Photo a Day: Sky

Each day of the month we’re bringing you our submission of a themed Photo a Day challenge. Today, Oct. 12, the theme is Sky. Today was a great day for sky pictures, especially over the Navesink River where rolling clouds created some dynamic shapes and contrasts. 

The above picture was taken in Marine Park this afternoon. 

Show us your best sky picture! Upload it here, Tweet us, or email us, like Red Bank resident Jude Ekin did, prior to the posting of today's Photo a Day challenge.

Yesterday's theme was Outfit of the Day, for which we a great submission from Marjorie Smith. Tomorrow’s theme is Favorite Place. Check back in each day for our Photo of the Day and submit your own. Check out below for a description of the Photo a Day challenge and a list of October themes.

With the advent of media sharing applications like Instagram and the rapid rise in photo sharing across the internet through forums like Facebook, Reddit and even Patch, there have been movements to engender creativity in the digital photography community.

One such movement that has become popular is the now-ubiquitous Photo A Day challenge. While many sites across the internet offer their own interpretations and challenge lists, the goal is always the same, to capture a digital image each day that represents that day’s specific theme.

To participate, upload your photos directly to Red Bank-Shrewsbury Patch by clicking the "Upload Photos and Videos" button directly under the above picture, email us at edward.vanembden@patch.com, or Tweet us your pic at @redbankpatch. Though we plan on keeping to the schedule, feel free to upload your themed pics at your leisure.
