Photo of the Day - January 2009

[Rt&Dzine]

I love this. It transports me to another time and place. Nice composition and the 3 people in the background are perfect.

This is probably a bit dark for some people's taste, but the original was fairly bland. I felt this process put some drama into the shot and reinforced the line from the bridge to the house on the hill.

I probably should have posted this yesterday; it's the crowds leaving after the inauguration. Taken on my P&S. I didn't really want to deal with an SLR.

I like this one, the red against the snowing background. Nice

I have the exact same car! Pretty photogenic!

Mine is sick right now though, I was planning on shooting it once it returns and the weather turns a little.

Love the cardinal. Reminds of home MA. How bout some cedar waxwings

 

[srf4real]

Yup you did good. I can't imagine it looking better any other way.



Been remodeling the office, finally have my workstation back up after a month's hiatus. Drywall dust really sucks!

Still wearing shorts in sunny Florida lol! A sequence shot...

A departure from my usual bug macros. I was out taking pics for my photography club assignment, and I thought I'd give flowers and composition a try after about 2 years without taking any flower pics.



Who knows, I might even use it as my desktop!

Nice flowers.

Doylem has his sheep, you've got your bugs.

You're the man, the "bug man".

Stick with the bugs "bug man" Cheers

Fantastic: Looks like everyone's walking towards the light...

Nothing interesting, but I play to go by the frozen lake this weekend to capture some photos if the lighting and weather permits.

My textbooks were staring at me, but I was watching TV instead. Sigh, story of my life.

 

[cosmokanga2]

Can't really see it but there was a heavy fog so I tried some time lapses at an intersection.

Invisible fog: what a novelty!

Another tree...

Thank You!

Thanks
I'll try my best with the Cedar Waxwing but I have not seen one as of yet.

Great shot and I like the post processing it gives it a very dramatic look to it.

Doylem another great shot!
I like the lighting against the fog.

Invisible fog: what a novelty!

Another tree...

Either the bottom of a parsnip... or gruesome evidence of the kind of antisocial disease that requires a discreet visit to a 'special' clinic... probably under an assumed name...

Like it a lot. Very classic look...

Knockout. I really like the patch of sunlight right behind the tree.

Nope....neither! It's a part of a copper/metallic fish thingy that I have hanging on a wall......

This is just a cheap shot of my newphews showing off some of their Christmas presents (I took this so I could print it off for their grandparents).

1D Mk IIN + 24-70L. Flash bounced off the ceiling. No colour/levels processing done on this, it's just how it came out of the camera. The only processing I did was an edge-mask sharpening pass to crisp up the detail.

Technically, I was pleased with it. Art/photographically speaking, it sucks...

This looks fantastic! The colors to me look great.

Can you post the exif data just for my own curiousity?

PS Do you know where I can get that british guitar shelf behind them?

camera: Canon 1D Mk II N | lens: EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM @ 40mm (52mm in 35mm film SLR) | aperture: f/2.8 | shutter speed: 1/80s | ISO: 200 | metering: Evaluative |

The shot was taken in manual mode - that's the only way I understand the flash with the 1D (I just let ETTL do the work for me).

And since I live in the Uk, it was pretty easy to find the shelf. Unfortunately, I don't know where it was bought from. If you especially want to know, I can ask my sister-in-law....
