Good morning, evening, or afternoon, wherever you may be! It’s Ezo back this week with highlights from the server. Once again I even chose color photos to feature! We’ll also be peeking in on the latest collaborations. So let’s get into it!
Gallery Gems
I chose this shot by Peter for three reasons. The first reason: the colors. Blue and orange are complementary colors and they look great here. Peter really got them on full display from the eye make up to the dress. Just excellent. The next reason is the lighting. I love how bright this is and how hard that shadow is in contrast. Finally, the composition. The model is centered, which shows off the size of the dress and the way it billows out to one side making the composition feel asymmetrical. It’s fantastic and there are lots more great shots in his gallery and Instagram.
Once again, Ben is taking us on a trip. This time to Portugal. There are many great photos in this gallery but this is the one that really stuck out to me. The super wide aspect ratio is really fitting here and there’s very little wasted space that a taller ratio would introduce. The other reason is the nice contrast of movement and stillness between the waiting rider and the moving train. I’d encourage you to check out more from Ben on Instagram or in Discord.
I think I might have accidentally created a blue/orange theme here. Dave has captured some really lovely colors and a fun design painted onto this building. I’d also like to point out that DaveM is doing these film inversions manually so we’re seeing Dave’s interpretation more than a lab or software’s. I think this has created a really special look and worth praising. Finally, I like how the sunburst design creates leading lines pointing to a blue, but cloudy sky. It’s a lovely thematic contrast.
Look! Birds in the sky! I chose this specific photo because of this amusing motif of birds painted on the sides of gondolas. The composition is really easy to look at, thee colors are low contrast but pleasing. There were a lot of great photos in this gallery but this one made me smile and feel good, so I’m featuring this one.
There’s my black and white! And not just black and white, infrared. Mymmy put together this greaet composition. I love the desolate feeling of this shed on a big open field, and the clouds wooshing by it like the passage of time. And despite the possibility that it might make one feel lonely, or sad, the bright highlights have a jovial feeling, and almost jauntiness that makes this photo feel warm and comforting. For more very cool infrared photography hit up the gallery to see more, or give him a follow on Insta.
Community Collaborations
2-Bit Clubhouse
Managed by eeenmachinee
The 2-Bit Clubhouse has been a little quiet lately, but it seems like some members are still getting out there, and others are currently building new toys. If you have any interest in taking low-res photos, I recommend hitting the link to see what’s up.
Right In Camera
Managed by Lunar
The Right in Camera collaboration continues! This week’s challenge was to use an in-camera crop. Owleye created this lovely night scene in a nice wide ratio. The current challenge will continue until May 25th. Be sure to pop in and give it a try as an exercise in using your digital camera in a way you may never have before.
Well that’s all for this week! Thank you for stopping in and checking out the latest from One More Stop. A special thank you to some of our new editors for stepping up and helping us continue the One More Blog. We can still use more editors though, so 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!
