KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This is Shep, my friend's new 3-month-old rescue puppy. He was intrigued by the sound of the camera shutter!

A spider dining on a fly in the late afternoon sun, taken in my backyard. After I noticed the spider, I observed it and took photos of it for around 15 minutes, trying to catch it at the perfect moment. It was very special to be able to capture this ordinary but beautiful scene in nature. Once I got the image into the computer, I fell in love with the contrast between the cool colors of the left side of the frame and the warm setting sun on the right side.

While in Arimatsu, a town 15 minutes from Nagoya, Japan, I happened to see this fantastic large, red umbrella sheltering a dining table. Lovely!

It shows a hard working man. I made the Picture in 2012 in Germany at Zeche Zollverein (a UNESCO World Heritage).

Awesome.

While on safari in Chobe National Park in Botswana our vehicle was charged by an elephant. I didn't know whether to be exhilarated or terrified. The thrill won out and I got this once in a lifetime shot.

taken at Birch Creek Farm in Cream Ridge, N.J. My favorite time of year is Spring and one of the reasons is all the baby animals.

Ferie in UAE, in the desert together with my daughter.

This is my niece, Zoey. She is so full of energy. I never thought I would be interested in doing child portrait photography, but she makes it so easy.

This fly found in the backyard and taken from the frontal position with its tiny feet pressed together suggests deep delight at this nectar bearing flower.

Feeding time. Flowers are not out, so this will have to do for now.

Big day for the Easter Bunny!

This is my little rescue dog Pippa, in the two years we have had her she has been a joy.

Three pipevine swallowtail butterflies enjoying a milkweed flower.

My dad was a professional Car Guy and used to quiz me on the make, model and year of cars. Seeing these classics in Havana was so exciting!

The cows in the photo live on a farm in Lancaster, Pa. where they sell the best homemade icecream.

It was an overcast morning producing nice soft light to work with as I watched and photographed the birds at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area on Long Island, New York. The tree swallow had been preening and looked up allowing me to capture this unusual pose.

This picture was so special to me because when I was passing a mountainous range I only found this flower standing alone in the bushy area surrounded by it, this picture was taken in Ramboda, Srilanka. This picture relates to my theme by nature, nature means the beauty.

Taken 25/6/2014 in the midlands UK. using a Kodak AZ 361 what I like about this picture is that it could have been taken anywhere in the world..!

I wanted to represent going against gender stereotypes.

This picture was taken last year.

I was playing around with long exposures at night. I was never able to set it up just right. And this night everything came together.

This photo was taken in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France last summer. The dog waited patiently for a handout from the local butcher. Not sure he ever got one.

I tried to take and ordinary object and look at it in a different way to make it artistic.

the picture was taken in Pakistan. the contrast of barbed wire with delicate flowers was just catchy.

Magnificent Flamingo feathers displaying its beauty, captured at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, USA.

This shot was taken in my back garden as a project to look at nature in macro. The Ant moved really quickly along the moss edge, which made the capture really difficult. This shot for me shows a level of process the ant must be going through as it looks to find away off its mossy island. Taken this August (2013) in Watford,Hertfordshire. UK

My granddaughter (3 years) waiting for an ice cream Picture taken July 27, 2012. Greetings, Hay

This photo was taken on my school campus. The mosses growing on the tree makes the bark look like it's own biome. The little plants growing off the tree among the bark looks like little trees on barren rock.

The little frog really didn't think I could see him. He never moved even after I took the picture. It was taken on May 31, 2010 in the Okefenokee Swamp Park near Waycross, Georgia. It shows how nature can camouflage it's self for protection.

This is my daughter Andrea on her 21st Birthday with her Golden Retriever Bravo.

This place is no longer. On its place was built a new building. Moldova, Chisinau. Jan 26, 2008. Street photography.

This picture was taken by a very small village canning in West Bangal,India. In this picture one little village boy playing under water sometime he was floate sometime sink or sometime swim. He just totally enjoy the rainy season so much. Chilhood is the time for play does not ignor or distroy the that perticuler time for all of us. We can not play now but still we miss our childhood. It is the great blessing by God. if it will pass away it will never came back.

Taken at the back of our house in the Philippines.

Just watching the time go by.

It's tricky getting butterflies in flight and here I was able to get it with a nice background the subject echo below D300 + 180mm @ f2.8, 1/1000, ISO 200, SB910 + Diffuser at 45 degrees up

I am submitting this picture of my faithful companion Buster for National Pet Day. This picture was taken at my house. Buster is so friendly & I have enjoyed having him so much!

This shot was taken at Dalyan, on the south-west coast of Turkey. This lady had just come out of therapeutic mud bath and she wanted me to take her photograph before she jumped into the lake. I took this image with a fast shutter speed to capture her in mid-air. I loved the smile on her face and the way she jumped - It showed that her age was insignificant. For me, she was the hero of the day. This picture is special because it was one of the most funny moments of my life. Picture taken on holiday.

This is special to me because it showcases the love of a mother. This picture was taken at Pune (Maharashtra, in the month of January.

This picture is special because I felt a connection with nature when I saw the peacock flutter around me around the time of shooting. I took this picture in 2012, Sydney.

Melbourne Florida July 2013. We often overlook the beauty which surrounds us....

This picture is so special to me because it captures my nephews personality perfectly. He is full of energy and a huge angel at heart. Obviously he also likes to stuff his gob. This was taken at a spontaneous trip to Sidmouth Beach in the summer holidays.

Each year, ABC Newsnet5 of Cleveland invites the top graduating seniors of each school to be videotaped for spots airing from 5-25 through 6-21. Here, a group (including my daughter) waves for the camera. Taken 5-2-15 at Tower City Center, Cleveland, OH.

This is my son's little boy. She wanted me to take his picture, because he was about to get his hair cut for summer. We stuck a little flag in his pocket as well, to honor Memorial Day weekend. (:
