Good morning, evening, or afternoon, wherever you may be! It’s Ezo back this week with highlights from the server. I’ve been awfully busy this week, but I had a chance to shoot quite a few shots for the Daido Royale. If you have a chance to take a look at my submissions I’d love to get feedback. This week I’m highlighting some great shots from our members both new and old. I’ll also be bringing some attention to some ongoing community collaborations. So let’s dig in!
Gallery Gems
Samgerers took some lemons and made a very delicious batch of lemonade with this gallery. These photos were heavily fogged and didn’t work for the project they were intended for. So he took these photos and turned them into a mixed media artwork! I’m personally a big fan of mixing the written word with photography, and I particularly love the melancholic-romantic question sketched here on this photo. I think it’s a question that will resonate with anyone who has ever spent time apart from loved ones.
I really like this photo for the rendition of black and white. The toning is really beautiful and matches the subject matter really well. The gentle gradation of white to black on the diagonal is very pleasant. More than that, this is a very cool technical work. These are reversals done on Fomaspeed paper. For more details of how matt achieved this check out the gallery link above!
Praetor has been shooting some 400D and put together a great selection of keepers recently. I chose this one to feature because of the great use of orange and blue. The feeling of a city at sunset, and the nostalgic orange from the light reflecting off the glass at blue hour. Additionally, there’s a great set of shapes created by the buildings and the sky. Check out the gallery for more, or Praetor’s Flickr!
I thought this shot by Tom was particularly great. The use of high contrast colors on top of a relatively low contrast backdrop is inspired. Furthermore, the composition is great with the sign right on a on the right 1/3 of the frame. The sign, destroyed by what appears to be shot, looks like it’s being blown by the wind. Small imperfections like the light leaks add an organic touch to this extremely well composed image. More great shots are in the gallery as well.
Community Collaborations
2-Bit Clubhouse
Managed by eeenmachine
The low-fi, pixelicious 2-bit Clubhouse is really picking up steam! Using Gameboy cameras and emulators, members have been putting together some really great images using this extremely limiting tool. And now, a gallery is in the works. And what better place to view these low-res images, than in Minecraft? That’s right, the Two Bit Contemporary is in the works and will be displaying all the best of the collaboration. If you still want to participate there’s plenty of time left!
Well that’s all for this week! Thank you for stopping in and checking out the latest from One More stop. If you haven’t yet, make sure to join the Discord, share some photos, and join in on a collaboration or two!
Digitally Yours,
Ezo
