Technical problems can be a headache, but it’s especially frustrating when they prevent you from accessing images. Thankfully, a program line has been developed to solve this problem. The program selects the images of the day by choosing from a catalog of images that date back to 2014.
From Saturday to Tuesday, the program revealed images that may have otherwise remained hidden in the depths of the c’t photography gallery. On Saturday, the program selected Ralf Markert’s photo of an atmospherically illuminated monument in the Ruhr area. Markert captured the monument in a classic central perspective, and the result is a stunning image.
Sunday’s Photo of the Day was another masterpiece by Markert. At the 2013 World Body Painting Festival in Pörtschach, he photographed a work that looks like a comic drawing at first glance, but on closer inspection, reveals more depth and complexity.
JohnnyB’s portrait of a tiger was chosen as Monday’s Picture of the Day. The photograph perfectly captures the majestic and powerful nature of these animals. On Tuesday, “Ausscheider” photographed a butterfly in a butterfly house in Alsace. The butterfly may be a far more harmless animal than the tiger, but the photograph is still a work of art.
The journey into the past ended on Wednesday with Klaus-Peter Kubik’s photo of a ship on the Rhine. The long exposure creates a dynamic movement effect that transports viewers into the moment. Christian Nagel’s impressive photo of the moon provides a look into the past, but on an astronomical scale.
Karsten Gieselmann created an abstract, graphic composition with his photo of a staircase in a building in downtown Munich. He added a tint of blue with yellow in the stairwell to increase the overall effect of the picture.
Fortunately, these photos can still be enjoyed today, even if they were taken years ago. They serve as a reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be captured with a camera. If you’re interested in learning more about the artists and how they find inspiration, be sure to check out the current issue of c’t photography.
