Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Sierra Sky” by Garry Everett. Location: Big Alkali Lake, California

“Sunset at Big Alkali Lake near Mammoth Lakes, last light illuminating one of the Sierra peaks with very colorful clouds,” explained Everett. “I used a 3-stop graduated ND filter to even out the lighting and to ensure I kept the dramatic cloud color; the shot was made a little more challenging due to the high wind.”

Photo of the Day is chosen from various OP galleries, including Assignments, Your Favorite Places and the OP Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are featured on the OP website homepage and several images from the Assignment Gallery are picked to be featured in The Best Of Assignments section in the print magazine. To get your photos in the running, all you have to do is submit them.
