Photo Of The Day

The Tower of Babel

It's not a photo, but you still get the picture.

So why did you post it in the Photo thread?

Because I imagine it as a photo.

It's a drawing from someones imagination though. Hardly accurate enough to be thought of as a photo.

El Capitan?

~~ No! ~~ :o

This is LFGSS, my friend, where certain people call cider 'beer'.

Public Sleepers - Detroit

I've a friend with an entire FB album full of public sleeping. Mostly crappy phone pics but some entertaining ones in there. It's a fun idea.

I like it. One of my favourite photos I have taken is this happy couple, Dublin, about 10am [http://28fixed.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/drunk.jpg

     Look closely at the top and bottom photos and you might think  you’re looking at a digitally altered scene, but you aren’t. Those  aren’t ants, they’re real people on a real mountain and no Photoshop  skillz or time-lapse photography were involved in putting them on that  dramatic peak.

You’re looking at an awesome image of 28 individual climbers holding symmetrical poses while scaling a near-vertical mountain in the Italian Alps. Located 3,000ft above sea level on the border between Italy and Switzerland and known both as ‘Ago del Torrone’ and ‘Cleopatra’s Needle’, it took five hours of climbing and preparation in freezing temperatures for the team to achieve this incredible shot.
The dramatic photo was taken by Swiss photographer Robert Bösch for Mammut, a Swiss extreme sports company:
[INDENT]Robert Bösch, 58, said: ‘It took several months of organisation and I am really happy with the results. It took five hours to climb and required plenty of preparation. There was a lot of pressure but luckily I was working with very good guides and that was the key. The resulting image is exactly what we wanted. It can be seen that it is individual people on natural rocks. This picture is real and alive.’[/INDENT] We recommend visiting Dailymail.co.uk to view larger versions of these fantastic photos.

love it, had to look the guy up: Harry Gruyaert

was out for a MTB ride today, saw some interesting looking mushrooms, only had my phone, so forgive the shitty quality.
took loads of snaps, but most ended up being out of focus, or just plain bad, off the phone.

It is a photograph of a painting.

I bet it's really a painting of a photograph of a painting.

3rd last seems a little forced (the art, not the shot) but the rest are fantastic!

Coincidentally, maybe, that photo is being displayed in an exhibition that's just started at Somerset House - http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/henri-cartier-bresson-a-question-of-colour
