Picture of the day...

[VictorM]

ever herd of resizing?!

I don't think he could, he'd have to contact NASA

Probably obeygiant didn't realize this forum is for posting our own photos (not those of others). In any case I did like it, as I used to do prime-focus astrophotogaphy (through telescopes) so it brings back memories.

The ridge was long, the light diffuse. I climbed a big rock and looked down.

Wow. I love the tone of this one. Well done sir.

Thanks! Wish I had taken some of the pics in the link, especially Liyu Lake! Taroko is located just north of Hualien on the eastern (rugged mountainous) side of Taiwan. It's a different world on the eastern side.

Nice spot/picture. It's a marble canyon? I think I read about that place when researching places to teach. I almost went to Taiwan.

Photo taken last night of a semi-big band called "Cog" that played at my uni. I got right in front of the stage because I take photographs for the uni.

It's a marble canyon?

Yes correct! You can see the marble in the overlook picture (thumbnail). The link I posted provides additional information about the geology of the canyon. A Google search on keyword "taroko" turns up a lot of hits as well.

A word about your Lichen Rock... I would expect the rock itself to be colorful if it's covered with lichen. Although the B&W picture is pleasing, would the color version have been more so?

That is a awsome shot!

where you on the coast?

Thanks.

My usual spot is at Paradise Beach Park in Indialantic, FL. It was either there, or at the boardwalk... surfed both this week.

I like the way the tops of the buildings play off the mountain range (peaks). Where is this photo taken?

Great shot Abstract! B&W fit it perfectly.

I just got my first roll of film taken with my Canon FT QL 35mm back today. I'm amazed with the results...just wish I had used some ISO 100 or 200 instead of the 400 I had.

EDIT TO ADD: ^^Oh thanks for that. I like the clouds in your photo. I actual have a general love for interesting clouds.

The 2nd bee photo I'm posting at the botanic gardens near my home on Oct 10th, 2006.

Thanks! I took it this summer in a small town in the Alps called Heiligenblut.

Seenew, I love your shouty portrait. Was it taken upside down, just out of interest?

Here's one I took last weekend — it's not the best technically, but I loved the look of this guy shooting away at an arcade while his baby looked on.

Hey,

Just thought i'd post this, from a recent holiday in Gran Canaria.

Not too clear but i kinda like it anyway, really need to get round to cropping that bottom bit off though!


Edit: cropped the 'bottom' and updated.

A word about your Lichen Rock... I would expect the rock itself to be colorful if it's covered with lichen. Although the B&W picture is pleasing, would the color version have been more so?

Actually, the lichen on that rock is grey, so... I think maybe the shot is more about texture and pattern, etc. Sometimes a picture is more evocative if something is left to the imagination.

Also, I've got a color shot from the same location (sans lichen) in the works, so...maybe I'll post it soon.
