Stephen - is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this first Friday of September. While most of us are slowly forgetting our holidays, Stephen is in the middle of his; in Canada to be precise. Stephen is chief forum moderator here on DPNow, as well as working as a professional photographer. Although he has taken his Canon EOS 1D Mark II with him, we also gave him a little Olympus Pen E-P1 to try, and Stephen has been posting shots taken with the Pen during his travels in Canada. You can catch up with Stephen's experiences and pictures via his DPNow blog. The picture I have chosen for the POTD here was taken at a winery in Kelowna, British Columbia. I think this is a very engaging and charming portrait, and the lighting is actually rather good, despite the chance situation. The subject, Tom, as you can see, really does resemble Santa Claus. If you look closely, his name badge is labeled... Santa.
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 13,000 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.
