Photo of the Day: April 2019

[oblomow]

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.

My view at Loftus Road – home of my beloved Queens Park Rangers FC – in London. We won this game (vs. Leeds United, 1-0) but, alas, they are not up to much these days!

Future orange juice. The aroma is so sweet, love bicycling through the countryside along the groves.

Cheers AFB. So you want to know my secrets eh? Nothing so advanced I'm afraid. Circular polariser and 6-stop ND to get the shutter speed to around 6-seconds. A bit of a vignette in post and hey presto!.
