Week after week, we state that “photography has the power of lightening up our daily lives,“; and what a wonderful way of kick-starting our frantic routines by diving into some beautiful images in the comfort of our seats!
Here is our weekly wrap-up – you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit-chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 634th challenge on Photograph a Minimalist Architecture! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!
Photo Of The Week – March 20th, 2023
This time POTW goes to @reyers and his gorgeous minimalist shot.
I like everything about this image – composition, lighting, textures, lines, and colors too.
Congrats, Rob.
What Are Our Members Up To?
Pour coffee or tea and enjoy our favorite shots from this chic and unique architecture!
Boldly intriguing and quite an invitation for sure.
Making such a mundane encounter an exciting watch is what we call visual skills!
Wouldn't life be less complicated if we could simply grab a slice of the sky and take it with us for the rest of our lives? And that's why this shot inspires us! What about you?
Behold the majesty of a contemporary sphinx!
Beautiful capture of organic lines dwelling between rigid vertical lines.
Minimal construction also applies to the pick.
Fierce capture!
Not your regular lighthouse shot for sure, but quite a calm one it is!
Simply beautiful.
WHOA, what a massive point of view we have here!
“Oil that Is, Black Gold, Texas Tea”
A nice view for those in need of some rural air!
