Scottish Sheep
Photograph by Marc Lanciaux, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
Sheepherding in Scotland has a long history, not all of it pleasant. Many of the pastures in the Western Highlands—where these sheep peer through a fence—were created during the "clearances" of the late 1800s, when wealthy landowners seeking greater profits brutally evicted their tenants and converted their subsistence farmland to pasture.

Mongolian Man
Photograph by Charles Meacham, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
A man in western Mongolia wears a fur-trimmed hat as protection from the bitter cold of winter. Sprawled across mountains and plateaus, Mongolia has an average elevation of 5,180 feet (1,580 meters).
Photo Tip: Light coming through cloud cover is diffuse and useful for shooting portraits. So is the light in open shadows.

This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
A scene of the tiny village of Manarola on the Cinque Terre coast of Italy. I camped on this spot for some time waiting for the right balance of light as the sun set. I was rewarded with many great shots of the late afternoon and even in moonlight. This long exposure captures the essence of the village with the locals all joining for a party near the boat ramp.
