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

Let us start with the Photo Of The Week that is judged by Federico every week. This week’s photo of the week is by Michael. You can read about what Federico had to say about this photo in the link here – Photo of the Week – August 29th

The weekend photography challenge from last week, had some very interesting and creative shots. Take a look at the submissions here – “Framed by Nature”

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

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.

There are also some members’ picks that are featured. These can be chosen by any of the members and are put in 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 till open where members can post their stories.

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

Marty captured some stunning photos of the Canadian geese taking flight from a lake in Michigan. Check out the remaining images here – Geese Taking Flight

Bug On A Bud by Robert Apple. The subjects boast of beautiful contrast and stand out against the beautiful complementary background.

Mango Order, by Rob Eyers is a fun photo and Rob had a very interesting caption for this photo. You can head over to the forums to read and engage in the conversation.

Evening Skies Over The Big Horn Mountains by Robert Apple – See the rest of the images here. Some dramatic sunset sky photos there.

Daniel shared a cute moment of these baby animals.

Elin”s photo of the craters in Snæfellsnes, Iceland, are a treat to the eyes in terms of colours, light and atmosphere.

Rhonda shared a beautiful reflection photo of a sunrise over Lake Louise.

Pat’s photo of a bog landscape with the sunlight shining over it, looks a bit dreamy with the colourful foreground adding more interest and textures.

Max shared a beautifully composed photo of one of the faces in Mount Rushmore, framed through a crevice, looking on onto the mountain, from an interesting perspective.

Elin has used beautiful light in the image below to frame her subject. The light and shadows cast on the pathway work great as a leading line.

Marty’s photo from the Yosemite National Park looks great as if ready to be printed and hung on a wall.

Robert shared this black and white photo of a rocky terrain with so many layers of interesting textures, under beautiful light.

Stylized Sunflower Edit by Patrick is a beautifully executed shot and is processed well. The film look adds more drama and atmosphere to the photo.

Patrick also has a few threads in the forums where he posts his black and white images and other series. They’re very unique, creative and worth a look!

The Ethereal Mist by Light and Shadow looks almost otherworldly.

Rob started a Throwdown: Your Pets – Share photos of your pets here. Rob and Patrick have already shared their pets’ photos.

And, there are images posted in the Shark Tank forum where members request for constructive criticism on their photos.
