Nice photograph from Jos Buurmans. The layers are interesting, but the shadow on the grass and the bit of light on the sand in front of it make it sing.

Gary Nylander shares a link to his updated website… and a photograph featuring some very beautiful light.

It is generally easy to recognize one of Sophie Carr’s motion-blur sea images right away.

I enjoy watching the season transitions of photographic subjects on a platform like this. I sense that the autumn images area starting to wind down (despite me posting one today!), and I’m starting to see more that include snow and ice.

Lillian Schönberger says getting this required a two hour wait. That’s not uncommon, and often the conditions will look fairly drab before things light up briefly at sunset.

A fascinating monochrome photograph from Alina Hagen.

I photograph building reflections and I do very long exposures, but I love how Arnau Bolet puts the two ideas together in this photograph.

This Rachel Talibart photograph is a study in minimalist form.

I loathe curves and textures of this Roger Kristiansen photograph. The inclusion of the pebble is important, too. (I photograph similar formations in Death Valley and along the California coast.)

Kilian Schönberger's photograph captures one of my favorite set of conditions: low fog that is thin enough to still produce directional light.

Eric Girouard's photograph almost gives the plant the quality of molten metal.
