Photo of the Day

Photo of the Day (10-28-09)

Photo of the Day (10-28-09) I wonder if when this house was first built near Brockville, Ontario Canada, the owners realized that their home would be photographed one day as a perfect version of a haunted house. That's exactly what Bryson Gilbert did when he snapped this photo earlier this year. With ...

Photo of the Day (10.27.09)

Photo of the Day (10.27.09) Today's Photo of the Day comes from longtime contributor Alpha Tango Bravo (aka Adam Baker). I consider great portrait photos to be ones that share the personality and character of the subject - even if they happen to be complete strangers in a foreign land. Baker ...

Photo of the Day 10.26.09

Photo of the Day 10.26.09 As you've noticed, today we've featured Vintage America -- and I figure no better way to end the day than by featuring this great shot of a vintage viewfinder in Ocean City, Maryland, as shot and shared by matt coats. The data on his Flickr page states that this was taken ...

Photo of the Day (10.25.09)

Photo of the Day (10.25.09) A famous landmark need not be the subject of your travel photos. As Flickr user justin fain demonstrates in today's choice, sometimes an alternate perspective is all that's needed to make your photo shine. The wonderful texture of the binoculars, coupled with the blurry ...

Photo of the Day (10.24.09)

Photo of the Day (10.24.09) tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/24/photo-of-the-day-10-24-09/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling'; Talk about a gorgeous sunset! I must have said this before, but I'll say it again: I love Hawaii. I'm almost positive this photo's been enhanced, but I have to ...

Photo of the day (10-22-09)

Photo of the day (10-22-09) Today's photo of the day is a shot taken at Watkins Glen, NY by Peter Rivera. Peter obviously used a long exposure to highlight the flowing water-a technique perfectly suited for waterfalls. Note how it bounces off the rocks, almost like light reflecting from a mirror. ...

Photo of the Day (10-21-09)

Photo of the Day (10-21-09) There are some photographs that are the stuff from which novels are made--or if not a novel, a mighty fine short story--possibly written by Annie Proulx or Alice Monro. This stunning shot taken in Maine by justin fain is one of them. There's a moody quality to the lighting ...

Photo of the Day (10.20.09)

Photo of the Day (10.20.09) Today's beautiful Photo of the Day comes from Flickr user jrodmanjr. It's an interesting composition - the lush green hills in contrast against icy cliffs and sky, separated by a thin formation of low clouds. Having never been to Switzerland, this is exactly the scene ...

Photo of the Day 10.19.09

Photo of the Day 10.19.09 I've always loved photographs of signage, but I've rarely been able to capture an image that I liked -- it's trickier than it looks. I'm loving this shot captured by Bryson Gilbert, however -- the light and colour so perfectly convey the mood of a fun night out in Toronto. ...

Photo of the Day (10.18.09)

Photo of the Day (10.18.09) Today's Photo of the Day pick comes to us from Flickr user Walker Starling, who's provided us with a beautiful example of macro photography. The crystal-clear detail of the flower in front is contrasted with the soft focus of everything behind it, creating a beautiful ...

Photo of the Day (10.17.09)

Photo of the Day (10.17.09) I've said it several times, and I will say it again: Myanmar is a beautiful place. Go there. The Burmese people are some of the most earnest people I've met on my travels. Despite the continued political strife in the country and the devastating cyclone that swept through ...

Photo of the Day (10.16.09)

Photo of the Day (10.16.09) This gorgeous photo, from flickr user Smallix, shows a placid loch and some snow-capped mountains in the highlands of Scotland. This shot really looks like it could be an oil painting, like something the artist with the 'fro on PBS might have painted. Man, I miss ...

Photo of the day (10-15-09)

Photo of the day (10-15-09) This picture was taken near Mashobra, India by arunchs. I like how he cropped the picture to highlight the lines formed by each ridge. An amazing capture, indeed! Given the great visibility and forested mountains, this probably isn't the first image to come to mind when ...

Photo of the Day (10-14-09)

Photo of the Day (10-14-09) This photo of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco is a reminder to look at a subject from various angles in order to find that unusual shot. This building demands notice like a several-tiered wedding cake with florets, fluting and flower petals that have been hand ...

Photo of the Day (10.13.09)

Photo of the Day (10.13.09) tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/13/photo-of-the-day-10-13-09/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling'; Today's photo of the day comes from contributor ultraclay! For me, this photo brings a great deal of warmth as a reminder that not all rainy days have to be ...

Photo of the Day 10.12.09

Photo of the Day 10.12.09 I'm always impressed with a good black-and-white photo, but this one by the ubiquitous fiznatty positively took my breath away. What you're looking at here is the exhalation of a humpback whale, photographed in the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada. ...

Photo of the Day (10.11.09)

Photo of the Day (10.11.09) tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/11/photo-of-the-day-10-11-09/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling'; Truly great architecture has its own personality. The best buildings are not merely structures with walls, doors and windows. They tell you something about ...

Photo of the Day (10.10.09)

Photo of the Day (10.10.09) tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/10/photo-of-the-day-10-10-09/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling'; October is a month full of amazingly fun festivals and events, and it kicked off in Austin with the Austin City Limits Music Festival last weekend. There's ...

Photo of the Day (10.9.09)

Photo of the Day (10.9.09) I don't buy into the idea that Amsterdam is nothing more than a hedonist's paradise, but one could be forgiven for thinking that after seeing this bizarre assortment of condoms on display. Flickr user Peter Rivera took this shot, which, if I'm not mistaken, features a ...

Photo of the day (10-8-09)

Photo of the day (10-8-09) Mingthein posted this picture to our Flickr group page a few years ago, but I've only just now stumbled upon it. Karen Walrond wrote in her Gadling feature, Through the Gadling Lens, about shooting cities at twilight, and she also covered cloud and sky photography just ...
