Welcome back after the recent holiday break to the Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day. Today, our featured photographer registered on the DPNow forum and galleries as stevepl. Steve is a newcomer to DPNow, having only registered here in the last couple of days. He only has one picture in his gallery at the time of writing, but what a picture! Taken with a Pentax K10D, this macro shot of a fly, in flight, has been skillfully captured. Anyone who has tried to photograph a fast moving insect like a fly will know how difficult it is to frame them even when they are just walking around. Capturing them in mid-air is quite a triumph. The background is mellow and un-distracting too. Well done Steve!
Would you like one of your pictures featured on DPNow's POTD?
We are always on the look out for great pictures posted to the user-galleries here on DPNow. POTDs are selected from the gallery and featured every week day. The gallery facility here is completely free; all you need to do is register as a user on our discussion forum and you will get an automatic 25MB of space, which is good for around 125 pictures uploaded at web resolution, about 200K per picture. At the time of writing we had just over10,000 pictures on the galleries and it's well worth a browse.
Picture of the month
At the end of each month we will select our favourite image of the month and declare a Picture of the Month.
The DPNow Golden Gallery
Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
