It's September on the International Dateline. :)

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.

Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

Policies

*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.

*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.

*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.

*Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.


Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.

How is it September already??! This is the last one from the set of beach Bank Holiday weekend shots, taken as the cove comes around to close in the bay.

Yeah, it's the classic UK thing for me of endless winter and a 2 month summer. Oh well, the clocks will be changing soon - then it will really feel like the year has gone!

I shot this photo a few years ago when my wife gifted me a flight on board a B-17. We woke that morning to torrential rain. It poured our entire way to the airport. It was raining so hard when we arrived that they weren't certain if they would be allowed to fly the plane that day. About 60 minutes later the storm broke up. While waiting for the flight they let me climb around inside the B-17. I shot this in the cockpit. Unfortunately, because of the rain and humidity, the windows were completely fogged over. So I ended up compositing another shot into the windshield of the aircraft. I was surprised how much the plane leaked inside. There was water everywhere from the rainstorm. The pilots said that is just how those old planes are like. If you look carefully you can see some water on the center console.

Birthday cake anyone?

I'm a fairly decent (aka pretty good) baker. A so-so cake decorator (I stick with relatively easy things which ups my odds). And a wretched food photographer. o_O Anyway, my husband turned 50 yesterday.

I'd have never guessed it was a composite job. Nice work. Nice gift as well.

Great shot! More aviation photos....helicopters would be appreciated:). Going to have to get my wife to read this, I'd like a ride in a glider. Please let your wife know that she done good, real good. Who says it's hard to shop for guys. You know, that and Mollyc's cake....purrrrrrrfect.
