Welcome to our mid-July server wrap-up, I’m Lunar, and I absolutely adored the photos posted in the server this week. People are choosing sides on an eternal battleground, creativity is being tested, and people are posting photos and enjoying each others’. Thank you all for reading, and let’s get into it.

Managing to get both the featured photo, and catch my eye with this photo, really says a lot about newcomer Hexenring. He has a lovely style here, and a strong subject. The man looks like he is about to storm into that building, and take what is rightfully his. Hexenring also mentioned being new to Instagram, please go ahead and jumpstart his follower count at the link below, so that he keeps posting!
Summer vibes? Check. Daring adventure? Check. A beautiful photo of a fun excursion? Precisely. lil uzi introvert has done a great job of showing fun and whimsy in this album, and to me this photo is the perfect example. Please check out his Instagram below.
Emilio mentioned the fingerprints somehow being a lab accident, but frankly they push the image over the top, what a happy accident. A disconcerting portrait, it really shows what it feels like to be a woman sometimes, not just being pulled away, but being completely surrounded by pokes and prods. Emilio’s Instagram is full of amazing photos, check them out!
As much as I don’t like bugs, I had to admit this was a very cool photo. The thin slice of focus, with a lovely flower in the background adds wonderfully to the intense and detailed grasshopper. Macro photography is always cool, and this is no exception. Take a look through Dc5’s Instagram in the following link.
Relaxing in a stressful atmosphere seems tough, but this cowboy is doing his best at it. I don’t know anything about these kinds of shows, but he looks like he does, and the composition says a lot about them as well. The flag looms over the arena as the cowboy takes his rest. Find this photo, and more from this show, at G1TDAT’s website below.
I genuinely don’t know how to describe this photo, other than that it would’ve gone on my mood board for “How I want my house to look when either my kids move out or I’ve won the lottery.” That being said, the lighting, the colors, and the cozy vibes make this one a winner in my book.

Ugly Beautiful Vol. 2 – Holga vs. Diana
Managed by Ezo and Hot Pink Bulb
Coming in strong for team Holga, is Ezo! The extra grainy look on this image doesn’t detract from how hungry the “TACOS” sign has made me, and looks pretty damn cool on top of that. The skull is the icing on the cake. Please check out more Holga vs. Diana shenanigans, and Ezo’s Instagram below!
In the other corner, Dave M’s Diana Trichrome attempt is just wild, and I love to see it. Trichromes always feel like magic, and on a camera like a Diana, it feels even more impossible. Please check out more of Dave M’s work at his website, and follow along both sides for more amazing Holga vs. Diana content
