Welcome to another wonderful week in this community. Lunar here, and I am happy to say we have had a lot of great new members recently! It feels like we’re growing and it feels very organic, and I love it. I hope this blog encourages people to join, or encourages existing members to continue posting their best work! And sign up for new challenges, which you’ll see in this post! Enough words, let’s get into the art.
Gallery Gems
Protest images are generally very powerful but this one is especially so. To see so many different kinds of people protesting for an important cause is great. The framing is lovely, the grain is to die for, and I appreciate it being shared. Please take a look at Gary’s Instagram below.
A newcomer to the server but one who clearly has skill and an eye for photos. I really enjoyed this set. The light graffiti contrasts well with the blank sky, and overall feels very striking. Industrial works have always caught my eye, and this is no exception. EerieEmilia’s website is worth taking a look through as well!
Another relatively new addition to the server, Finally Has a Hasselblad’s gallery with Lomo turquoise certainly made an impression. The color palette is very unique, and the building framed by the sky and leaves really stands out. Please check out their Instagram below.
Eeenmachine keeps doing it, and none of us should be surprised at this point. Sharp lines, great tones, altogether another lesson in how to do photography right. His Mastodon is linked below, and if you aren’t on that platform his work is a great reason to get yourself onto it.
Community Collaborations
Ugly Beautiful Vol. 2: Holga vs Diana
Managed by Ezo
Ezo and HotPinkBulb are duking it out in this team based shooter. Shooting with cameras of course! Two classic, iconic, and as some would say, horrid toy camera brands, two teams pledging allegiance to one, all to see who can take the most beautiful ugly photos. I am excited for this to kick off, and I am signed up on team Holga. Check out more about it, and sign up at the link below.
Right In Camera
Managed by Lunar
Today the Right In Camera challenge comes to a close, but Blue Squares submitted a panorama that just had to be seen. A great perspective of an intersection on a beautiful street. Always happy to get great photos. A bit sad to see the collaboration end, but next we move onto the interview portion.
With another week in the bag I want to reiterate how excited I am for this community to continue to grow, and for the members to continue to grow as artists. Please join if you haven’t, and please keep enjoying the community if you have.
Until we meet again,
Lunar Hades
