KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I was inspired by Scott Dickson and high speed photography and I captured the very moment when the needle pops the balloon filled with water. I took it at the start of March,2014 in my backyard using black bed sheets as background. It is artistic and creative because it's not just a normal water balloon, by adding props such as sunglasses or hats we get more action inside a frame.

These poppies are beautiful and the color is so vivid. This was taken in Lancaster California. Our state flower growing wild.

Never caught a ladybird ready to fly before, it was actually luck that this happened, not skill :-) Photo taken in April 2013 Ireland Nature at its best

I shot this photo in Venice this past summer. This time, we were in Venice for only a day, since we were gpoing to be embarking on a Mediterranean cruise from there the following day. On previous visits to this most most magical and photogenic of cities, we have been fortunate enough to have been able to stay somewhat longer. We came across this cultural art installation and the reflections it created by chance--and I loved it.

The picture was taken a couple of years ago.

During a evening walk, I made a picture of myself and my dog.

After backpacking through Europe, my brother and I spent a week on safari in Kenya. This photo was one of several thousand that I took during a drive through the Amboseli National Park. The elephants were among my favorite animals to observe during our time in Kenya. For such massive creatures they somehow exude an alluring carefree and graceful spirit.

This picture isolates the golfer's feet as the golf club makes contact through the golf ball. It was taken in July of 2014.

My 4 year old daughter made a great model for me to practice some photography! The fall colors in the background added extra flair!

While we were in Europe, we were so amazed at the textures. No matter where we went, we got great images...

Beautiful blooms of a Texas cactus in springtime.

The stream is Four Mile Run in Arlington, VA. I liked the reflection of the bare tree on the water littered with fallen leaves.

This is my first try at levitation photography. I'm not usually very good at photo manipulation, and I got a lot of compliments on this picture. So it means a lot to me because it lets me know I can always go further with my photography.

Making use of my rain boots on a fun day out shooting photos.

Fun Day enjoying the colors at Sharon Woods Cincinnati Ohio Nov 3 2013, Nature at it's Finest

taken last halloween in Hoboken, New Jersey

This picture was taken when the leaves started to change into vivid reds and oranges. It was the perfect opportunity to get my camera and showcase Mother Nature's masterpiece.

They look like a family to me. I could not resist.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. I especially enjoy going to and photographing at the local fairs in CT. On October 3, 2014 I photographed this colorful ferris wheel at the Berlin Agricultural Fair in Berlin, CT. I waited until the ferris wheel was most colorful and took the picture.

I chose this picture because of the vibrant colours and interesting stripes of the flower. I like the bold colour of the whole image. I took the photograph for part of my A-level photography course as the theme was 'Contrast', and i think the colours match the theme of contrast and the theme I picked for this submition.

Surprised this smiling iguana in the my backyard´s house. Kindly posed for photo.

Fairfield boat house Victoria australia . I have always like this place since I was a kid . I have seen many people photograph this area but it has always been at day time , so I wanted to be different . I love painting with light so I decided this was what i was going to do . As I already new what it looked like , I came at night time and took five images at different exposures and painting different parts of the scene . When I got home I created a HDR image using layering technique and this is how it turned out . Hope you like

This was taken at a nature preserve in Alexandria, VA. one fall afternoon. I was walking through the woods and happened to look up.

beautiful fall leaves. took this picture in my yard before hurricane sandy came through and took off alot of the leaves

Love the way my granddaughters, two year old identical twins Adelise and Vivienne adore each other, you can tell that by the way they gaze in each other's eyes. The photo was taken at a monster mash festival at Hoyt Farm in Commack, NY October 19, 2014. The girls were Twinocchios for Halloween.

The picture is taken 2013, August.

Jag was orphaned at one week old and we took him in. He is a loving, affectionate cat that loves to cuddle...as if he says thank you every day.

I love strolling about in this rough terrain especially in the company of my dog. September 2014 in the middle of Sweden.

Just a clock that I love. It fell in the floor while i was taking some pics and I just shoot at it. In San Juan

Lucky to capture it, taken in Lake District in September 2014. Meets animal theme

Photo taken this summer in Paris. There are lots of activities for children that do not have the chance to go out of Paris for holidays.

Crested Caracaras are residents in Cuba, South & Central America, Mexico, and the southern United States. These beautiful birds are in the Wildlife Sanctuary at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, being well cared since they are injured animals receiving shelter, food, and love for life. I am a proud volunteer bringing awareness of their noble and silent work through my photography ? www.flamingogardens.org

This protea was the largest one I have seen. There is so much detail in the makeup of this beautiful flower.

My kitty, Barney, taking a late afternoon nap in his favorite patch of sunlight. (it's his fave chair, too.)

The light and color were very brief, and I was luck enough to be able to stop for this shot. It was taken Oct. 30, 2013 near Trail B.C. in the early morning. It relates to the theme by illustrating the contrast between man and the natural course of nature.

This was shot at the Korean War Memorial in Washington, DC. It is a tribute to the veterans of one of America's most overlooked conflicts.

Drying clothes in the monsoon is quite a challenge. Abandoned by the clothes, the clothesline and clothespins were supposed to look sad and forlorn. But it did not! It was as if they came to life... glistening raindrops lined up in unison gave it a special lease of life as the clothes pins took on a fresh colour. The rains seem to cheer just about anyone and anything up! I have taken this photograph in Hyderabad, India on 12th July 2013. I have tried to capture the ordinary things of daily life in artistic manner.

This picture is special to me as I have managed to capture the fine details of the subject's eye. The subject is very old, partially blind, deaf and has Alzheimer's. She is older than me (I am 21) and she was a fantastic subject which sat still throughout a 45 minute shoot. I took it in a village named Mansfield Woodhouse which is in Nottinghamshire, UK. I don't believe that it is just a 'animal/pet' shot. To me it is an artistic/creative shot as it isn't you cliché pet shot.

I liked the innocent expression of this little girl during Eid prayer at Dhanbad.
