Thread: Picture of the Day

........................

Sunset from Laguna Beach with the new moon and Venus hanging around.

Sage discovering the wonders of cold air at twenty months.

Best to keep'em locked up.

Maybe I should get an intervalometer too - waiting 70 minutes to figure out if you exposed and focused the shot right is a bit of a pain.

Very nice. I don't notice any masking issues.

Really like the first two. Did you bump up the saturation some, or is it really that bright green?

With so much warm dry weather, I've been getting a lot of family ski days in:

Nope, no saturation bump. I couldn't believe how green Ireland was, never seen anything like it.

Really? The sky looks way too bright-electric-blue. I'd have bet money you were pushing the saturation in those images. I have seen greens that really pop, especially with a polarizer on the lens but that color you got in the sky just looks like a big saturation bump. Interesting.

Very nice compositions!

Thanks! Probably my favorite shots from the trip, too.

Don't think I had the polarizer on that morning, either. Just a little fill light, some recovery, and luck.

Shot of my black lab in the bright white snow in the middle of the day... I blew out the snow on purpose to solo him out. I'm going to try it again this weekend, to see if I can get a solid horizontal composition.

Mt Cowen (I think...can anyone correct/confirm?) this morning

a great couple of pages we've got going on. Alex, that shot killed it. Supermodel, I like the breaking wave, I'd be interested in seeing a pano crop getting rid of that little line of water on the bottom right and some of the bright sky. The sand castles are rad.
