing, still, absolutely lovely shot.

Nice colour tone editing, my only criticism is it seems as though the shutter speed was too slow on this shot and you picked up a little bit of motion blur from the subject, could've upped the ISO a bit higher to compensate, just looks a bit blurry, not badly, but it's noticeable. Other than that it's a really well shot photo, the lighting is really nice and warm on the subject which helps against the blinds in the background, that and a thin DOF is always nice :p

600mm, 1/125sec, F/8, ISO200.

Unfortunately, heat haze was starting to get nasty - so that was the only shot I got from that location that was even half decent.
