Photo Of The Day: Lost Lake Dock

by Chris Owen on

This Photo of the Day is titled “Lost Lake Dock” and comes from Gadling Flickr pool member James Wheeler. The image was taken in Canada’s Whistler, British Columbia, using a Nikon D5000.

James captions the image: “in the summer this dock would be great for swimming but when I took this photo in November it was pretty deserted.”

To get the image we see here, James used a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens with a Nikon Polarizing Filter, along with a Sirui T-2005X Tripod with K-10x Tripod Head, then processed the image with Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Topaz Adjust.

Tips for getting featured: include the camera you used along with any other equipment or processing software that might help other photographers know more about your image.

Photo Of The Day: St. Pancras

by Alex Robertson Textor on

It’s five years this month since the Eurostar began its run from the renovated St. Pancras train station. The station remains a tour-de-force of a hub. This may be the only train station in the UK that feels truly European, and not only because it connects to the European train grid. St. Pancras is densely useable and grand, with a real buzz – like a train station of yesteryear, the sort of place you might have read about as a child. Flickr user nan palmero captures some of the station’s buzz in the above image.

Photo Of The Day: Into The Light

by Meg Nesterov on


Are these people boarding a spaceship or just exiting the subway? The rays of light make an everyday scene look ethereal. Taken in New York City by Flickr user Skylar Grant (on a roll this week with yesterday’s shot of the Williamsburg bridge) with an iPhone using Instagram, the photo uses the most of the app’s technology, filling the square frame just perfectly, with a nice balance of color saturation and contrast.

Photo Of The Day: Williamsburg Bridge

by Jessica Marati on

We often forget that Manhattan is an island. That is, until we remember the number of bridges crisscrossing the skyline to connect the New York City borough with the rest of America.

Most people are familiar with the Brooklyn Bridge and the George Washington Bridge. But my personal favorite is the Williamsburg Bridge, which connects Manhattan’s Lower East Side to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. I have spent many a late night in a cab over that bridge, and the view of the Manhattan skyline when crossing over from the Brooklyn side never fails to leave me breathless. This view, taken by Flickr user Skylar Grant from the East River waterfront, isn’t too shabby either.

Do you have any beautiful bridge photos? Upload your shots to the Gadling Flickr Pool and your image could be selected as our Photo of the Day.

Photo Of The Day: Egyptian Sphinx

by Jeremy Kressmann on

Thanksgiving is a holiday that embraces traditions. It only seemed appropriate then to close out this long holiday weekend with an image of that most-iconic of Egyptian historical landmarks: the Sphinx. This image was taken by Flickr user robert vaccaro. I like the shot’s side-profile perspective and the nice contrast of sandy rock with clean, blue sky. It’s a simple yet classic image that’s well framed and eye-catching.

Taken any great photos on your trip to Egypt? Or maybe just during your visit to Cairo, Illinois? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
