Photo of the Day December 2015

That's a great idea. Of course, when I'm in a favourite pub, I hate to destroy the atmosphere: y'know, poking a camera in people's faces and getting in the way. And there are pubs (like this one) I don't want to change... or get more crowded. I'm conflicted. :rolleyes:

Where I photographed the old gent yesterday...

Do you find that some of the coziest pubs are not very photogenic? because they are full of nooks and sometimes just arent very plush inside as it is all about the atmosphere?

I notice how you lifted the exposure here and maybe made the light a tad harder than it was.... are you trying to discourage tourism per chance? :)

Thanks. I wasn't sure whether I liked this one or the similar B&W.

Blew the highlights in the clock in that one though. Think I prefer the colour because of that.

My vote goes for the colour version - just the right vintage atmospheric to go with the great days gone by of rail travel.

Taken one morning when I had to be in Washington Heights for an early crew call for a show I was working on. I was in the back of the cab napping (it's 45 min by car from where I live) and we stopped at a red light. It had started to move as I looked out the window and I saw this. It's very New York to me. Just some older Hispanic gents watching the city get started on its day just as they've watched the city change over the years on those benches.

A pub with great atmosphere may not be so photogenic. It's fun to find some lovely old pub, and maybe just a couple of people who don't mind being photographed. Fun, too, to try and capture some of that atmosphere... though I don't find it easy... :)

He is so adorable! Fabulous to see him in a real bookstore getting the hang of books.

Loving the 240 images. Beautiful separation of subject. I lika the Leica look just find the rendering so lovely to look at.

Another one from the Lakes. It was raining pretty hard at this point. I took this from the car.

I know I am biased but the British countryside is a beautiful thing to look at. As a younger me I used to go to Kielder forest with my dad and we would camp and walk round. I wish I had had a camera back then to capture some of the beauty I can now see in front of me. It cannot be stated enough, that youth has no idea of the beauty of the world and of what is right in front of you if you open your eyes and actually see.

This shot makes me want to get out into the hills again.

Thanks for posting.

I like this but think the lighting in the Fair and Phonebox image on Flickr is really interesting.

I am hoping the weather holds out do I can take my daughters to George Square in Glasgow later this afternoon when it is dark, and yes, I did use dark and afternoon in the same sentence! welcome to the North! otherwise known as Gods Country!

Thanks. I have similar memories of places I've been without a camera in my youth.

Good luck with the weather Kenoh. I also prefer the lighting on this one but the composition is lacking something. Comments always appreciated.
