Photo of the Day (09/01/08)

Although this photo doesn’t have any scenery or people, for some reason it screams “vacation!” It’s the colors and the way the light has been captured that the first words that come to my mind are “happy”, “sun”, and “fiesta”. Also, I was 100% sure that this photo was taken either in Jamaica or in Brazil — but nope, it was taken by user LadyExpat in Kota Kinabalu, capital of Sabah, a state in Malaysia.

Sometimes all you need for a really interesting photo is just a change of perspective. That’s what I liked about this image from Flickr user larixk. Instead of shooting this abstract sculpture head on, it looks like we’re directly underneath it, looking up at the sky. Each of the metallic spheres also offers us a faint reflection of the scene behind, providing further intrigue. It almost looks like a model of a giant 3-D chemical compound at a science museum.

Have any travel photos you’ve taken of cool sculptures? Why not share them with our readers here on Gadling? Just add it to our Flickr pool and we just might choose it as our Photo of the Day.

I came to a depressing conclusion the other night: summer is almost over and that means that soon we will return to extended dark evening hours. I do love long summer nights when the sun sets late, but this photo was a good reminder of just how great evening shots can be. Big Ben stands almost secondary to the car lights that whiz by in this wonderful shot by fiznatty.

This photo, from konakoka, shows the Kapoho Reef Pools off the coast of Hawaii. According to the photographer, the water in these pools is heated by nearby volcanoes and the pools contain up to eight types of coral. The colors and clarity of this photo are really impressive.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Damiel who captured this picture in front of Notre Dame, in Paris. Damiel has a great collection of pictures from his trip there last week. He really did capture much of the city in perfect clarity. Nice job!

I’m always a sucker for a narrow depth of field, which brings out the subject in the photo in detail. This picture is a good example of this technique.
