Tucson Twilight by Jack HoyeTucson Twilight by Jack Hoye
This photo was taken using Apple iPhone during the summer of 2023 outside of Tucson, Arizona, Untied States. This image features views of a cacti covered hillside from the windows and balconies of a hotel hidden in the outer limits of the Tucson area. I was taken aback by the natural occurring light and composition of this area during nightfall.
Art in The Tunnel by Wilfried ClausArt in The Tunnel by Wilfried Claus
The pedestrian tunnel crosses under the two tracks of the small station of Pulheim, a medium-sized town west of Cologne. The special feature of the tunnel is located on the side walls: an art installation by Sigrid Lange, an artist from North Rhine-Westphalia. The frieze of pictures shows individual people brought to the fore as walkers or jogging or similar, just like the two passers-by with dogs coming towards the photographer. As in many other cities, graffiti defaces the white walls.
Sail the Seven Seas by Leanne LindsaySail the Seven Seas by Leanne Lindsay
Will you sail the seven seas with me? The rain was putting on a steady performance outside my window this afternoon, and I felt a surge of creative energy. It was the perfect opportunity to take out my camera and play with some of its features I hadn't quite gotten around to yet. I also had this idea for a photo that had been brewing for a while, and today felt like the right day to bring it to life!
So, I grabbed an old book and a well-loved paper boat, the kind I used to make as a kid. Strangely enough, when I opened the book randomly, it happened to open up to an ancient map of the world. I arranged the book and boat on a table near the window, letting the soft, diffused light from the rain-covered sky bathe them in a gentle glow.
Focusing on a shallow depth of field helped blur the background and really make the paper boat the star of the show, creating a miniature world for the little paper boat to sail in.
