Photo of the day - silhouette of London

Photo of the day - silhouette of London Mar 9th, 2011 at 5:30PM: When I think of London, I often see gray. But not this time. This creative photo from Sarah Landau, a professional touring lighting designer, paints the traditional London skyline a little differently. Featuring the eye, Big Ben, and the Thames, this spooky image is a bit thought-provoking. My thought at this moment: I'd like to visit London again... immediately. Wish we'd feature one of ...

Three Days in London

Three Days in London Aug 3rd, 2010 at 3:00PM: The cliches of constant rain and gloom are quickly banished when you visit London in the summer. While all the tourist favorites – Big Ben, Tower of London, British Museum – are open and busy, there are other exciting exhibits, West End shows and areas of the city ripe for exploration. If you have three days to spend in the capital this summer, here are some suggestions to keep in ...

Geotagging cameras create accidental maps

Geotagging cameras create accidental maps Apr 28th, 2009 at 11:00AM: One could easily spend hours browsing images on social photo-sharing sites like Flickr.

But one unintended consequence of all these photos has nothing to do with what they look like - it's all the information like tags, camera type and location ...

Photo of the Day 4.20.09

Photo of the Day 4.20.09 Apr 20th, 2009 at 8:00PM: You know, I've been to England tons of times. I used to live in England. I'm even *married* to an Englishman. So I've taken the exact same shot you see above dozens of times. And yet? And yet, I've never been able to capture the detail and the colours captured by skinnymalinki1 above, and shared in our Flickr pool. Really lovely work -- skinnymalinki1, you should be proud! If you've got some ...

Photo of the Day (08.30.08)

Photo of the Day (08.30.08) Aug 30th, 2008 at 9:30AM: I came to a depressing conclusion the other night: summer is almost over and that means that soon we will return to extended dark evening hours. I do love long summer nights when the sun sets late, but this photo was a good reminder of just how great evening shots can be. Big Ben stands almost secondary to the car lights that whiz by in this wonderful shot by fiznatty. Think you have what it ...
