41. Crystal Butler It’s the Nubble Lighthouse in Maine. Crystal was rubbing shoulders with the big boys and big girls and their big boy big girl cameras while she just waved her smart phone around. Let this be a lesson to those of you that will be out photographing...

42. Anita Bell Wow, two days in a row with a fan photo converted to black-and-white. It must be the snow for me just about every photograph that I shoot of snow ends up in black-and-white somehow. Of course, it completely works in color, too, but the slightly...

43. Andy Kamin Karin Seder showed up at the San Francisco Workshop in her vintage Chevy and we placed in some gorgeous late day light and had a little party. Even with smartphones the glass and metal lit up up like Las Vegas. It was just beautiful. Andy shot an...

44. Faye Kepner It’s mother/son organized chaotic fun. If you don’t want your camera hit with chunks of snow then you just better will move it because I am going to keep shoveling and throwing. Isn’t it fantastic the way his face isn’t blocked...

45. Margaret M Davaz I really love Margaret’s photograph here. It’s abstract and disorienting and that’s why it works. It takes a little while to get your bearings, but it’s worth it. The color palette of those background leaves is just wonderful. I think this is one...

47. Hope Salway Fredrickson Blue skies are great, but when it’s just solid blue sky it’s nice to put something up there to fill the space. That’s what Hope did with the curve lines of the gates at the Chateau de Versailles. The curve works perfectly....

48. Patti Gawinski This black-and-white version almost looks like it was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, doesn’t it? (I wonder if anyone at Hubble headquarters ever suggested that they convert one of their colorful galaxy pictures to black-and-white? I...

49.  Karin Seder Yes, I know, more than one FPOTD defies the very definition of FPOTD, but we just wrapped up our San Francisco Workshop and I wanted to share this wildlife photo by Karin taken around 6 am on Pier 39 in the city. (These are Sea Lions, not to be...

#50. Janice Phillips Janice said one of her new year’s resolutions was to post on this site more often. Honestly, that’s music to my ears. Making a commitment to shoot photographs and share them with lots of people you’ve never met is a little scary and practically...
