Photo Of The Day 8/16/2012
Daybreak's Vision by Brad Goldpaint
Brad Goldpaint submitted this to the OP B&W Cover Assignment. To date it’s the most popular Assignment on the website. Check out the full gallery…there are over 1400 submissions and the overall caliber of the work is excellent. Brad Goldpaint took this photo in the Mammoth Lakes area of California. He writes, “Sunrise at my favorite alpine lake in the Sierra Nevada, within the Ansel Adams Wilderness, along the John Muir Trail.” It’s a beautiful part of the world and I’m looking forward to being up there for some sunrise photography myself.
You can see all of the submissions and check out all of the other Assignment galleries here. I select a Photo Of The Day everyday. Images come from the OP Galleries like Your Favorite Places, Assignments and the contest galleries. You can see more of my Photo Of The Day selections on the OP Blog.
