Photo of the Day (11.02.08)

I really like the lighting effects in this lighthouse photo by Flickr user insEyedout. According to the tags it was taken at sunrise at the Ponce de Leon Inlet in Florida, and those first rays of light are starting to peek over the horizon. Meanwhile it’s still dark at the top and in the foreground, creating some interesting silhouettes in the palm trees and in the shadows on the fence and lighthouse. Finally, I’m most impressed because this photo was taken at sunrise, not sunset. That’s dedication to the craft! Nice work.

Have any photos you’d like to share wth our Gadling readers? Why not upload them to our Gadling pool on Flickr? It might end up as our Photo of the Day.

I’m in Glacier National Park this weekend, so this photo taken by Don&Colleen is fitting. I love the mountains in the background and their distinct outline against the sky and clouds. Fortunately, I chose this one before taking off, meaning that today I get to fully enjoy the beauty captured in the photo –without having to go online — and maybe even take some of my own!

I dug way back into the Flickr pool for this beautiful shot, taken high over the salt pans in southern San Francisco Bay. Since it’s Halloween, I wanted to use a ghost-related picture as Photo of the Day, and I sort of succeeded, I guess. In the exact center of the photo, according to the photographer webmink, is the ghost town of Drawbridge, California. Sca-a-a-a-ry!

I was rather excited to see this in our Flickr Gadling group as a Photo of the Day entry. The mud flats reminds me of the summer days in Anchorage, Alaska when we’d head out “mud-sliding.” At the end of the day we were completely covered in mud. Ahh, good times.

This is also one of the first entries we’ve received taken with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The LX3 is a pocket camera that’s getting the attention of some professional photographers. Rather than chasing megapixles, Panasonic has chosen to concentrate on the lens and chip size. So the low light capabilities with the f2.0 wide angle (24mm) lens stands out from the typical consumer digital camera.

Even so, it’s not easy to capture such a spectacular shot as this one of the beaches in Wales. He really pulled the most out of his camera, shooting this picture with a 60 second exposure. I’ve already set the full size version as my wallpaper.

Are you a Flickr user who’d like to share a travel related picture or two for our consideration? Submit it to Gadling’s Flickr group right now! We just might use it for our Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day (10-29-08)

This time of year in Ohio, it’s hard not to trip over a pumpkin. They march up people’s porch steps. They perch on hay bales in front of grocery stores, and they fill tables at roadside fruit stands. Some folks sell pumpkins as fundraisers. Heading to a farm to pick a pumpkin from a field is a favorite fall activity in this blocky sliver of the world.

When I saw Brian Brook’s photo of this pumpkin field, the eye-popping colors reminded me of two Saturdays ago when my son had an impulse to go bowling with pumpkins when we meandered through a similar field. I did stop him.

And there was the pumpkin patch last Saturday at Young’s Jersey Dairy near Yellow Springs, Ohio where we picked up our fifth pumpkin. We are not planning on getting a sixth. If we do, I know where to find one.

If you have any photos with eye-popping colors, send them our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool to be considered for the Photo of the Day.
