Flickr Group Photo of the Week

This week’s “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” photo of the week is a portrait named Jenna from Flickr user quemino of the world:

I particularly like the vibrant red, soft focus, and very shallow depth of field. You can view more portraits like this over at quemino of the world’s Flickr stream.

Flickr Group Photo of the Week

This week’s “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” photo of the week is an untitled portrait from Flickr user Snickerson21. You can’t go wrong with a close-in portrait of a child with a genuine smile on his face but I particularly love the post-processing treatment. It gives the portrait an added touch and an old, scrapbook-type feel.

You can view the rest of Snickerson21’s photos here.

Flickr Photo of the Week(s)

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has continued to contribute fantastic photos to the “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” Flickr group despite my neglect the last couple weeks. I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see so many great photographs that have been contributed over the last two weeks or so.

So, as I get the wheels turning again, I wanted to highlight one of the standout photos in the group pool.

This photo is called “out of service” by Flickr user brendan sheridan:

To reiterate one of the commenters on this great photo, India is, indeed, a photographer’s paradise and Brendan did wonderfully here. Nice work!

Flickr Group Photo of the Week

Apologies for getting this out late today… I just started a new “day job” last week and I’m still adjusting to working a little bit later everyday.

Anyway, this week’s photo comes from Flickr user pawoli. He submitted the following portrait of a man on a cell phone who appears a tad dismayed with the lens being pointed his way. I picked it because, knowing that pawoli is from Paris, this photo says “Paris” to me. And no, not because the gentleman is scowling. In addition, it’s not easy to take a photo of someone you don’t know in a setting like that so kudos to pawoli for pulling it off!

Flickr Group Photo of the Week

It’s that time of the week again!

This week’s photo of the week comes from Flickr user xgray. It’s a very simple shot of a chair. It just goes to show that you don’t necessarily have to have the most fascinating subjects to make a great photo. The composition here is everything. Nice work!

Flickr Group Photo of the Week

It just occurred to me that I didn’t post a Photo of the Week last week. With all the wedding photos I was processing it must have totally slipped my mind. Bad blogger!

So, this week, I’m posting two of my recent faves from the “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” group.

The first one is from Flickr user icemanuk and is a great sepia-toned shot of the Big Apple:

The next photo was one I had to invite when I saw it… It’s a very dramatic (if not frightening) shot of a propane plant explosion in Toronto, taken by scott3eh:

This week’s “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” photo of the week comes from Flickr user pawoli and is entitled homme à barbe. I’ve always loved black and white candid shots and this one is no exception… Here we have a Paris gentleman with a rather full beard. Nice work pawoli!

Flickr Group Photo of the Week

This week’s “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” photo of the week comes from Flickr user midwinterphoto and is a stunning night shot of lightning over Calgary, Alberta. I’ve always been a sucker for great night, lightning shots but I just haven’t had the chance to get a good one. This one, though, is one of the best! Great work!

Photo(s) of the Week is Back!

As you may have noticed, we haven’t had a “Photo of the Week” in quite a while due to my recent globetrotting. Today, I’d like to restart the “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” Photo of the Week.

Apparently, while I’ve been gone, many of you have kept submitting some incredible photos! So, for our first Photo of the Week post, I have picked a few photos that jumped right out at me as I was browsing the group photo pool.

If you’ve submitted photos to the group since my last post, feel free to remove it and resubmit it to the group because I may have missed it.

On to the photos!

Our first photo is a stunning morning beach shot by Tess (At Last Photography):

Our second photo comes from xgray. I love the color and composition here:

The third photo comes from a friend of mine in Palestine, nemer86, who took this great shot of a street race in Nablus:

Our next shot is a great black and white cloud and landscape shot by davewjr:

Finally, our last shot for the week comes from friend of the site Samer Farha. He has submitted a fantastic sunset shot last month:

Again, if you want to make sure I see your submissions from the last month or so, feel free to remove any of your photos from the group pool and resubmit them.

Thanks again for continuing to submit great photos to our Flickr group! I love looking through them every week!

Flickr Group - Photo of the Week

This week’s “Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs” Photo of the Week comes from Flickr user davewjr. What really struck me about the photo was the golden reflection on the water and the very deep blue in the sky. The slight vignette around the top corners also adds to the photo.

Be sure to check out davewjr’s Flickr stream.
