  Photos of the Day for August 26, 2003 Life -- Smoke urlLink Photographer: Lisa Haskins Photographer's comments: I took this in the tunnel under the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. There was a troop of mongolian musicians playing...I took quite a few shots of them but liked this more informal one the best.
By the way, it was very dark and I had the iso set to 800, a tribute to how clean the images are from the 10D at high speeds! Camera used: Canon 10D, 70-200mm Geo. location: - Judge's comments: Great colors and detail and the smole is great. Congrats. Inanimate -- Small People, Big Mural urlLink Photographer: Robert Mann Photographer's comments: Philadelphia has over 2,200 murals throughout the city.
This is a small portion of Meg Seligman's 2002 mural 'Visual Arts Theatre on the Avenue of the Arts' which has some passersby in it to show scale. The mural is includes many media: painting, mosaic, sculpture just to name a few. It depicts the arts of dance, theatre, circus, physical, costume and scene design and architecture to name a few. Camera used: Fuji FP S602Z Geo. location: Philadelphia, PA Judge's comments: Great shot, very good colors.
But I cropped the picture next to the building to left it out and it looked a little stronger? But never mind my comments, great shot! Objects & Open -- Lighthouse Keeper's Desk urlLink Photographer: Mary Ann Melton Photographer's comments: While visiting the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, there were several areas that drew my attention for photographs. This desk with its lamp and old typewriter seemed to have good lighting. All photography had to be natural lighting, because flash is prohibited because it is historically preserved.
I thought that the sepia would be in keeping with the historical nature of the setting. Camera used: Canon EOS D60 Geo. location: - Judge's comments: Very nice composition and colors. Congrats on this shot, good atmosphere on this one. Photos of the Day for August 25, 2003 Life -- "The Visitor" urlLink Photographer: jim carper Photographer's comments: Photo of a Wood Stork (the only stork found in the US) taken August 1, 2003 at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine with the Canon 100-400mm lens attached to the 10d.
The Wood Stork is on the Endangered Species list, but seem to be pretty plentiful here in North Florida. Camera used: Canon EOS 10d Geo. location: St. Augustine, Florida Judge's comments: Great stork picture and great capture of his landing. Congrats Jim.
