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!
Remember past week's challenge of capturing air? Well, this week, the challenge escalated and drove through editing such atmospheric behavior. Here's our finely curated selection of these creative editing approaches towards air from Tersha's 656th challenge on light and airy indoors! How awesome is that, don't you think?
Photo Of The Week – August 21st, 2023

This time POTW goes to @tersha and her minimal shot.
I like the combo of bright green and blue shades here, as well as the slight reflection of the leaf that enhances the bright and airy atmosphere.
Congrats!
What Are Our Members Up To?
Pour some coffee or tea and enjoy light and airy shots!
If, as species, we ever attempted on developing a comprehensive dictionary with just photographic images to illustrate its concept, this one would be a perfect candidate for “coziness”.

As light as a feather.

A bright indoor finding, bathed with the wind-blowing harshness of bright light.

An old shot from Valery's journey in the still life field; quite a talented start, we must say.

A gorgeous array of indoor light!

If light waves were ever to be sculptured, they could easily look like this!

Interesting point of view, don't you think?

What a gorgeous natural light coming from the window in the back!

What You Shouldn't Be Missing From The Light Stalking Community
Nope, it is not a fantastic blue caterpillar being closely shot; it's a soothing blue thistle flower, thanks Diane for it:

If you like texture from bark, Robert shared a couple of crispy frames:


Lenny shared a fantastic frame from what I personally see as a wonderful documentary project for sure:

Rob Eyers shared this wicked machine in the tank. Therefore, advice is more than welcome.

The Mobile Monday Challenge is open for sharing some shots! And if you want to see more shots, take a look at the Members Picks, a place where our community shares their favorite photographs from our forums every week.
