It’s that time of week, photographers! I am so excited to see the work and effort the community are putting into taking, developing, and sharing their photos. Please enjoy my selections, as this week they were so hard to choose.
Gallery Gems
To start, this impressive trichrome is simply fun to look at, and the effort that went into making it is clear. The trichrome adds this wonderful ghosting effect, and I genuinely love seeing the borders of the film as they are overlapped to create the full color image. Dave M did a great job showing exactly what sort of interest you can create with a process like this. Please check out Dave M’s website for more of their work!
With spring quickly approaching this photo from sitfu in Bali really shows what the future has in store for us. The door is ornate and is framed by the leaves and vines perfectly. Not to mention the colors being pleasing, with the white door standing out impressively. Please check out more of this album, and sitfu’s other work at his website below.
Tenerife makes late winter look like summer in these photos by Pan, and I am excited about it. The water, the birds, and the relaxed posture really make me yearn for the beach, and I am hoping spring turns to summer as quickly as possible. The sky is lovely, and provides a great negative space to the rest of the photo. I encourage you to check out Pan’s Instagram for more work.
sheorun’s photo absolutely screams rainy days, and I love it. A sunny summer is nice, but a rainy summer is divine. The effect the glass has on the light, and the softening it does to the leaves is fantastic and sets the mood. Please check out sheorun’s Instagram, she consistently puts out work that I just adore.
Monochrome? Check. Great lighting? Check. Thoughtful posing? Check. In this photo hits every criteria I have for a great portrait, and I felt like it needed to be included despite not being posted in this exact time range. I am thankful to peat for letting us include this, and I would love if people went to check out his Instagram below.
Ben gives us an insightful look behind the scenes at the creation of a “regency period” short film, and I think the whole thread is excellent. The subject isolation on this photo looks great, and the grain is very pleasing. I am excited to check out this project, Until Today, when it releases. Please check out both Ben’s Instagram and Until Today’s Instagram below.

Daido Royale Part 2
Managed by Hot Pink Bulb
Rounding out our week with some excellent submissions for our Daido Royale Part 2, I just wanted to point out the exemplary photos I found in the gallery. When I choose photos I try not to look at who submitted until I have decided, and it just so happens that Ezo and HotPinkBulb’s photos caught my eyes the most. Ezo has lovely tones and a slightly ironic “fujicolor” sign in monochrome, and a wonderful sky. HotPinkBulb brings the essence of “are, bure, boke” in this photo of a bicyclist. Please check out their online presences below.
Week after week I am blown away by the work that gets posted in this community, and I am truly honored to write for this blog, and be a part of this community. To everyone who submits, thank you, and to everyone who reads along, thank you too.
See you again in a few weeks,
Lunar
