Photo of the Day - June 2009

[Steamie]

Nevermind, it's just not worth continuing this argument in the POTD.

From last year

Gorgeous landscape shot ! beautiful light on the ground, it really does look like one of Doylem's and that is intended as a compliment to you both.

I'm back to the Sunset Seascapes again.... Sorry

^Really nice, great lighting. The water is so blue almost cyan. Great work.

Thanks, TheReef. Many of the rivers and lakes in Slovenia have some mineral content that makes them very cyan. For example, the river Soča, taken on Wednesday:

I know you have to be joking. I can't get enough of your seascapes! Keep them coming.

Yesterday on Mastiles Lane, an ancient thoroughfare used by the monks of Fountains Abbey to visit their farms in the Yorkshire Dales...

The color isolation doesn't quite work for me in this image. To me, the eyes give the beautiful child an eerie quality.

I was waiting for someone to say that. The reason I went with the color isolation is because of her eyes. I've never seen eyes like hers before, they are absolutely shocking, I can't think of any other way to describe it (although creepy is pretty good, too). They are deep blue around the outside of the iris and slowly fade to pure white.

Very cool picture Otter. Where was that taken from?

That wouldn't be Mt. Hood in the background... would it?

It's Mt Rainier from the trail to Bandera Mt. Here's another view:

^^^Nice picture. I love the sky/clouds.

The really cool U-505 War Memorial, Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.

Haven't seen it since childhood. It's now in a Memorial Exhibit, enclosed in a replica Submarine Pen!

(they no longer allow photos inside the U-Boat, people were taking pics and trying to sell them online )

Olympus E-420, ISO 1600, 1/40, f2.8, 25mm (50mm equiv), Carl Zeiss Distagon T* (how appropriate is that?)

(the jpeg for the web doesn't do it justice...)

Great one again, Phrasikleia!

Beautiful as always Steamie, great colours, love how the moss is highlighted too.


So many great images everyone, I'd love to quote them all but there's too many to quote on these last few pages, Great work all!

^^^Nice picture. I love the sky/clouds.

Thanks. I debated whether to throw it on with my shadow in the shot.

Recent trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

Great shot. A unusual way to look at the Grand Canyon.

HDR is way too much fun. I love this apartment building! Don't live there but see it from time to time and decided to do a portrait today!

Still too grainy
