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 – you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit-chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 624th challenge on Outdoor Photograph in the Holiday! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!
Photo Of The Week – January 9th, 2023
This time POTW goes to @wendyp and her minimal yet very effective photo of winter fun.
I like the crop, composition, textures, and subtle yellow and violet hues that make the ice appear more beautiful.
Congrats, Wendy.

“The redpolls' Christmas celebration… at minus 18 degrees Celcius. They need feeding two times daily now in this exceptional freeze.”
Imagine walking in the night and stumbling with so many lights; could you resist taking a snap?
Crispy and bright, a classic holiday find!
Great contrast with color, not to mention all the details and rich texture captured by the long exposure of so many lights!
Whoa! This is fantastic!
With proper composition and exposure settings, any scene can become an interesting story for a photographer.
“Every year on Christmas morning, we go to the High Country to spend some time in Nature.”
“Someone made this little decoration for me. It made for a fun little photoshoot on a snowy day.”
Interesting way of decorating palm trees!
What You Shouldn't Be Missing From The Light Stalking Community
Philip shared some personal yet interesting thoughts on having a well-defined purpose in photography; take a read and share your own ideas about this “having something to say” topic as well.
Patrick took some new year photos at the Antrim Chase Meet (Charity Group); below is our favorite one, but you can watch them all in the following link.
Tersha shared this colorful card:
In Robert‘s words, “even a fence line yet to be fixed can look peaceful at sunset”:
Steve captured a beautiful scene, “when I woke up and saw dense fog–something a bit unusual in the midlands of South Carolina – I knew I should go out to start my new year. And I did”.
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.
