A small price to pay for such a wonderful shot!... had to give up though due to the sea spray being so bad and the fact I slipped on the rocks and landed on my back
That's gorgeous.
First time I've posted in any of these "of the Day" threads, but since I'm shooting every day now I probably can. Here's today's shot, 21/365: On the rocks

What is that? Some great shots here, as I said before, makes me want to get into photography..
This thread never ceases to amaze me. I aspire to the quality of shots that Doylem and Steamie are posting!

The mandatory eye shot.
I was testing my extension tubes with my 50mm lens. This is a 12mm tube on a Sigma 50mm f1.4.
F6.3, 1/200, ISO 400, hand-held. No cropping, just resized.

Hey Doylem, here's my take on Latrigg in the summer. I suspect it will enhance your image - but remember, I am a holiday maker - point and shoot kind of guy!
b & w from the archives...
This is a shot of Cliff Walker, one of the organizers of an anniversary event commemorating a mid-70s anti-war protest and subsequent police crackdown at Portland State University. It's seriously backlit with blown highlights, but I liked the effect in b/w. Probably wouldn't have worked in color... 35mm Illford HP5+, full-frame workprint, scanned.

Lapland in the Winter...
if the clouds break you can see for hundreds of kilometers. There are something like 4 hills (no mountains or peaks!!!) in all of Lapland and they are all skiing resorts. but once you get up to the top of the hill you have winds blowing at 20m/sec and temperatures that can go below -30C. I was lucky at "only " -20C but my snowboard which was leaning against the wall got blown away twice!
shot at 14mm with a UV filter present.
