Photo of the Day: Best of September 2010
2010年9月国家地理评选出的最佳摄影照片
Tarpon and Silversides, Grand Cayman
大开曼岛：海中的大海鲢和银鱼群
The picture was taken at Eden Rock, Grand Cayman. For just a short time every year these silversides swarm caves and swim-throughs at Cayman's dive sites. The picture was taken late afternoon just as the sun was going down. I was hiding behind the silversides, low in the rocks. As the tarpon swam through the silversides, they eventually saw me and turned away. Just like you see in the picture.
这张照片是在大开曼岛的伊登岩下拍摄的。这些银鱼群每年在短暂的一段时间里成群的离开海底洞穴，游到开曼群岛的深水区域中。在夕阳西下的傍晚时分，我潜伏在银鱼群的后面，躲在海底岩石后。正如你在照片中看到的那样，当大海鲢游入银鱼群中时，它发现了我并转身离去。
Silverback Gorilla, Africa
非洲的银背大猩猩
Needing fuel for his efforts, the silverback soaks in a swamp for hours, methodically stripping and rinsing dirt from herb roots before munching.
银背大猩猩需要为自己补充能量和体力。它在沼泽中浸泡了几个小时，它用草本植物的根部有条不紊的清洗身上的泥垢，然后再细细咀嚼那些植物。
Autumn Landscape
秋日的风景
Autumn colors are a beautiful subject to shoot. This place has a special aura all year long, but at autumn it reveals its best.
对于摄影来说，秋天的风景是一个美丽的主题。这个地方四季秀美，在秋季更是显示出它的独特魅力。
I used a tripod standing in cold water. There were a few moments when I could have slipped in the water from slick rocks, but glad it didn't happen.
我习惯把摄影机的三脚架放在冰冷的溪水中。有几次由于岩石太光滑，我踩在上面后滑入水中，庆幸的是我的摄影机没被摔坏。
Painted Hills, Oregon Sunrise
俄勒冈州日出风光——五光十色的山峦
Sunrise on the Painted Hills at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Painted Hills, Oregon. I had to travel three hours on very rural winding country roads in the dark, with steep drop-offs to get there for this opening shot of the day!
这是俄勒冈州约翰迪化石床国家纪念碑公园里画山上的日出景观。为了拍摄那里日出时的美丽景观，我不得不在夜里经过3小时长途跋涉，走过蜿蜒曲折的乡村道路，深一脚浅一脚地到达那里。
Big Cypress Reservation, Florida
佛罗里达州的大柏树保护区
In the green firmament of a slough, galaxies of duckweed are stirred by slow moving waters. Florida's Seminole call this section of swamp the Jurassic.
在这绿色沼泽的世界里，水中的浮萍像银河系一般在缓缓流动的水中转动着。佛罗里达的塞米诺尔（Seminole）称这种沼泽为侏罗纪时期的沼泽。
Storm Clouds, Grand Canyon National Park
国家公园大峡谷中的暴风云景观
Storm clouds clear to reveal frosted cliffs near Point Hansbrough in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park.
在亚利桑那州国家公园的大峡谷中，汉斯布鲁山顶旁的悬崖在风暴云雾中若隐若现。
Thunder Lake, Minnesota
明尼苏达州的雷湖
Sunset flares over Thunder Lake, one of 14 small lakes on the Red Lake Reservation managed by the tribal fisheries department. It feeds Red Lake, sacred to the Chippewa and once again thick with walleyes—fish with a glassy stare revered for their sweet, snowy flesh. By 1996 decades of overfishing had decimated the Red Lake fishery. Tribal, state, and federal agencies, along with the University of Minnesota, cooperated to set up a management plan. Fishing was suspended. Walleye fry were stocked. In less than ten years the fish population exploded from 200,000 to eight million, and tribal members were allowed to resume commercial fishing.
红湖保护区由当地的捕鱼部落管理部门经营，它由14个小湖组成，这张照片展现的霞光笼罩的雷湖就属于其中的一个小湖。雷湖曾是美国契帕瓦族印第安人的圣地，湖中曾经有丰富的猫眼鱼资源（walleyes）——这种鱼的眼睛就像玻璃一样发亮，因其雪白和鲜美的鱼肉而备受青睐。到了1996年时，由于几十年的过度捕捞，红湖猫眼鱼的数量倍减 。于是，当地的捕鱼部落、州政府、联邦机构与明尼苏达州大学联合起来，共同创建了红湖管理计划，暂停红湖保护区的捕鱼活动，并人工放养猫眼鱼苗。在不到10年内，猫眼鱼的数量成倍增加，由原来的20万条激增到800万条，于是政府又允许捕鱼部落恢复商业化捕鱼。
Gateway Arch, St. Louis
圣·路易斯的大拱门
Theatrical lights give the surface of the Gateway Arch a night sheen.
舞台灯光让大拱门的表面在夜间发出异样的光芒。
Lightning Storm, Kentucky
肯塔基的闪电风暴景观
One of several images I took on April 19th, 2009, in Christian County, Kentucky. The day was filled with rotations and wonderful lightning storms. The series of storms rolled on for about three days.
这些照片是2009年4月19日在肯塔基的克里斯琴县（Christian County）拍摄的。那天空中布满奇特的龙卷风暴和闪电风暴，这场风暴持续了3天之久。
Dust Tornado, Africa
非洲的沙漠龙卷风景观
French soldiers chase down papers picked up by a small dust tornado that went right through their camp during a ten-day French Tactical Desert Survival Training Course on May 8, 2008, in Djibouti, Africa.
2008年5月8日，法国士兵在非洲吉布堤（Djibouti）开展为期10天的沙漠生存技能训练课程。训练期间，一阵小型沙漠龙卷风恰好吹进了士兵们的野营帐篷中，把文件吹得四处都是，士兵们正在捡回被卷走的文件。
