"Reflect"

When the first snow hits the ground, there is something beautiful about the moment. It's pure magic when the lake is yet to freeze, and the snow has fallen, creating this yin-yang-like view. I've seen it only a few times through my photography journey.

This is my entry to the ITAP contest.

"Reflect" by @mikkolagerstedt 

Arresting beauty. Beautiful, simple composition. The reflection on the water. The lonely pier with a solitary figure. Light-Dark contrast. The lone tree. So much to love.

The revolution will be decentralized! Cast your shot /itookaphoto - /itookavideo - /moviesuggestions - /tvsuggestions - https://linktr.ee/inceptionally

Everyday Saint Lucy

Portraits of domestic workers, my humble attempt to bring to visibility and celebrate hardworking people in our communities worldwide. 

Thank you 🤍

"Everyday Saint Lucy" by @angelikakollin 

This portrait has a mission to bring hardworking people, like domestic workers, to the forefront and celebrate them in our communities worldwide. This soulful image makes the ordinary worker divine.

"Pacific-Redondo-Hollywood-San Gabriel" (NB: named by hosts) by @bay-photography 

It is not shocking that our most popular caster is a winner with this impressively captured single exposure DEEP photo. Remarkable how he was able to show so much in one beautiful shot.

The Beaver Blood Moon 2022

This photo is the culmination of 3 years of lunar practice, both shooting and editing, all in preparation for this  total lunar eclipse ✨

Most importantly, this is the first cloudless eclipse I’ve ever shot, a truly awe-inspiring experience 😌

ITAP while walking back to my truck through an aspen grove.

It started as a vertical pano but I kept going and bent over backwards to get the ground behind me then fell over.  

I have never been able to reproduce it since taking this, and tried so many times... they just don't stitch together.

A different kind of format with mindbending results.
