Photo of the Day - October 2009

Took an evening trip to watch the sun go down at Great Falls Park and did a small hike to the water side to watch some kayakers. I set up my tripod and as the sun went down, the sky turned pink and I felt like it was winter already!

Luckily the clear skies picked up some clouds to add a little more to the image. Unfortunately, the Grad ND filter I used really made the purple/pink seem a little too much/distracting than it was in real life. I may fix it in lightroom one day.

Really lovely, tonyeck. The lighting does look somewhat artificial, but it's still a highly evocative capture, making me want to listen for the sound of the rushing water. I had to click on it a second time to admire it some more.

Pleasing composition... lit just right...

I'm photographing Quaker meetings because, well, I'm not sure anyone else is. "In thirty years there won't be any Quakers left", a woman said to me. And, looking at the age of the people here, she may be right...

Interesting project, Doylem. Nice to know there are still groups of people in the world who don't mind being photographed.

Ah right! wicked! I think its time you got back into photography. Killer thread you started here! Made me start to publish a photo a day on here, facebook, flickr and my website (naturally having a mac, iPhoto takes care of the last 3 in seconds ;P)

Todays and yesterdays as I didnt have time before

Nahh i meant that i only started it not even 6 months ago and i love it haha and thanks, but its just photo of the day - noone takes credit for it apart from the original creator, whoever that was This month has been awesome so far though, lots of nice fall shots Roll on winter...
Liked your pictures by the way, i think decent black and white is quite hard to achieve and you've pulled it off real nicely. Nice contrasts

Not brilliant, just a real P&S look but i have nothing else to post. Also hate the colour of the car park floor - orangey yellow? euhh.

Ah yeh forgot it was a thread thats been carried on
I've really taken a shine to photography since Ive got my DSLR it allows me to experiment with more freedom over the final image and RAW is a good bonus.
Thanks for the compliments, these were both actually scrap images from other days and I didnt have time to shoot those days so i published photos from the previous day. I actually started out with a black and white, fully manual, film course so its what I know best. (although I prefer others to the latest ones) But thanks! No photo today but I will do some serious shooting tomorrow!
Luke.

Edit: also sorry I cant provide feedback for your images colour as I'm colour blind :/ I guess that helps me shoot in B&W!

That photo (and this) were taken a little over a week ago at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, CA during the American Le Mans season finale The previous photo is a Mazda/Lola B09 "prototype" headed out of turn 11 onto the front straight, not sure who was driving when it was taken. The photo below is a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR followed by two Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, headed through turn 4
