Photo of the day: August 2011

[TheReef]

Reef, just out of curiosity and for my own education, do you use any filters for these pictures, such as as FL-W magenta filter?

3 stop neutral density and ND Grad usually.
In terms of magenta colour, this is pretty much as I saw it.
I usually set out after a thunderstorm has passed in the afternoon and head out to sea, that's when the best colours come out... there's usually lighting on the horizon too, but I haven't been lucky enough to catch any yet...

Thanks. I really enjoy these series of photos and the composition, softness and colors in them.

Remember, it's -one- photo per day in this thread.

Yes, I know. The date stamps, at least at Pacific time, show that I followed the rule.

EDIT: Oh, now I see you've discussed that point.

Cooling off at the Blackwater River this morning...

My lab sort of looks like a lion.

I'll race you

Not quite leonine (^^^) but just as lovable:

Today is another "short of time" day, so I went with a flower macro. I imported it on the iPad and applied adjustments in Snapseed to achieve this look.

Phrasikleia, thats great - where is that?

Thanks. It's some little village in Slovenia. (I have trouble remembering names that I can barely pronounce. )


One from Friday...

Loverly light, a great balance of elements, just enough to hold it together nicely.

I love the way the leaves in the foreground and the foliage and mountain range seem to frame the building. They definitely draw your eye straight to the main subject.

I liked how yesterday's image came out, so I decided to do another one with similar treatment today. This flower was in my neighbor's yard, so I had to take my white background outside this time. The morning sun provided just a hint of light through some trees to light it without being entirely in shade or entirely in bright sunlight. I then imported to my iPad and used SnapSeed for the post process treatment.

Hi all,

One of the Twin Barns at the Nisqually Delta. It's kind of quite in a bird sanctuary in August.

One more sunset shot.


Oh, and I agree with Dale above. The B/W treatment is perfect for this shot. And I still can't believe that the reflection is from the car's sunroof. Brilliant!

Hot off the camera (took this one just a few hours ago)...
