Abstract Urban Geometry, Mobile Challenge Highlights And More – The Weekly Community Roundup

This week in the Light Stalking photography community was really defined by a lot of urban geometry, abstract constructions, shadows, reflections, and a lot of architecture shots! A lot of this was probably down to our “Abstract Structures” weekly challenge which produced a lot of interesting shots.

Photo of the Week

Federico chose Jorge Carrillo's wonderful architecture shot to in photo of the week. The strong, clean architectural composition with repeating window texture and greenery really set this one apart. Federico noted the difficulty in achieving this kind of claim perspective and even noted a kind of tilt shift feel to the image. Well done, Jorge.
