Photo of the Day (9.21.08)

Doesn’t this image have a great personality to it? Flickr user a31sierra caught this shot of two girls while traveling in Lesotho. Photo portraits can make for extremely rich material for any traveling photographer.

I especially like the expressions on their faces. Both girls manage to maintain a shy body language, but you can still catch the faint smiles that peek out just under the surface of their gaze. The bare brick wall behind the girls further emphasizes their dominance in the photo frame. It also makes a nice complement to Abha’s recent Photo of the Day entry.

Have any great travel photos to share with our readers? Why not post them to our Gadling pool on Flickr? We might just pick it as our Photo of the Day.

Today’s photo comes from Rubys Host, taken just at sunset on Coney Island. I love how the sun is framed right between the two people walking down the boardwalk. Kind of makes you want to go on an evening roller coaster ride doesn’t it?

This shot from arex was taken in Taiwan’s Shi-lin night market. Ahh, I can almost smell the garlic-filled sausage sizzling on the grill, and I can almost hear the white noise of a language I’ll never understand.

Anyone have a free plane ticket to Asia?

Photo of the Day (9/18/08)

Today’s photo of the day comes from Flickr user pirano who captured this picture, titled Fist and Rose in Oslo, Norway. You might think the sculptor was trying to make a political statement, but from the accounts in the comments of this site, he apparently never intended for it to be political.

Pirano did a nice job of using the sun to highlight the sculpture, giving it a fantastic glowing cast. Nice job, pirano!

Photo of the Day – (9-17-08)

The perspective here is alluring. This is not a bridge to nowhere, but a dock that leads out to the Dead Sea in Israel. I love how the distant shore looks like a painting, and the dock looks as if it is part of another photograph that was cut out and placed on a separate photo of the water. Very cool. Very artsy.
