Salutations photo friends! My name is davesunday and I’m here with some highlights from the server this week. We’ve got some real beauties this week so keep yer eyes peeled and hold on to your hearts.
Gallery Gems
First up is our banner image of the week from bingboys. The intense golden light streaming through the trees makes the viewer feel as if they’re in a fantasy world. Having both highlight and deep black in opposing corners of the image makes it feel very balanced.
Next is an amazing photograph of a field of rapeseed flowers. The layers and their corresponding contrast really give this one a lot of depth. The bright flowers in the foreground giving way to midtones towards the center and the dark electrical tower in the background with the slightly ominous clouds. This one covers a lot of ground.
This image is striking in it’s minimalism. With only a bright silhouette in a dark void one is able to almost feel how soft the cat is and also to imagine how relaxed it is.
I absolutely love the colors in this one. My eyes instantly dart back and forth between the blue at the top of the image and the yellowy warmth of the flowers. The depth of field in this one also makes it more fun to look around in.
Pop your collar up on your coat, light that cigarette, pull your hat down and walk through a delightfully rainy noir scene. I’m instantly transported to an old noir film from the 40’s with this photograph. The mystery of the darkness combined with the hazy details in the light really make for a moody picture.
Community Collaborations
Right In Camera
Managed by Lunar
Here we have a nice airy photo from the ongoing collaboration “Right In Camera” where the goal is to make the best photo without relying on any editing in post. I feel this one gets it “right” with a beautiful blue sky and the Ferris wheel serving as an interesting object for the eye to wander around in.
That’s all for this week. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at this week’s blog. Make sure to stop by next week for another batch of amazing photos. Also, if you aren’t in the One More Stop Discord server already, come on in and take a look around and share some photos.
If you’re shooting a rangefinder, always check that lens cap,
