Photo of the Day (05.24.08)

I love what this photo captures! It reminds me of my first trip to Paris: I was 14 and all I remember from being in the Louvre was the hoard of tourists standing in front of the Mona Lisa practically elbowing and shoving each other just to get a photo of the famed painting. Matt Coats’ title for this photo cracks me up too “Take a picture and enjoy it later, we’ve got things to see.”

Photo of the Day (05.23.08)

This photo from localsurfer— how appropriate– was taken in Tanzania and according to the photographer, it was created by using a “grad filter and fill in flash.” Whatever that means.

Anyway, what a stunning photo.

Today’s POTD is from Bernard-SD who took this while in Jamaica. I’m a sucker for sunset shots, but this one reigns as my current favorite. Here’s to all those out there who bring their cameras to the beach instead of a book.

Photo of the Day (5-21-08)

Although this shot by lecercle was taken in Bangalore, India, I see it as a tribute to all the people who rescue people worldwide–some quietly when no one is looking, and others who just happen to be there when the shutter opens, even though they probably don’t even know it.

If you’ve captured a remarkable moment in the world, send it to Gadling’s Flickr photo pool and it might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.

Photo of the Day (5.20.2008)


Someone once told me that the sign of a good writer was the ability to make something mundane sound interesting. I think the same goes for photography — it’s the ability to see ordinary things in an extraordinary way, coupled with the ability to capture that view in your lens.

That’s what I like about this photo of a birch tree by Roberta Attalla. When was the last time you looked at a birch tree up close? My favourite aspect of this photo is the spectacular depth of field.
