Photo Of The Day 8/30/2012

Great Ocean Rd by Ian Houghton

Great Ocean Rd by Ian Houghton inspired the next OP Assignment which is Summer Sunsets. This sunset photo was taken in Australia and Houghton used an ND grad filter on his Canon EOS 7D and 28-300mm lens to manage the sunset/twilight contrast.

We’ve been revamping the OP galleries. Take a look at the Assignments and the Your Favorite Placessections and you’ll see many of the cool new features. 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.
