Good morning, evening, or afternoon, wherever you may be! It’s Ezo back this week with highlights from the server. It’s been a busy week on the server and we’ve had a lot of great photos shared. We’ll be taking a look at some of my favorites. This week I even chose color photos! We’re also going to take a look at three of our special community collaborations. So let’s dig in!
Gallery Gems
First, I’m a sucker for a good square photo, and it’s black and white so you know I couldn’t miss this one. This composition is just perfect, the subject is well lit, there’s darkness all around, and there’s no doubt about what’s happening. The lone person sitting where no one else is, seemingly oblivious to the action and bustle around them. It’s a great composition, and I recommend checking out more of what Elengale is doing.
Looking like the cover of a travel magazine for the jet-set, Ben has captured an awesome selection of what could be described as a travelogue. I chose this one to feature because it reminds me of hot Mediterranean summers and there’s a lot going on. In the foreground, a woman perusing the news of the day. In the background tourists take their photos. All taken on a slightly-over-exposed expired emulsion that just exudes heat and glamour. Hit the thread for more of this incredible set.
Photography, and especially film, is an artform that is full of happy accidents. The_abcedarian was shooting with a widelux and had some film that wasn’t quite loaded right. You can see it in the out of focus edges, the film plane was likely in the wrong place causing this funky bokeh. Of course, the_abecedarian took a lot of absolutely perfect photos, but I wanted to highlight this one to show how great accidents can be and to not get dejected or throw them out when they happen. Check the rest of the gallery for some absolute bangers!
It’s 3AM, bars are closed, you find yourself in a restaurant trying to sop up what’s in your stomach. We’ve all been there, the look in this person’s eyes is something a lot of us can relate to. And there in the background, Christmas lights indicating that this is a fine, quality establishment open late at night. I chose this photo because it reminds me of 3AM soon-dubu in K-town after a long night. Art that can take you places is really special

The Gameboy shenanigans continue! There have been a lot of really great submissions but I wanted to feature this trippy submission from Devanopolis. It’s really great use of colors and abstract feel I think really typifies this collaboration. Make sure to check it out!
Poke-a-Pin: Gotta Take ’em All!
Managed by Ezo Snapshot
April 28th, hopefully the day this is published, is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. Since I live in the future I already went out and took my Pinhole Photos for the day and will bee sharing them soon. I hope you all get/got to celebrate as well! And even if you didn’t, pinhole photography is a fun, low cost, low tech, way to enjoy photography so I hope you take the opportunity to give it a try.
Right In Camera
Managed by Lunar
This week marks an exciting new collaboration for the ones that like to get it right the first time. The Right In Camera collaboration seeks photographers willing to skip the editing software and really get the shot right using nothing but your wits and your camera! Assisted by AON, Lunar will be giving various mini-challenges throughout thee course of the collaboration along with other fun events. For more information, hit the link.
Well that’s all for this week! Thank you for stopping in and checking out the latest from One More Stop. As a special note, we are looking for more contributors for the One More Blog. If you are interested please contact Lunar or myself. And if you aren’t a member yet, make sure to join the Discord, share some photos, and join in on a collaboration or two!
Get out and take some photos!
