Photo of the Day (10.13.08)

I generally love pictures with bright colors and with shadows — I think shadows of any sort add novelty and uniqueness to the way the picture has been taken. This photo taken by flickr user bedouin77 in Tuvkhum, Mongolia, has the best of both these aspects which is why it caught my eye and kept my attention.

I’d also never heard of Tuvkhum. Googling didn’t bring out much info (can you believe it!?), but looks like it’s a region in Mongolia that is also called Tuv Aimag and Tuv Khan.

My fellow bloggers have a been on a Photo of the Day nature kick this past week, so I figured I would keep up the theme. This Sunday’s nature shot comes to us from Flickr user ben.rulesalot, who noticed these two serene specimens on his trip to the Georgia Aquarium.

As much as any photographer might be tempted to crowd the frame of their shot with as much detail as possible, I happen to like Ben’s approach here. Sometimes, “simple is better.” And even though there are no humans in this photo, there’s definitely an interesting “interaction” occurring between these two jellyfish that creates a story for the viewer to decipher. Jellyfish in love? Jellyfish protecting their turf? I’ll leave it to you to decide…

Have any jellyfish photos you want to share with our readers? Or maybe some tasty seafood jambalaya? Why not add them to our Gadling pool on Flickr? We might just pick it as our Photo of the Day.

Maybe it’s because I work for an adventure travel magazine, but I am always drawn to outdoor shots. Taking nature photos can be difficult because the scope is so large, but in this one carlhancock draws us in with the mountain’s reflection. Then again, it’s probably hard not to take a good picture in Rocky Mountain National Park, but this one manages to be a truly excellent one.

With this photo, Flickr user wetboxers (interesting name) really makes me miss Ecuador, the only place I’ve ever surfed– if you can call getting thrown off a longboard all day “surfing.” This shot was taken in the Philippines, but similar scenes can be found all over the world.

The only thing invading Omaha Beach these days is a line of thunderstorms as shot by Flickr contributor Styggiti.

It’s tempting to leave your camera home on when the weather looks less than ideal, but Styggiti managed to capture the emptiness of Omaha beach in a way that’s more thought provoking than if it were a clear day.

Way to go Styggiti.
