Photo(s) of the Day (07.20.08)



Full disclosure: I know Flickr user sgoralnick, who uploaded this sweet composite image of the Pulaski Drawbridge in between Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But you know what? Her novel creation method for this shot deserves some recognition. This photo uses a technique called panography, basically a Photoshop trick that stitches together many different shots of a single image into one giant whole.

It's a novel way to think of taking a photo, isn't it? But that aside, I also think it ends up looking wicked cool. And sometimes, that's all that matters.

Have any panography shots you want to share with our Gadling readers? Or even a simple panorama? Add it to the Gadling photo pool on Flickr and it just might get chosen as our Photo of the Day.

I love maps and this photo of Paris taken by ultraclay! looks exactly like one. The angles and lines in this shot are well thought out and make for an excellent composition. Plus it's rare that we see Paris this way; it's nice to have a different view of the city than the Eiffel Tower or glass pyramid at the Louvre.

Today's photo of the day comes from Emerald2810, a new contributor to the Gadling Flickr Pool. The picture is called "Downtown Daisies!"

He lives in Ireland and captured this with a Canon G9 camera. I'm so impressed with the angle he chose that I'm about to run out and take a few shots of some flowers right now!

Way to go, Edmond!

Photo of the Day (7-16-08)

I'm a fan of funky, distinctive signs. Since I'm in Montana at the moment--and Montana is a land of meat and funky signs, this sign caught my attention.

Ultraclay! snapped this photo in Nashville,Tennessee, however. The hint of of Nashville behind the sign evokes the sense that this is a street for meandering and strolling. Any place that has period lamp posts shows some initiative. Jack's Bar-B-Que won 3 Gold Medals at the 2008 BBQ Expo.

Photo of the Day (07/15/08)



Today's photo comes from Buck Forester, who has an astonishing number of beautiful photos in our online Flickr pool.

In continuing my theme of Photos of the Day, I'm picking photos that accurately portray how I feel at the time of writing. Today, that's tired.

Buck's photo brings me back to my days in my small two man tent in Montana, and Idaho, traveling across the North and camping all of the way. His long exposure reflects one of the best things about camping: looking up at the stars in the middle of the night and really connecting with nature. I miss being out in the back country, alone in the woods.

Photo of the Day (07/14/08)

I am in Guatemala today and this picture reminds me of how women carry fruit on their heads up here. (I tried it and it is not easy.)

Granted, none of the arrangements here were quite so fancy.

Danner00 took this picture in Bali. The women look so graceful, dressed in the same color scheme as the fruit.

Photo of the Day (07.13.08)



Doesn't this look blissful? Flickr user Bernard-SD took this shot at Yosemite National Park. Summer is one of the best but also the most crowded times at our country's national parks, so it's refreshing to see a great nature shot with nary a human to clutter the view.

Bernard's photo is great not only for the scenery but also because it's nicely framed. I like how the lone hiking path cuts across the foreground, winding off into unknown. The tree on the right is also a nice counterpoint to the gorgeous waterfall on the upper left. Just imagine yourself hiking down this peaceful path, the vista of the park's mountains looming in the distance.

Photo of the Day (07.12.08)


After a lot of red, white and blue painted faces last weekend it's refreshing to see the bright colors from the other side of the Pacific. Ultraclay! managed to get a very close-up shot of this decorated Harajuku girl in Japan. The most intense part of this picture are her eyes; she must be wearing special contacts. Makes me wonder if she did her make-up for a special occasion or just an afternoon out on the town?

Photo of the day (7/10/08)



Here's a photo from Minuano12 that just might inspire those who are suffering in the sweltering heat this July to take a dip. It cools me off just looking at it. The shot, titled Caida con burbujas was apparently taken in Spain just two days ago.

Nice job, Minuano12!

Photo of the Day (7-09-98)

There is an ambiguous aspect of this photo that has me pondering. Is the statue a painting as well? She looks like she is stepping into this gallery at the Russell-Cotes Museum in Bournemouth, UK where Dave and Chi took this shot. To me, this looks like the art is contemplating the art.

If you have a photo for pondering, send it our way at Gadling's Flickr photo pool. It might be a Photo of the Day.
