Photo of the Day - January 2009

[Doylem]

The point of these kinds of photos is to take and display the photo on the other devices. Cheating in Photoshop isn't really all that impressive.

Try and do it for real next time!

Can't 'the point' of a picture be whatever the photographer wants it to be??

I agree, I actually quite like what that photographer did. To each his own.

Where is this at?

It was taken in the Panamint Valley (one of several deserts; I believe near Death Valley) in Southern California. One of the places my husband and I enjoy camping at.

working on the Honey-do's

Here's another bald eagle shot from Sunday. This is the male working on the nest while the female was chillin' in another tree.

Interesting colour contrast in your photos lately, great diffused lighting too!
The colour reminds me of that awesome rusted car shot against the sky you did a while back.

Thank you very much.

I can't seem to get a clear photo these days. Hmph the lighting wasn't that great and I don't have my kit lens, only 50mm f/1.8 which is probably why.

Where did you find the bald eagles? I'm in VA as well and very interested!

This is the most amazing shot. The next one is beautiful and powerful in its own right... but I want this one blown up on heavy textured canvas. I looks like an oil painting. Just stunning.

Thanks!

The light looks good to me: soft and warm. Look at the way it's reflecting off the right-hand side of the house. Maybe a different vantage point could have made the light work for you... instead of against you.

Frosty morning on Rydal Water. These two fishermen had all the gear: half a dozen rods on stands, with buzzers to tell them when a fish was biting. They had a tent with a stove and two armchairs.

Then one guy produces this radio-controlled model boat, attaches a baited line and sends the craft out into the middle of the lake. A flick of a switch deposits the bait just where he wants it, and he brings the boat back to shore. I ask how much it cost. More than $700 apparently...

Picture i took of my puppy this morning, as she experienced this thing called snow for the first time.

Hah! Often those little boats have troughs into which groundbait type stuff can be loaded into with remote flaps to allow drop at the right point. To bring the fish in. I assume these people were carp fishing.

More than $700 eh, at today's exchange rate or a year ago?

Thank you! I just got my first 'real' lens. Hope to really take off from here!
