Photo of the Day 10.12.09

by Karen Walrond (RSS feed) on Oct 12th 2009 at 7:00PM

I'm always impressed with a good black-and-white photo, but this one by the ubiquitous fiznatty positively took my breath away. What you're looking at here is the exhalation of a humpback whale, photographed in the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada. Beautiful, isn't she?

If you've got some great travel shots you'd love to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day.

Thanks Karen.

btw- no desaturation in this shot... there just wasn't any color coming out of the frame due to high contrast and those dark tones.

The whales were amazing to watch. It was my first opportunity to photograph cetaceans, and they didn't disappoint. If you look at today's image I just posted, you'll see what I mean. ;)
