~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers! 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!

This image brought back memories. I was cycling up the Slovenian alps, right near the border with Austria. I didn't manage to cycle all the way up because it was winter; night would soon approach, at about 4 o'clock. That meant camping somewhere hidden. I found a path, most likely used by local loggers, where I placed the tent over a flat snowy area. Anyways. I was just about ready when I overlooked over the tent to find one of these creatures staring at me from a few trees away. Bloody awesome.

Amazing experience! So cool that you got to see the real thing, and lived to tell the tale. 😄 They seem like gentle creatures actually.

Not sure who felt more scared, me or the animal. I think it was, because by the time I reached the camera inside the tent it darted away.

That sounds like an amazing memory to have! Litguru's whole post is interesting and I'm glad I featured the one image that would have invoked that old memory.

Funny Gif Awww GIF For the mention in hotshots always appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great work everyone! Thanks for including me

Thanks for sharing your shots!

Thanks you really really much for including my work!

Your cat shot would have been in the top 3 if you hadn't already been in the top three so many times the last few weeks. hahaha Keep up the great work.

Many impressive photos!

Thanks for including!

That was a really interesting post. I thought that featured image had a lot of meaning behind it. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... 😇 I've seen some very interesting and impressive things in this new HotShots edition!

That featured shot of your was ethereal! Thanks for sharing

😄 🙌

Thank you so much for the mention ❤❤❤

Nice Party Version! haha

Thank you!

Northern lights are tricky to photograph, and this is a great set from @ablaze.

@fermentedphil has a very artistic touch in these creations.

The black background in these photos by @asklanbudi creates a fantastic effect. It almost feels like underwater photography.

Great picks! FermentedPhil's post was (and usually is) one of my favs! Cheers

Oh, thanks man! I really appreciate your kind words. Always such an honour. I wish I had more time to invest into my photography, but things have been going quite rough lately. Hopefully, things will slow down now. Keep well!

What things have been going rough lately? You don't have to say if you don't want and sorry if you already mentioned in a post I may have missed.

I try not to write about these types of things on Hive because I want to keep it as my creative outlet - so you did not miss anything!

I am in academia and people like to abuse their seniority. I was tasked with a mountain of work which I did not sign up to do, but if your superior, who kind of has the key to your success in their hands, what can you really do? I said yes, and the work literally drained me. This is in addition to trying to finish up the PhD, write articles, and present papers. So in short, I just worked a bit too much and I had a small burnout; retracting various abstracts from seminars, marking papers (which is literally numbing), travelling for the long-distance relationship, and trying to manage where I can still say yes (various opportunities still find their way to me).

Sorry for the long rant haha. But I can slowly feel the creativity return in bits and pieces. I had a good "photographic" weekend. So, expect more from me soon! I hope that you are doing well!

Thanks for the mention! What an honour to be mentioned.

Thank you very much for the mention, I feel very honored to be among so many photographs with great potential. Greetings to all who are part of this post.

Those live events always create moments worth capturing! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for displaying my picture here and I also congratulate the other friends who have been selected here. When will I for all of us to be able to always display beautiful images.

I used to make those same sand castles when i was a kid. Thanks for sharing your shots!

You have been sharing some great shots. I would suggest slowing down just a little and engaging a bit more. More than two posts a day can get spammy... even if they are full of great shots! Keep up the good work and stay excited!
