🙏This was a fortunate shot, it was day time! Even though I don't have the right lenses for a close-up, they are good enough to capture the detail.

Thank-you Anna, I want to get into some night time work and my lenses are not quite good enough for the shots I want (this image isn't great if you pixel peep), I need to invest in some new glass ideally capable of around f1.4.

Urban #Glow #BlueSkyArtShow #peergroupweekly #ArtYear #Edinburgh #Photography

A black and white photograph captured at twilight showing an urban landscape dominated by artificial glow. The foreground is a large, dark open field with a solitary silhouetted figure standing in the vast empty space. Across the middle distance, a row of mature trees creates a dark barrier, behind which multiple street lamps and sports lights create brilliant star-burst effects - the urban glow piercing through the dusk. A construction crane rises on the right, and low buildings line the horizon beneath dramatic clouds where natural light is fading. The image captures that threshold moment when the city's artificial illumination overtakes the last natural light, creating a complex interplay between darkness and urban radiance.

Borrowed Light #Glow #BlueSkyArtShow #skygazing #Photography

A black and white photograph with stark, minimal composition. A nearly full moon occupies the upper-center portion of the frame, glowing with reflected sunlight against the deep black sky. The moon appears luminous and textured with visible surface details - a borrowed radiance rather than its own light source. The moon is small in the frame, emphasizing its isolation in the vast darkness. In the lower third of the image, silhouetted tree branches or foliage create an organic, irregular dark mass, their details rendered as pure black shapes against the slightly lighter sky. The overall effect is one of quiet solitude and dramatic tonal contrast between the moon's reflected glow and the surrounding darkness.

I agree Anna, lying in a field under the sun, watching the clouds float by is a wonderful way to relax.

Inhale #Relax #BlueSkyArtShow #Composite #Photography

This photograph is taken from ground level (a field in France), looking out across a wild meadow on a peaceful summer day. The foreground is filled with lush green grasses, wildflowers including delicate white Queen Anne's lace, and tall stems reaching upward. Beyond this intimate tangle of vegetation, an expansive green field stretches to the distant horizon where a line of trees marks the edge. Above, soft white clouds drift across a gentle blue sky. The low perspective invites you to lie back in the grass and simply be present in this quiet, unhurried moment.

Exhale #Relax #Sky #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography

This photograph captures an expansive evening sky filled with soft, billowing clouds in soothing layers of coral, peach, and orange, contrasted against calming blues and greys. The warmest light glows through the center of the composition, creating a sense of gentle release as day transitions to evening. The vast openness invites a deep breath and a moment of pause.

Intervals of Light #WindowsOnWednesday #Abstract #Minimalist #Photography

A high-contrast black and white photograph capturing window light casting geometric shadows across a surface. Brilliant white rectangular shapes—light streaming through window panes—cut diagonally across a deep black background, creating a dynamic composition of sharp angles. The light forms appear slightly soft at their edges, with subtle texture and gradation visible within the illuminated areas. The diagonal orientation creates strong visual movement from lower right to upper left. The interplay between the stark black shadows and bright white light creates a bold, graphic pattern that transforms the ordinary phenomenon of window light into pure geometric abstraction.

I'm more worried about what might emerge... :-)

Aperture #MinimalMonday #Monochrome #Abstract #Photography

A stark, minimalist composition in monochromatic tones featuring a perfect circular void or opening centered in the frame. The circle appears as deep black, creating a strong focal point against textured surfaces. The upper portion shows a darker, rough-textured surface, while the lower section reveals lighter, more granular terrain with grass-like textures emerging from the bottom edge. The image has a dramatic, almost abstract quality with strong contrast between the void and its surrounding materials.

Like life, the image is an interconnected mystery, Anna :-) Are all paths not bright until you have travelled them, only to find some are in fact darker than others?
