Photography has the power to lighten up our lives, and what a great thing it is to start our days by seeing some beautiful images in the comfort of our seats!
Here is our weekly wrap-up – where you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit-chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 626th challenge on Backlit Architectural Photography!! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum also.
Photo Of The Week – January 23rd, 2023
This time POTW goes to @robertapple and his icy cold shot.
The colors here are exquisite – we can literally feel the cold! Backlighting is quite subtle, but it works well and gives an ethereal glow to this beautiful winter scene.
Congrats, Robert.
What Are Our Members Up To?
Pour coffee or tea and enjoy our favorite Side Lit Still Life shots!
A solid Light Stalking's classic for sure, “Night sky through my window”.
The bold perspective enhances the massive structure of this beautiful lighthouse! Oh, and did you notice the person on the door below?
A gorgeous scene spotted from above, the beautiful sky, and the moody tones in the shadowy zone bring the story alive!
“Underneath the arches”
A symmetrical and colorful, and an exciting finding for sure!
“Backlit, architecture under construction.”
It's amusing how photography makes the ordinary instantly extraordinary with the proper exposure and composition!
“Alone” is a perfect example of how less is more when telling a story through a visual resource!
Wonderful view as the light disappeared from the sky. The future is now, and this skyline makes it pretty!
“By The Window”

Rose Marie mistakenly posted this beautiful photo of a backlit glacier in our weekly challenge, but it is so gorgeous that we couldn't help but share it with all of you!
Steve shared a bold shot from his outing at the Millrace Massacre. He's interested in ideas anyone might have about ways to find more variety in these sorts of images. Swing by and share your comments with him.
He also shared a couple of shots that opened the old debate about what is street photography and what is not:
Inspired by Robert Frank's “The Americans”, Patrick shared his updated version of the iconic shot we all relate to:
And please, give a warm welcome to our newest member Craig!
