This shot from flickr user Theodore Scott was taken in beautiful Rhossili, Wales, a town which Wikipedia tells me derives its name from the Welsh word for moorland, “rhos.” Use that fact tonight to woo women and impress your friends.

Some of the best shots come with an unintended feature. In this case, Adam Baker ‘painted’ the inside of his tent with light during a 3 minute long exposure shot, but he didn’t realize that he’d show up as well. It’s also interesting to see just how far the stars move over a 3 minute period.
I think it adds more to the story that this picture tells. It’s as if he’s setting up the tent after a long hike into the Big Bed National Park. These kind of shots take patience and a lot of experimenting, but the results really stand out.
Way to go, Adam.

Here’s to hoping that this shot by Moody75 will bring me good luck. Actually, by the time you see this, dear Gadling readers, I may or may not have made it to Amsterdam in time to see canals such as this one. If it is not on time, I won’t be able to take my daughter to Anne Frank’s house or to the pancake place I want to return to. Instead, we will stay at the airport so we won’t miss our connection to Copenhagen.
When I was looking for my Photo of the Day choice, I zeroed in on Amsterdam since that is where I am hoping to be on this very day. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to be positive. Now, here is the oddest coincidence. Moody75 posted this exactly two years ago on December 3. Notice today’s date? December 3. This shot is exactly what I’m hoping we will see. Fingers crossed.
Send your photos to us at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool. Perhaps, one of your shots will bring us good luck.
“Oh run run run so you don’t fall in!” is what I’d be saying if I was watching this heron doing what it’s doing above. Such a great shot of the bird (known to be a “wading bird”) that looks like it’s walking on water, and has to walk really fast to make it to the other side without falling in!
Taken by flickr user LadyExpat in Daejeon in South Korea, it’s certainly a hard moment to catch so well.
Have any pictures capturing the beauty of animals in their natural habitat? Add them to our Gadling photo pool on Flickr and we might just pick it as our Photo of the Day.
Flickr user jrodmanjr titled this image of San Francisco’s famous prison “Escape from Alcatraz.” I happen to like the play on words, almost as much as I like the perspective of this shot. Any time you’re taking a photo of a famous landmark, it’s fun to try framing it with some nearby objects to add some additional depth and personality. In this case, the chain link fence adds a playful, geometric aspect to the shot, forcing you to give it a second look. Well done!
Do you have any panoramic photos from San Francisco? Or maybe some candid shots from Sweden? Why not share them with our readers at Gadling by adding them to our pool on Flickr? We might just choose one as our Photo of the Day.
