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.

Please can you add "All photos should be your own work (unless special circumstances have been agreed)", or words to that effect, so that it gets carried forward in the following months.

Cheers :)

today i am part of an instagram loop for "around the world." i love the town we live in, for the conveniences and access to everything. it's a great place to raise a family.

it's not, however, a very "pretty" town. but we have a fantastic trail 45 mile that cuts through and it is part of my daily halley walk, so thought it would be the only proper photo for this loop.

Editing some of the older photos taken in 2010-2011, I came upon this one. I am certain that some of the forum members who live in places where it gets very cold would figure what the subject in the photo is, but I will describe it nevertheless: The Nordic ice goddess, Skadi, created this work of art on a window pane at a cabin I was working at a few years ago. Used a Canon 7D and the EF 100mm Macro.

I remember that sort of floral frost on the inside of my grandmother's windows whenever I stayed there in winter, and I was fascinated by it. The prevalence of double glazing in houses have mostly stopped this happening now, although I've seen it in our wooden work room that has no heating.

My grandparents lived in an area known as the Weald of Kent in England, where there was a particular dip in the landscape and frosts were always more fierce than anywhere else around.

Cheers :)

I had never experienced so much detail on ice forming on glass until I worked at that cabin. The usual ice formations I had seen before had been "sort of" star-shaped and small in size. I had to edit the photo (above): increase contrast and brightness, increase the detail and highlights of the ice, and reduce the amount of dark bluish gray in the background.
