Photo Of The Day: Eleuthera

by Alex Robertson Textor on

Eleuthera is a long slender snake of an island, about 110 miles long and an average of two miles wide. It has an embarrassment of beaches, which are notable not just for their number but also for their variety: a long pale strand here; a deep beach backed by reeds there; pretty pink sands elsewhere.

Flickr user trishhartmann captured this particularly dramatic Eleuthera beach, Tippy’s Beach near Governor’s Harbour, in June of this year. The clouds, the milky green waters, and the perfect sand all contribute to making this image especially compelling.

Photo Of The Day: Meanwhile On Muni

by Meg Nesterov on


Whether you are traveling in an exotic city, or just commuting to work, public transportation is always a rich source of photography subjects. Flickr user (and PotD favorite) davitydave is a frequent photographer on San Francisco‘s Muni, adding his favorite shots to his Flickr page with the title “Meanwhile on Muni.” This shot particularly captures the range of human expression, from suspicion to sleep.

Photo Of The Day: Summer Afternoon

by Jessica Marati on

As the leaves turn to orange, then red, then brown, before disappearing entirely, memories of lazy summer days tend to slip further and further away. Today’s Photo of the Day, taken by Flickr user Trish Hartmann in Plön, Germany, captures the essence of late summer perfectly. The foliage is bright green, and the water reflects the sunlight. You’ll want to keep this shot on file for the depths of winter.

Photo Of The Day: A Monk In Bhutan

by Chris Owen on

This Photo of the Day, titled “A Monk in Bhutan,” comes from Gadling Flickr pool member arunchs who tells us:

“I photographed this monk at an institution in Paro, Bhutan.

I probably had no more than few seconds to capture his posture and his slightly inquisitive expression. I framed and shot this real quickly.

It was evening time well after sunset, and there was very little light. I was shooting with Auto ISO and wasn’t sure if I had a clear image. The ISO for the photograph showed 3200, which made me wonder if the image is all grainy. I quickly zoomed in and checked and was very surprised with the outcome. The photograph is easily good enough to make an 8×12 print, perhaps even larger.”

Photo Of The Day: BART Blur

by Alex Robertson Textor on

The blur of public transportation is an atmospheric, if possibly overplayed, representation of travel itself. This particular blur, of a BART train and station, owes much to the yellow floor safety line, which grounds the image.

This blur was snapped by Flickr user kiddie1997. For me, it prompts memories of living in San Francisco, an association I was feeling particularly keenly today to begin with thanks to the slow, insistent rain outside, so reminiscent of a San Francisco winter.
