Surfers, Ghost Town And Nature Photos – The Weekly Light Stalking Community Roundup

Welcome to our weekly community wrap-up.  It’s been another great and exciting week on the Light Stalking forums with some stunning photography by the community.

Here is the Photo Of The Week that is judged by Federico every week. This week’s photo of the week is by Click and you can read about what Federico had to say about this photo in the link here – Photo of the Week – September 05th

The weekend photography challenge from last week was framing cityscapes in interesting ways and members had their creative take on some very interesting shots – some of them are shared below.

Take a look at more submissions here – “Cityscapes Framed“

This week, we have a new challenge that has some very beautiful submissions already. Join the challenge here – “Perspectives Redefined“

If you are someone who captures images with your smartphone, we have a Mobile Photography Challenge where you can post your mobile photos and also check out the works by other photographers. The images must be captured and edited on a smartphone. Join to submit the photos over here. Here are some photos too.

There are also some members’ picks that are featured. These can be chosen by any of the members and are put in a whole new thread of their own and called out as being a great addition and shot for the forums. Check out those stunning captures here.

Patrick started a thread late last year – “Community Inspired Photo Story Challenge” – capture a story in 3 to 6 photos that hold personal significance and post them with a brief description. While that thread was started to be completed within a week, it has been open with ongoing submissions for the past year and is still open where members can post their stories.

Here are some amazing shots from the past week that we thought were great and should be included here:

Steve also shared another fun photo “Long Necked Gremlin scans their domain” that shows how a change in perspective can make a photo very interesting.
