Photo of the Day (10.3.08)


This shot, from flickr user Styggiti, was taken in Saint-Emilion, France, at the Collegiate Church. (See a larger version here.) The surrealistic effect of the photo, in case you were wondering, was created using an image processing technique called tone mapping, which I won’t even pretend to understand. You can learn about it here though.

Photo of the Day (10.02.08)

Flickr user sgoralnick submitted this amazing shot of a few of his friends enjoying the sunrise at a New York beach on Long Island.

Those who live by the rule that says you can’t shoot into the sun would be missing out on these kind of shots. Then again, they also wouldn’t be the type out skinny dipping on a cool New York fall morning.

Way to go sgoralnick!

Photo of the Day (10-1-08)

A bit windy isn’t it? This shot by Lola Akinmade in Spain captures the image of the flying coat perfectly. It almost looks like there are imaginary wires pulling it upwards. Can’t you feel the struggle to walk as the wind presses against this man’s face and whips through his hair? The stillness of the background in contrast to the man’s movement adds to the action. This is a right place at the right moment kind of shot–a perfect click of the shutter.

If you’ve taken some pictures with contrast, or just about anything of interest, send it our way at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool for consideration as a Photo of the Day pick.

Photo of the Day (09.30.08)

Much as we don’t want to admit it, summer is officially over and fall is here. This Photo of the Day was taken in Washington DC, where I spent part of my Monday evening, and where I could see signs of the season changing all around me. At least the best part of autumn, my favorite season, is still ahead of us.

Flickr user ohad* took this picture at the National Zoo in DC.

Photo of the Day (9/29/08)

I love the perspective of this photo taken by Flickr user lecercle, in Palolem Beach in South Goa. It’s amazing how your eye can define the way other people see an image; it’s such photos that make me want to take up photography more seriously. The silhouettes of the cows, the water, and the sky of this photo, all complement each other wonderfully.
