Happy Sunday photographers and other art enthusiasts, I hope you’ve been having a lovely week! Summer is almost at a close but that hasn’t stopped our community from creating and posting some very lovely work. Please enjoy these selections, I know I sure did!


Gallery Gems

A black and white photo of two thorny branches crossed
Posted by Pan in the gallery thread “Jalan jalan vol. empat, di hutan I.

Pan’s whole album has amazing photos of foliage, but this photo highlights something harsher than leaves or flowers. I truly appreciate the beauty in this decision to highlight thorns and spikes rather than solely soft foliage. Please check out Pan’s Instagram for some more great photographs!

A color photo of Yosemite, with a bright blue sky behind it, and green foliage in front
Posted by Blout | IG: jackiethelittle in the gallery thread “Yosemite + Slides

Containing a gorgeous photo of Yosemite with some gloriously saturated colors, I was very excited to see Blout’s Yosemite album. I am also a huge sucker for 1:1 ratio photos, and you don’t get to see landscapes at this caliber often. Blout’s Instagram has plenty more photos to look through, and I encourage you to take a look.

A color photo of shadowed hands reaching for one another in a shimmering rainbow
Posted by Dave M in the gallery thread “A Loveletter to Whitehall

This photo screams of yearning, with the shadowed hands reaching for each other. The shadows touching in a way that you can tell the hands weren’t brings a bittersweet feeling. The colors that surround the shadows add a bright warm feeling on top of all of that. Dave M makes some amazingly creating work, his website is a great browse.

A color photo of a lovely summer view of a mountain range leading to a valley with a body of water and a lit city
Posted by TR.photo in the gallery thread “Mt. Tam

I love a lit city, and I love a mountain, and I love a good bay. All of those things combined make this photo incredibly cool. The horizon is beautiful and makes a beautiful sandwich with the mountainous foreground. TR.photo’s Instagram is linked below, please check it out!


Community Collaborations

Ugly Beautiful V2 – Holga vs Diana

Managed by Ezo

An instant photo which is distorted and hard to read, but beautiful
Posted by Elle-Oat in the gallery thread “Solarized Selfies on Lomo Diana Instant

The Holga vs Diana collaboration is continuing at a wild rate, and Elle-Oat’s entry for team Diana is the most striking selfie I’ve ever seen. Physical handling to cause these distortions, the circular framing, and the harsh colors and scars, make this such an incredible photo. Please take a look at Elle-Oat’s photography at their Instagram below.


It has been a busy time for me but I am always happy to make time for this community, and this blog. I love and appreciate all of you for continuing to build this with me.

Thank you for reading,
Lunar
