Gina is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day - today.
Gina is one of DPNow's real enthusiasts and regularly posts thoughtful people shots of her family and friends. I particularly like this one, of the rather shy three year old Ruby. The use of a warm mono tone is ideal for this kind of portrait, and Ruby's eye is pin sharp despite the use of a relatively wide f/5 aperture that limits depth of field. Gina used a Canon EOS-400D and her lens was set to 66mm (106mm equivalent) , which is close to the classic portrait focal length of 100mm (in 135 format terms). This is a thoroughly engaging picture, only spoiled by the obtrusive positioning of the copyright watermark.
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 over 11,000 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.
