Happy Sunday collaborators, it’s Lunar and I am so excited to be writing again! With all of the writers we have now I feel like I never write anymore. But all of the different opinions and styles have been great for the blog! That being said, let’s head forward into the week’s photos!


Gallery Gems

A color photo of planes with exhaust smoke flying upside down against clouds and blue sky
Posted by dc5 | IG: mjeffv2 in the gallery thread “Blue Angles

I don’t usually like plane photos but something about this one stood out to me, maybe it’s the contrast of the sky and clouds, with the planes  matching the color of the sky so well. Either way I think it was very well done and you should look at dc5’s Instagram for more hits!

A black and white portrait photo of a man with glasses and a goatee
Posted by Taury | IG: @t0ry77 in the gallery thread “8.10.2024 11.50am

Taury posted this lovely portrait, with a great tone and a super shallow depth of field, and I fell in love with it! It is lit so well, and really blends a modern aesthetic with a classic looking style of photography. Taury’s Instagram is linked below, and you’ll find more impressive photos there.

Posted by Nina in the gallery thread “Pixel 3a

Another instance that I love to be able to show, the camera does not make neither the photo or the photographer. Taken on a phone camera, the Pixel 3a, this photo is stunning, and any hardware it was taken with wouldn’t have changed that fact. Nina shows that the best camera in any situation is the one you have with you. Check out their Instagram below!

Holga VS Diana

Posted by schnee in the gallery thread “First Diana Roll

Coming in hot for team Diana, schnee is rocking his first Diana roll. The subway tube looks incredible in this long exposure, and the blurring gives it such a surreal effect. Please take a look at schnee’s other work in the Discord!

Posted by Ezo in the gallery thread “Sunflowers to the City a Holga Story

Atmosphere is here in force in this photo, with Ezo coming in hot for team Holga. The statue is ominous with the scant lighting, and the cranked grain really says a lot about the deep dark. Please check out the Holga VS Diana Discord threads, and Ezo’s Threads account as well!


Another week come and gone, but another week I find myself filled with joy about our community and the conversations and work we produce.

Full of admiration,
Lunar
