Photo of the day - July 2008

[bimmerchop]

I love this, thank you. It's the one against the many, the non-conformist against the status quo.

Thanks, appreciate it

That looks like it would be so fun to drive around downtown.

edit:

Here's my shot for the day, I guess. I actually didn't take this photo, my father did. My mom arranged for "one last family trip" this summer, since my younger sister is about to graduate high school, and my oldest is graduating college (I'm in my third year). So we all got together and went to NYC two weeks ago.

You see me in the back, my older sister in the foreground, and my younger sister in between us.
I think this photo is really funny, but also well composed. He took it with the Canon Powershot I got him for Christmas. He used to shoot a lot with his AE-1, back before he moved into graphic design (my father, I mean)

Anyway, alseep at 30,000 feet.

not quite satisfied

I wish I had thought of this earlier now tens of maybe even hundreds of people have done this shot and it's everywhere on the internet.

That's really, really interesting. I wouldn't be disappointed if I were you.
And I think you would have had to think of this shot more than 50 years ago to be the first to catch car trails.

edit: bbottle, you're supposed to only post one photo per day.

But it's such a pretty little dragonfly!

Why is my screen name in bold spelled wrong?

My pic of the day is the cover of a book than will be out next spring, with 150 pix of Lake Windermere and surroundings. I've posted most of the 150 pix here already, as I took them... which has helped to give me the extra motivation to go out with my camera on days when it might have been easier not to bother.

The designer tried two different shots for the front cover. Didn't work. Then I picked this simple sunset shot, and bingo! It's not every pic that can take being cropped to square, and having text plastered all over it. Time for a small celebration. Where's the corkscrew...

Doylem, let me be the first to congratulate you on this wonderful achievement! I will be buying your book at amazon.uk asap. As a lurker on this thread, your book will be like a kind of diary for me, evoking memories of the day your posted your daily masterpiece. I can't wait!

Congrats! That's incredible. If anyone here should have a book published it's you. You photographs are incredible. Best of luck.

I just got back from a backpacking trip through Garibaldi Provincial Park B.C. Here is one of my favorite shots.

I love shots like this.

Really need to see motion through lights.

I'm sad that no one liked my escalator shot. Guess I should have loaded a higher resolution version.

Nope it flew away after a while, must have been picture day in the dragonfly world. I got stiffed on the fee BTW.

AMAZING!

I love how most of your photos are looking up. It's quite inspiring

That is a fish eye lens, correct? Normally I don't really care for the look, but here...

Implemented beautifully!


Your style and skill is something to be envied...



oh yeah...
Great shot!

Congrats, that's awesome. I have many of your pictures in my iPhoto program for my viewing pleasure. They often grace my desktop as well. I never made it to that part of England when I lived there, but your photos sure make me wish I had. I hope your book makes it across the pond because I'll definitely be looking for a copy. Let us know when its available!

Cheers.

Just a few pictures I took with my wife's backup gear.

Nikon D80 w/ Nikkor 50/1.8

I'm not a photographer at all, but I like to play around when I have a while to experiment.

The bridge is the "M Bridge" here in Memphis, TN.
The doorway is an experiment with oversaturation in RAW.
The building is HDR.

Comments, criticisms and everything else are welcome.

Wow. Bumper crop of great photos today! And Doylem: congrats!!!!!!

I love the background, and how glassy the water is. The foreground, not so much. I would have liked to have seen at least half the logs and more mountains-glassy water, IMHO.

Congratulations on your forthcoming book! I am due in London next June. Will pick up a copy from there

Wow. I didn't think you could get that close to a dragon fly.

I don't know if a response to this moderator's post is acceptable here or anywhere else on this forum, but I feel inclined to voice my opinion, so I will. While I understand that a certain level of content must be maintained in order to ensure the integrity of a given thread, I think it would be unfortunate to have a daily photo thread where short, impulsive comments are unwelcome. When someone responds to a photo with a simple "sweet shot" or some such thing, they may not be offering constructive criticism, but they are registering their appreciation nonetheless. These types of comments may seem too pithy or even vapid to some, but they do tell the photographer that something about his or her creation prompted a viewer to press that "quote" button. That alone is valuable feedback.

I completely agree.

Though now my post will be deleted.
