Photo of the day September 2014

[themumu]

Have been away for a few weeks, enjoying the sun and the ocean in the Azores. I will probably be spamming you with photos of the ocean, the green fields, cows, flowers, and maybe a bit of underwater stuff (those sucked photographically, but I don't exactly have very high standards). I will also be a temporary unofficial promoter of the Azores islands, and suggest you all to consider them for your next summer holiday. It's a hidden gem, but easily accessible from either side of the Atlantic.


Outskirts of Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, Açores.

Not sure I'd have got my camera out in front of these two gents. Surprised you didn't get robbed!

That is a gorgeous image and would be an absolute cracker to play with in B&W, even just using the simple B&W colour controls within Aperture or Lightroom would do some cool things to that green of the seaweed! Well done, Melizard.

Thank you! I haven't had much time to play around yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I will be posting Iceland photos for awhile, I took 23 GB in three weeks (is that a lot?).

Here is a shot of the geysir geothermal field:

I really like that effect you are applying in post process. Nice combination of added warmth. Kind of like looking at the scene through a pint glass of beer...

Beer goggles? But yes I agree its a nice effect.

Great photo. My favourite time is when practical meets ambient. Sadly I never seem to be out with my camera when it happens anymore.

Great shot. Real atmosphere and mood to it!

Two guys I have met have setup a little company and asked me to take some simple shots that they can use for interviews with blogs and other things.

Got a couple to post but this was one of the outtakes.

Pine Tree Arch ... This one was kinda a surprise as it's not one of the more famous formations . It's on an easy side trail off the one leading to the arch I posted yesterday , but nobody seems to go there . Maybe 2 or 3 folks when I was there while there was a stream of folks heading to Landscape Arch . Gotta use a real wide lens (like 10mm for APC or 16-17 for a FF) if you want to get the whole thing in as there's a cliff , plus shadows behind where I was standing . I suspect the whole thing's in the shadows as the afternoon progresses

I think there's potential from some great stop motion there!
