Photo of the Day!

[Levina de Ruijter]

I had in mind to make this a competition and post the winners on our social media, but we don't have enough members yet to make that work. Hopefully in future.

However, there is nothing stopping us from posting our photos of the day without it being a competition. So let's do that then and see how it goes.

The rules are:

1. Post just one photo a day
2. The image may be your photo of the day from today, but can also be your photo of the day from any time before (I don't want to exclude people who, for various reasons, aren't active shooters at the moment)
3. The subject can be anything as long as it is safe for family and work

That's it. I think.

So let's see your Photo of the Day!

That's a smart looking train. I loved to travel by train. I would go from Amsterdam to the south of France. Sleep in the train. It was wonderful, I loved it.

A very old shot taken at a museum of the past in NE England

a museum of the past

I like how you worded this: a museum of the past. Your bus is definitely a design of the past and really nice. Modern buses - trains too - are very streamlined, less wind resistance I guess, but they did lose something along the way.

Yes, but I guess they were real bone-shakers

Yes, but I guess they were real bone-shakers

I was thinking the exact same thing! Yes, the bus looks great, but I wouldn't want to sit in it for say, an hour or so. Well, not while it was moving that is...

This is today's photo of the day. Taken a long time ago. I was riding my bike, on my way to shoot Great crested grebes when along the canal I see a heron catching a big fish. I jump off my bike, grab my gear and started shooting. And shots were great. It's still a favourite of mine. This was still early on in the hobby and it was not just the photo of the day but of the year for me! (Even though the head turn was not ideal of course... )

Yes, it came! Isn't it wonderful, Martin?
I only shot some birds flying by my home, but first impressions are very good. I'm happy I decided to finally do it.
I have just downloaded the files to my Mac. Maybe I have a mallard or a wood pigeon to share later in this thread!

No, you can't. You already posted your photo of the day, the heron with the big fish!

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

No, you can't. You already posted your photo of the day, the heron with the big fish!

Oh, I did!

Well, that's it then from me in this thread, for today...

How long is a day?

How long is a day?

24 hours.

No, we are in different time zones. My day starts when your day ends. In other words, for this thread a day is the day of the time zone we happen to be in.

From my morning till my night is a day for me.
From your morning till your night is a day for you.

What I meant was- do we just keep adding a photo each day?

Oh! Yes! Sorry. We can add one photo each day.
