Category: Outdoor Photographer: Scott Thomas Photo: “Marymere Falls” The smooth waterfall splits the photo in two, with the opposing sides well balanced against each other. There's a lot of great detail to feed the eye as it flows through the scene. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: fiore_lla4ever
Category: Outdoor Photographer: fiore_lla4ever Photo: “Non si può rinchiudere il cielo” Star trails around the north star with an interesting foreground catches me every time. I love the way these photos show the passage of time, the rotation of the earth, and the patience of the photographer to set up, shoot, and edit. These are not for the casual snap shooter.

Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Andrew Slater Photo: “Sand Access” Picture postcard perfect! The light and composition are spot on, and the sole figure walking down the shoreline is well placed to add both a visual point of interest, but also to bring the scene alive.

Photographer of the Day: Jim Denham
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Jim Denham Photo: “SURPRISES FALLING” I love long exposure waterfalls where you can see through the surface of the water as it adds such depth (pun intended) to the photo. There's so much great detail for the eye to wander through the photo, and the low light adds a cool feeling of being deep within the forest. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Cottage Days
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Cottage Days Photo: “bashful & cute black bear cub” Excellent detail and great expression on the cub are what caught my eye on this photo. It may have been taken at a wildlife sanctuary, but the way it was composed doesn't give anything about its surroundings away. The way it appears to be peeking around the tree gives it a playful feeling, which is well suited for the cub. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group. Join the group and share your … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Cottage Days
Photographer of the Day: Amaurie Ramirez
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Amaurie Ramirez Photo: “Hraunfossar Magic” I'm a sucker for photos of Iceland as it has long been on my bucket list, but this one stopped me in my tracks. The falling water is surely spectacular, but adding in both the foreground elements of grass and the stunning night sky just takes it all to another level. Iceland is truly a world of its own.

Photographer of the Day: Cinzio Farinelli
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Cinzio Farinelli Photo: “le langhe” This photo is a great example of what happens when great light and great angles come together in front of a photographer with an eye to capture it. The way the light hits the fence that splits the photo in two is simply perfect. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Phil Campbell
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Phil Campbell Photo: “All in a Row” Simplicity and tranquility. I love the line formed by the family, with the symmetry of the adult geese at the front and back of the line. The mist in the air helps to separate the geese from the background, as well as add another element of interest to the scene. The gentle touch of light across the necks of the goslings is the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Portrait Tips: The sneaky secret of white balance
White balance is always trying to pull a fast one on you and sneak by with the wrong color in your photographs. Here's the case in point, today: It's a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, so you set the white balance to Daylight, which is just what the camera manufacturer advises you to do. But then you end up with a picture like this that has significantly too much blue in the skin tones. What the heck? Shade is sneaky The trouble is that although the subject is standing in the sun, the light shining on her face is actually coming from … [Read more...] about Portrait Tips: The sneaky secret of white balance
Photographer of the Day: Joe_r
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Joe_r Photo: “White Rocks View” I've always been curious about infrared photography, but have yet to give it a try. It is photos like this that always pique my interest. I love the colors and the otherworldly feel it provides. Aside from the infrared aspect, I really love the composition and the view off into the distance. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Donna Martin
Category: Nature Photographer: Donna Martin Photo: “Beautiful Cascade” Ah, time for a break by a cool and refreshing stream. Just looking at it makes me thirsty! I love the use of a slow shutter to smooth out the water, and make it appear even more tranquil. The brown warmth of the ledge under the water provides a nice contrast.

Category: Wildlife Photographer: Christian Meermann "Northern Carmine Bee-eater #2" An amazing portrait of this bird.

Photographer of the Day: Mayank Bhatnagar
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Mayank Bhatnagar "Untitled" I love the serenity and simplicity of this photo.

Photographer of the Day: Francine Savoie-Jansson
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Francine Savoie-Jansson "Great Grey Owl, Hearst, Ontario," Those eyes! Photographing a Great Grey Owl has been on my bucket list for a long time. Congrats to Francine for getting to experience one of these majestic birds in person. The intensity in those eyes is what brought me up short when seeing this photo the first time, and it has not lost its power since. Nice job of separating the subject from the very busy background, which could have reduced the impact of the photo. Instead, the surrounding … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Francine Savoie-Jansson
Photographer of the Day: Joe R
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Joe R "Zebra Longwing" I love the fragile beauty of butterflies. Joe did a fantastic job of isolating the Zebra Longwing from the background, while simultaneously catching it in action and having just the right parts in sharp focus. The shock of yellow flower adds visual interest, and leads the eye into the photo, and up to the butterfly. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Andrew Slater "Atwater Ice Bridge" The colors are amazing, but the contrast between the icy textures and smooth water is what keeps me looking into this photo. What made me choose this photo though was the excellent composition formed by the icy arch, the sweep of water underneath, and how it draws the eye into the water, under the bridge and out to sea toward the sun. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing with our group. Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Photographer of the Day: Thibault Poriel
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Thibault Poriel "Petit Oasis" Changing your perspective and seeing the world from a new angle is a great way to create a photo with impact. This type of birds-eye view is the most compelling part of drone photography to me. Just seeing from a new angle is not enough, you still need to create a composition that makes people pause. I think Thibault has done a great job of that here. The blue of the water immediately catches the eye, and provides great contrast against the yellows, reds, and greens … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Thibault Poriel

Photographer of the Day: Richard Hurst
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Richard Hurst "Fence" I love the abstract nature of this photograph! This falls into the category of photos I wish I took. From the "S" curve of the fence snaking up the hill to the contrast of fence against the snow, I just love everything about it. This is a photo I would love to see printed up large for more people to enjoy. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here.

Photographer of the Day: RM Parker
Category: Outdoors Photographer: RM Parker "Helvellyn Morning" It doesn't always work to include the sun in a photo, but I really like it in this photo. Perhaps it just feels right within the context of the scene, because when you ascend to the mountain top you're right up there with the sun. It also works with the contrasty light falling on the cairn, the rocks, and the peaks fading into the distance. It just conjures the feeling of being above the tree line with nothing to protect you from the harsh light shining down. Thanks for … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: RM Parker
