The Last Week Uncovered: Snapshot Stories from the Shutter Scene

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 619th challenge on Using Analogous Colours! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!

Photo Of The Week – December 5th, 2022

Words by Jasenka Grujin

This week we had very cool candidates for POTW, and it wasn’t easy to make the final choice. I picked this shot by @michael because of its poetic value and dramatic colors, while Federico suggested this rather subtle image by @rgatscha.
I attached both of them, and congrats to Michael and Rose Marie!

What Are Our Members Up To?

Pour some coffee or tea and enjoy our favourite photos using analogous colours!

A joyful example of how analogous colours can help build a story from a single shot!

Lens flare can be used intendedly or just be there as happy accidents. Nevertheless, this landscape gets all of the attention thanks to the artifacts enhancing the scene.

Few details are enough to tell a story strikingly!

Great use of organic lines to compose a rather ordinary scene, colours are perfectly balanced, and the image comes alive with the two birds gathering around.

Smile to the Orange Skipper!

Notice the trippy focus upon this soothing mixture of yellow and green?

Not only colours but also light play a key role in crafting a visual masterpiece like this!

The jumping flower power!

We'd Love To Hear Your Thoughts

Here, you'll get your work critiqued by plenty of well-intended people, but you'll also have the chance to critique your peers. We truly believe in the power of criticism and feedback. Here are some of the most interesting shots shared during the last week:

The Shark Tank is a great place to learn and discuss, so please read the instructions to get a better critique experience. Share your comments, opinions and doubts on any or all of the images above. We also will be delighted to see some of your images. Don't be shy; critiques are given to photographs and not photographers.
