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 647th challenge on Smooth Water Features! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!
Photo Of The Week – June 19th, 2023
This time POTW goes to @patrickw and his gorgeous b&w landscape.
B&W conversion makes this shot even more peaceful, and the composition is just spot on!
Congrats, Patrick!
What Are Our Members Up To?
Pour some coffee or tea and enjoy these smooth shots!
Fays build up rapidly in our minds, almost from a fairytale!
Shooting landscapes in vertical mode is a massive challenge; this is an elegant example of how good it can become with a proper composition. Silky textures in the water and the sky, sharp tones on the back!
“Curtis Falls”
It's just impossible to describe the gorgeous juxtaposition captured in this frame; water and ice!
Fast shutter speeds enable photographers to transform day into night with a single click!
No wonder why this wonderful site is called Goðafoss, which western-translates into “The Waterfall of the Gods.”
This an incredible shot and hard evidence that scouting is crucial for high-quality landscape photographs.
Lovely shapes! Capturing motion in water under sunlight conditions sounds like an impossible challenge to overcome. Nevertheless, neutral density filters transform that into an enjoyable experience after all.
The aesthetic point of view!
“Boulder Beach, Sonoma County, California”
“‘Silk' below the dam”
“Sunrise Smooth”
