~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers, sorry for the edit! Welcome to another curation report featuring the community HotShots! where we have compiled some of your amazing photos to show off to the world!

Please take some time to review the entire post and go check out the rest of the images of features you like. Since we only share one featured image of many from your amazing posts, some of the best images are within the rest of the posts and we don't want you to miss the beauty!

Plus, you never know when your time to get featured may come and we are sure you would enjoy the same level of community support! So, make sure to support your fellow photographers because without you all, this community would not be possible.

Now, after curating diligently and sifting through the community's posts, here are the curation selections to share with you all. Keep up the great work for your chance to be in the next round of curation!

[steven-patrick]

Epic compilation. Two great sun shots in triple shots and neither was eclipse 😎 and a bird shot for the third. Some great bird shots from @shoemanchu this week also. Thanks for including my post.

[castleberry]

There were some excellent eclipse shots. But I had to do what I had to do... hahaha

[barnabo73]

Thank you!

[castleberry]

No, Thank You! You will be getting 6% of the post's total payout for getting that top HotShot thumbnail spot. Both of your posts were excellent. The last shot in your second post was well put together and your text was thought-provoking. I hope everyone swings by to go see them!

[barnabo73]

Wow! I'm very happy my post is appreciated! It has been a unique and deep experience for me, not only for the pictures, but mainly for the soul.

[castleberry]

I could tell it was an amazing experience! I really liked reading the science behind what we see when looking at the Northern Lights. It made more sense after reading your explanation. It was also very interesting to consider the limitations on both ends of the visual spectrum for human eyes.

I have often questioned what is real, visually, since we don't see things we look at but we see the light absorbed or reflected back. So, all we see is parts of light and not the actual things we think we are looking at. What else may dwell or lurk in the areas outside the spectrum of human sight? What makes something visually real?

Like... if there is no light to illuminate is there anything actually there in the abyss of darkness? Weird ponderings I have had since my youth. Your post brought back some of those thoughts!

[barnabo73]

Interesting question. It's true, we can see only light emitted or reflected by the things. We can't see any objects, but only light from objects. Our vision is only perception, vision has nothing to do with reality. Not only, also time is an human perception. Time doens't exist in physics. What you feel as 'time', is only an increasing of entropy (disorder), and if we live in an universe where nothing happens, time would hasn't sense. So we can't access to reality and truth. There is also truth in our dream (the dream we do during night), every feeling contains a bit of truth, but I can't say what truth really is. We live in the Platone cave. Another example: a star in the nighty sky appears to us as white, but stars has a specific colors due to its temperature: from red (lower temperature) to blue (higher temperature), but we see stars as white: there is an hidden and misterious beauty we can't access with senses.

[castleberry]

Yes, black being the absorption of all color and white being the reflection of all color makes things interesting. I have always thought about how white and black aren't actually colors which is weird to consider.

I have had a love for astronomy and have always felt that the physics and chemistry behind stars is fascinating. Perception and our ability to comprehend reality and truth is a very deep subject to think on and discuss.

I could talk about all this stuff for days on end. Thanks for sharing similar interests and writing back as much as you did. I really enjoy these kinds of exchanges!

[barnabo73]

I love astronomy me too and I have a degree in physics, my second passion after photography.

[triplug]

Thank you very much.

[castleberry]

The angle of that shot and the framing were well done! I loved seeing the flags. Your post was really cool and I hope everyone goes to check it out! Cheers

[triplug]

I am very glad that you liked this picture, honestly I like this picture too, especially the way the sunlight falls on the top of the building at sunset.

I hope to have the opportunity to photograph the Cultural Palace inside because it is spectacular.

This time I didn't have access inside because I didn't have a ticket to the event that was taking place there.

Once again, thank you and see you at the next one.

[castleberry]

Yes, that sunlight made a nice contrast in color for the shot and gave even more dimensionality to the framing. Since you didn't go inside, now you have a perfect reason to go back again! hahaha
You are welcome and looking forward to seeing you on the next one. Cheers my friend.

[triplug]

That's right, it seems that this Palace of Culture will give me another chance to visit it inside at some point.

Greetings from Romania my friend.

[vonlecram]
