Welcome to another wrap-up of the wonderful Light Stalking photography community for this week. It’s been another epic week of our members capturing incredible photographs and displaying their creativity. Let’s jump straight in and look at some of the highlights.
The theme for the weekly photography challenge to now has been “Faces of Depth” – and as usual, giving people artistic license on a particular theme has produced some wonderful results.
As usual, Patrick managed to freak us all out with his creativity but this time in a bit of a spooky way.
Pat Garrett had a more conventional approach to the same theme and came up with this lovely portrait.
Robert Apple decided to pull out the macro lens — and I think you’ll agree, the results were well worth the effort.
Elin Laxdal always keeps the quality of her images extremely high, and her approach to the theme this week continues that same spirit and quality.
And we can’t not mention Patrick’s new little friend — who got quite a lot of love on the forum this week too.
Photo of the Week
Coincidentally, Michael submitted this image to the weekly photography challenge and managed to snag the Photograph of the Week. This one was judged by Federico, who has shown a real affection for pushing visual boundaries through artistic creativity lately — and I think this image is a perfect example of that. Well done to Michael.
There were also a few other non-challenge related images that are worth a callout.
Daniel Kreuger gave us this great attempt at bug macro photography that I thought was well worth another look.
Another one that needed to be called out was by Light and Shadow, who has been experimenting with his black-and-white work lately.
What are your thoughts on AI and photography?
Personally, I’m starting to get a little bit freaked out. I did an experiment after reading somebody else’s attempt at AI photography on TikTok and immediately shot a selfie with no setup whatsoever. I simply took it where I stood and uploaded it with a detailed prompt to ChatGPT. Here are the before and after:
Don’t get me wrong — it’s not perfect — but wow, that is an incredible outcome and has me a little bit worried for some elements of our craft.
