Photo of the day - July 2008

[srf4real]

All those photos from surf4real and the others .... sun, shorts, blond hair ... I just had to throw in a dose of Northern California reality. Thick wetsuits, booties, cold dark water ....

real men don't surf in Florida ....

Nice angle. I understand your position, you have every right to your own opinion...

This is my first contribution. Be kind. (please)

That is a beautiful photo of an incredibly cute puppy imo.

Interesting, nice....but gosh you're in Ireland. I want to see GREEN! Ok, I'm a bit biased I guess. Was coming back from a year in Egypt and stopped in Ireland on the way back.....green green and more green! I was hungry and thirsty for green after a year of brown (sand) blue (sky) and well gorgeous blue (Red Sea). I always think of Ireland as luscious green and can't get enough.

Cheers

Thanks zagato27. In Ireland we get lots of rain and the vegetation is normally lush green, but I thought this was a tad different ..

C+C welcome.

I like the border. Nice capture.

Very nice composition, i love the curves and colours of the car-background. Is it an HDR?

Hehehe, we had some of the same sunset for the past few days over yonder on Vancouver Island. Great photo btw. I went out today to capture it, and it was hiding behind a cloud, but it still turned out kind of neat. A few minutes earlier, it was bright red. Here is one i shot:

PS: Happy Canada Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, appreciate it, glad you like it . Yea, that one was an HDR shot. At first, I tried editing it like I usually do, but I made the mistake of shooting the car at mid day when the sun was at it's worst for lighting, wasn't coming out how I wanted it to because of that in combination with the headlight glare and half the car being in the shade. So I had to go back to the RAW file to run it through photomatix just to add in enough dynamic range to be able to distinguish the front bumper and grills of the car. Heres one from the same shoot, but this one wasn't done as an HDR ...

Actually "Buddy" is over a year and a half old. He is a Bichon Multese. Smaller then a bichon but still has the traits as one.

We are hoping that he will always look like a puppy.

You wanted Green...

You wanted some green, but this isn't anywhere near Ireland. American Fork Canyon, Utah:

20D, 17mm, f22, 4 sec, iso100

HDR from 15 (yes, overkill) Tripod RAW, 17mm

That certainly isn't Ireland, I can spot some blue sky.

Ya, the HDR definitely added a better range of colour. Also, i like the first one with the headlights on, and the angle it was shot at, both add to make it more interesting. But the second one (above) still is a nice shot as well.
