Hello, and welcome back to our cozy little blog for the first week of June! I am your captain this week, Lunar, and I wanted to make a quick shoutout for Pride month, and say that I am proud of everyone in our community for continually supporting the rights of everyone else in the community. That being said, let’s jump into this week’s photos!
Gallery Gems
Prior to seeing Chris’s work I did not imagine how incredible reenactment photos could look, but I was blown away when I saw the gallery posted. It is crazy to know that is a working flamethrower, and not post-processing or special effects. These events seem intense, and it is great to see work from such a great photographer. Take a look at more work on Chris’s Instagram.
Mymmy continues to post hit after hit, and this week is no exception. The dreary look of the city in haze, the dreamy feel of the photo, and the distant skyscrapers all come together to make me think of dystopia and apocalypse. Give Mymmy’s work a further look at his Instagram!
With a view as great as this, I can see why LdB hiked up this mountain. The bright foreground leading into the shadowy, almost stormy background feels adventurous. I love LdB’s work, and could keep gushing about it forever. Find more at his Glass profile below.
Community Collaborations
Right in Camera
Managed by Lunar Hades
I know this is my own collaboration so it feels a bit weird, but I needed to say how proud I am of the community in embracing my collaboration, and the work everyone has put in. I also needed to highlight this piece of food photography, that has both my mouth watering, and somehow has no post processing work done on it.
Club f/64
Managed by Rob
Club f/64 is a collaboration that takes plenty of time, high quality work, and high quality prints, and Dave has produced a result which I feel embodies the mission of the collaboration. Every part of this image is sharp and in focus, and not only that, but the tones and shadows are delightful too. Check out Dave’s Instagram!
The Postcard Project
Managed by sheorun
I am very happy to highlight sheorun’s Postcard Project this week, because not only is it a massive undertaking on sheorun’s part, it is an incredible community effort to share the joy in one’s work, and get a physical piece, made with love and care, from another member. Please take a look at the thread for the rules as well as instructions on how to make a postcard, and then sign up for the exchange with the link below!
As this week comes to a close I continue to be excited about all of the work this community produces, the excellent critique our members give, and the amount of collaborative effort we’re all putting in together. If you’re not already a member of the Discord server where this all takes place, please click on the link below and join, we don’t bite.
You all stay in my heart and mind,
Lunar Hades
Please take a look at my Instagram for more of my work!
