Today’s Photo of the Day is a great example of how a reflection can make a huge impact on a photo. This image was shot by Flickr-user Bud using a Pentax K-7 and an 18-135mm lens. He used a 31mm focal length and an aperture of f/11 to keep everything in focus. The overall dark tones in the image make things a bit more dramatic and emphasize the time of day, which gives it more impact. It also makes it stand out a bit from many bright landscape shots. You can see more work at Bud’s Flickr page.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from our Flickr group and, sadly, doesn’t include much in the way of EXIF data, but it does do something interesting. This is an example of a landscape photo that disregards the venerable rule of thirds and instead opts to split the frame almost exaclty in half. Some will tell you that splitting the frame is a bad idea, but this one has a lot going for it. The V created by the mountains is reflected by the water and creates leading lines drawing you directly the center of the image, which encourages you to explore the photo. The variety of textures and colors is also excellent. You can see more of the photographer’s work here. If you want your own work considered for Photo of the Day, join up with our Flickr Group!

Today’s Photo of the Day was submitted to our Flickr Group by Patrick James. It was shot on a Pentax K-5 with an 18-55mm kit lens. The F/18 aperture keeps things sharp, while the 0.8-second exposure gives the water a very dreamy quality. One of my favorite aspects of this photo is that it was shot on a kit lens. It’s very much proof that, with skill and planning, you can make a great photo on kit lenses, which usually get bashed for their quality. The inclusion of important foreground elements here helps contexutalize the image and augments the impact. If you want to see more of Patrick’s work, you can check out his Flickr page.
