Photo of the day - September 2009

[TheReef]

Good grief, TheReef.
What lighting is that?

It's a floodlight for those who use the tidal pool at night. (I never would though )

This way to the egret ... (or heron as the case may be)

Taken at Wakodahatchee Wetlands , Florida , 5D , 100-400 , f7.1@1/400 , iso 800
Apologies to the late P.T. Barnum

Tri-colored Heron I believe.

Very nice. Simple...and stunning. What more can you ask for out of an image? Based on this shot alone I'd say it was a good buy.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it- I did about two dozen grab shots like that of various things and everything came out well. Definitely a keeper! (I really wanted a 200mm Micro, but they didn't make the budget.)

Great bike shots Maxxamillian and Steamie!

K10D - 30s - f/5.6 - ISO100 - 12mm

This reminds me of a night beach dive I did off of Cayman Brac....similar scene only lit by the rental van headlights. Double points for this pic...good shot and memory lane for me...

An installation at the gallery I run. There wasn't enough room to get a tripod in there so it was shot handheld at 1/4 sec and ISO1600. I'm kind of surprised it turned out as sharp (if you could even call it that) as it did. I just really like the color.

Amazing! Looks really nice!

Postcardy, but nice to look at.

On top of Umeda Sky-Biru 梅田スカイビル (Osaka).
I quite like the photo, but think I should probably have taken it w/o the white bars in it. And probably either symmetric or only the right half. Do you guys have any other ideas I should have done to improve the photo?
(I'll probably have the chance to go there sooner or later.)

Thanks for the bird ID . I'm not particularly a bird guy so you saved me some time paging through Roger Tory Peterson . Good luck with the new lens !

Quick shot I took of the college I go to for Film and Video.

I like the backlighting on this... it's much more interesting than the pseudo-porn star model shots, although I certainly can see why folks take their pictures... and you did them well, nice, sharp and perfectly exposed. However, this shot has some very cool dynamics going on - the only thing that seems a bit funky is the fringing on the out of focus people. But it lends itself in some sense to the style of the image...

Looks like a nice place to sink a few pints.

Thanks for the words. Ya, my Flickr activity has dramatically increased since adding the models. LOL. I tried to alleviate the fringing to no avail. I'm going to continue to work with it however.

Canon 20D, 50mm F1.8 II at F2, 1/80, ISO800

Amazing how this lens and Canon camera can handle such low light (it was through glass case in an extremely dim area ).
