This is another image you might expect to see on the front of a puzzle box being sold all over the place, and what a great one it would be. So many vibrant colors blended together in a way that only nature can accomplish.

On Monday morning a group of us raced to get to Rattlesnake point in Milton to catch the rising sun over the autumn colours. Sunrise only lasted for 10mins until it clouded over, but in that 10mins I was able to capture this image.

Photo Details: This photo was taken on October 11, 2010 in Milton, Ontario, CA, using a Nikon D300.

Image of the Day 2-14-12 Violence in Nature

All I can say is WOW! What an amazing long exposure shot of a thunderstorm on the other side of Lake Ontario. It is just simply stunning how beautiful something so violent in nature can actually be.

A regular night on the dock. With the great company of Bob and Val, We watched the sun set, then waited and waited. Then all of a sudden thunder and lightening storms came from all directions. We barely escaped off the dock when a fast storm with hurricane/tornado winds came. If we had waited an extra 20 seconds we would have be stuck on the dock and unable to see our way back due to the heavy downpour and winds.

This week I would like to introduce you all to John A. Ryan a photographer from Ontario, Canada. He has thousands of great images on Flickr. I hope you enjoy the images I choose of his to share. He uses a long exposure method in the images you will see this week that captures some amazing shots.

This first image is actually the first image of his that I saw, which led me to contact him and see if I could share his work with everyone here on ImageOfTheDayBlog.com. So, here is an incredible image from Niagara Falls.

Featured on digital-photography-school.com/long-exposure-photography I am always looking for ways to shoot something different. I had seen so many shots of the falls from the same location, and all were pretty much the same. So going out at 2am, and catching the falls with no light, and pushing a 30sec exposure ending with the result.

Photo Details: This photo was taken on March 15, 2008 in Niagara Falls, New York, US, using a Pentax K10D.

Image of the Day 2-12-12 Nippo Maru Shipwreck

I like the effect all the light has on this image.

The bridge of the Nippo Maru. It is moving specks of silt lit by my dive light. The white balancing essentially puts red into everything (as that is the colour that is lost most underwater) so when something is already lit by white light, it ends up super-red/orange.

Image of the Day 2-11-12 El Qaher Shipwreck, Red Sea

admin — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:23:56 +0000

I love how the ship just completely dwarfs the diver in this shot. It is also made so much better by the second shot below it showing the part of the ship that remained above water.

This Egyptian (ex-British) destroyer was sunk by enemy planes and now lies balanced with both its bow and stern above the seabed and some of its superstructure above water. The above shot is that part of the bow that is below water. Here it is on the surface at the end of the dive

Image of the Day 2-10-12 Unkai Maru Shipwreck

The murky deep is strangely beautiful.

This is a photo taken inside the engine room of the shipwrecked Unkai Maru. It was built in 1905 by the W. Grey Shipyard of England and sold in 1911 to the Nakamura Kisen Line for use by the Japanese Navy as a general cargo transport. It was sunken during WWII after being struck by the planes of the U.S.S. Bunker Hill and the U.S.S. Yorktown.

Life is everywhere on this ship, and Mother Nature can take something man-made and make it very beautiful.

An environment all its own. The death of a ship gives life to hundreds. This is brilliantly captured in this photo.

This week I would like to introduce you to Adam Horwood. He is a designer and photographer from London, England. You can find his photos on Flickr using the link below.

Last week we focused on the night-time sky and all its wonders. This week we dive into the deep end with some incredible underwater shots. I am intrigued by underwater photos because scuba diving is something not a lot of people go out and do, especially in areas where they could see and explore shipwrecks.
