Photo by: henrikj. Found this in the Recent Interesting section of Flickr. It’s such an awesome scenic shot, I couldn’t pass it up. I love the composition, with the body of water in the lower left flowing out into the ocean. And there’s just a hint of a sky and…
Photo by: Eirik Solheim. It’s about to get extra hot here in New Jersey for a few days, so I went looking for a nice, cool picture of winter. I found this in the “Winter” tags on Flickr. It’s a nice shot. Good example of how hard it can be…
Photo by: yangmc. I chose “Flower” today out of the popular tags on Flickr. Not really sure why. But after some lackluster photos, I came across this one. Not especially awe-inspiring, but nice and technically sound. I really love the depth of field and sharpness here. The subject (the plant…
Photo by: Simon Ellingworth. I wasn’t sure what to look for today, so I went to the popular tags and I picked “red.” Didn’t know what to expect. There was a smorgasbord of images – including flowers, cars, and people – but this first really caught my eye. Like I…
Photo by: AlanGinsberg. Found this one browsing through the “Canon” tag on Flickr. There was an odd number of car pictures in the tag, don’t know what that was about. But I thought this was a nifty portrait. The ambient is stopped down far enough that the sky is well…

Photo by: D.R.A.C.C.A.R.D.s. Found this snapshot in the recent uploads section of Flickr. In some ways, not a lot going on to attract attention – it’s basic available light, shot with a point and shoot. But I really like the composition. The wooden beams in the background create some nice…
Photo by: joviano.alves. Found this picture in the Recent Interesting section of Flickr. Amazing sunset. I blogged about a a few weeks back, but this one tops it for sure. I love the centeredness of the tree, really helps the composition. And the saturation in the sky, along with the…
Here’s a quick technique you can use in Lightroom to create a subtle effect that enhances the focus on your subject. What we’ve got here is a decent outdoor portrait on a sunny day. The model, Joel, was lit from camera right, but it can be hard to get just…
Photo by: david_shankbone. I noticed the cameraphone tag on Flickr today, and I thought I’d take a peak. I was curious if there was something good in there – since a lot of what you see taken on a camera phone is blurry and, uhh, no good. I was pleasantly…
