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 Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

Policies

*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.

*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.

*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.

*Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.


Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.

** To see all of our past POTD threads (up to July 2013) please see the sticky thread here**

Tanagra (not really)
Interestingly, when I slap the 25mm f/1.4 on the G9 and point it at the Christmas tree, the DFD focusing gives me bokeh balls like the above. Systems with phase detect sensors will simply focus on the tree.

whatever your work, make it art. do it with all your heart. fill your canvas with paint. let it be messy. make it bold. make it unapologetically yours. most of all: make it. // david duchemin

Looks like it was shot through a fresnel magnifier

Bingo, and a gold star for the boy! Yes, the subject was indeed a magnifier. Didn't know until now that it is called a fresnel magnifier! This is an 8x10" piece of clear plastic which is meant to be a magnifier. Don't remember where I got it, possibly it was another find years ago at my mother's home when I was sorting through things there.... At any rate, I ran across it yesterday and began wondering what interesting thing I could do with it photographically. I set it up leaning against the vertical blinds in the master bedroom, with the sun pouring in through the window and with the colors of nature outside (bushes right under my window are now brown in anticipation of a long, cold winter), and started playing around..... In keeping with the whole experimental nature of this, I shot it with my iPhone rather than getting out the "real" camera.
