In this article we are presenting this amazing project run by National Geographic where the NATGEO editors will handpick their favorites and publish a story created from publishers pictures and their editor commentary. All these photographs were super amazing but we decide to pick up 30 of them. All these photographs have their own story.

What Jeanne Moddermann saying about Daily Dozen:
“If you’ve been a regular contributor to or viewer of the Daily Dozen, you’ll notice we’ve made some changes. Our biggest change is that we now review every photo submitted to National Geographic’s Your Shot for consideration in the Daily Dozen. This means that if you upload 15 photos to your gallery, those 15 photos will all be reviewed and may be featured in the Daily Dozen.

There is no specific time period for reviewing photos for a day’s Daily Dozen. Our editors may look at a few days’ worth of photos to select the images featured on a particular day. We may include an image on Thursday that you submitted on Tuesday. However, our Daily Dozen editors do not look at all 1.3 million photos on the site each day. If your photo is selected for the Daily Dozen, it will be noted under the “Published” tab on your profile.” ..read more>

It’s been a very cold winter, so the ice in the harbour is quite thick. Strong winds have scoured the snow on the ice creating these shapes. I used a 2-stop hard ND grad filter to “hold back” the light from the city and sky.

Stay in your own lane! Photograph by Patricia Przybylinski
Vermont moose are already training for the Summer Olympic Swim Team. The snow creates proper resistance to build up power kicks for the Butterfly Relay. I am a shadow fan, and when the sun hits the rails on our front deck, I am ready with props in frozen hands! I’m typing very fast as the shadows are out right now…have to fly! p.s. just making sure you know these are toy moose…or are they?

i was fascinated about the desert elephants. the only place in the world where you find them is in Namibia. I had researched them and decided it was time to photograph them. this is one lone bull at a small watering hole in the Namibian desert. it was about 10.30 am , you can see from the shadows the sun was quite high in the sky, and the elephant, had bathed in the water to keep cool.

Glacier trekking Photograph by Nahid Bhadelia
Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate, Patagonia, Argentina. The ice trekking tour on this glacier has to be one of the most surreal experiences of my life. A lot of the North hemisphere glaciers are shrinking but Perito Moreno is one of the most stable glaciers in the world. Being on this body of ice makes you realize how ephemeral and ever changing even the most solid appearing elements of our surroundings are.

Hang En Sunbeam Photograph by Ryan Deboodt
I was on a trip with a few other cavers to do some photography work and I heard stories of an epic sunbeam that occasionally occurred at the entrance to Hang En in Vietnam. The morning was foggy and cloudy so most everyone gave up hope and left. I managed to convince one other person to hang back in the hopes that the clouds would clear. They did just in time and it was stunning.
