Photo of the Day (7.11.09)

by Brenda Yun on

Nothing is more quintessentially San Francisco than the iconic Golden Gate Bridge — and the fact that it eclipses the moon in this stunning shot by Bay Area resident ohadby makes this photo all the more breathtaking. Add the moon’s white glimmer on the water and the sparkle of city lights in the background and he’s captured night and this place in all its glory.

If you have some great travel shots you’d like to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day (03-04-08)

This photo of the Volcán Arenal in Costa Rica from ohad conjures a certain feeling of an invigorating hike on a warm, bright, summer’s day. So what if I told you it was taken in the middle of the night? Pretty unbelievable, huh? But that’s exactly when it was taken, and on the evening of the eclipse to boot. How did he do it? With some fancy camera work, a tripod and a 117-second exposure. It’s pretty amazing, really. I’m surprised at how well the colours came out. Read more about the photo here.

Total Lunar Eclipse Early Tomorrow Morning

by Justin Glow on

Early Tuesday morning will bring the second total lunar eclipse of 2007 (read our coverage and viewing guide on the previous one here). This time around, the best place to view the eclipse is on the West Coast of the United States, as well New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia. However, the eclipse will be visible in most parts of the world save for Europe and Africa — almost the exact opposite of the last total lunar eclipse.

As I mentioned in our previous coverage, if you’d like to try your hand at photographing the lunar eclipse, this guide from MrEclipse.com has everything you need. Don’t worry, Mr. Eclipse promises it is “fun and easy!” If you take some good photos, be sure and share them on the Gadling Flickr pool. Who knows, maybe it will be selected as a photo of the day.
