worth taking a look at. Breathtaking and majestic!

[Spoiler Alert]

That's amazing man. where do you find stuff like this.

[Bjun]

That's amazing. It almost looks like it was taken from another planet. I just love these types of pictures. It reminds me that there's still a lot of things I haven't seen and places I am yet to visit.

How about this one...I've always been amazed by the vastness of the heavens...I mean its all waiting for us. beckoning us...ready to be explored!!!

Wow. I'm not much into photography, but wow.

[Spoiler Alert]

Sometimes, we just have to sit back and admire...there isn't much else we can do!

[Bjun]

Wow, those are really great pics.The stars really popped out without light pollution. A lot of astrophotography I've seen were done away from the city. However, with the quarantine, it might be the best time to try astrophotography from the comforts of your own home (and backyard).

Might be worth to try the tips from Astrobackyard to get you started on astrophotography with light pollution: https://astrobackyard.com/astrophoto...ght-pollution/

[Bjun]

Yes, this definitely counts. Is this your work? It feels like they actually see me through the screen.

i just stumbled across this thread.

I can identify with the Mama deer. I have my eye on those eyeing my baby. I'll always be behind my kids, supporting them, protecting them, keeping an eye out for danger.

Make you want to drop everything and take up photography full time.

[Bjun]

Yes, I've also fantasized about travelling the world taking pictures of beautiful places and people. Sadly, I am not brave enough and just settle with taking holiday pics. xD

Such great pictures! I don't think these are raw images though, definitely some editing was involved, just not with photoshop maybe. It definitely shows that photoshop is not required for great photos. I love how clear the photos are. I tried with my DSLR but I need to edit it a bit or maybe I just haven't learnt the right settings yet.

I always enjoy looking at these websites. It will always make you wonder when and how did they manage to take these amazing photographs that shows either the world's beauty or cruelty.

My favourites are these yearly portfolios from nat geo and time.

I am obsessed with sunsets. I like the dramatic colours that come with it, those transitions from light to dark. It can be tricky to get that perfect shot though.

For those who enjoy sunsets, here are some sunset shots and tips on how to take good sunset photos: https://www.thephotoargus.com/beauti...t-photography/

I love black and white photos. They tend to focus more on the subject, less on the techniques and compositions, and the interplay of lights and shadows on the subject immerse the viewers with the intended emotions.

Here are some great white and black photos I found online https://iso.500px.com/best-of-2015-t...-white-photos/

I checked out all the pages you recommended and I just lost track of time. 😁 Keep those references coming. I enjoy looking at the world from the photographers' eyes.

Recently, I found myself binging Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. They're both known comedy/tragedy drama series that has earned a seat in the best of TV shows. I realized, most of its charm revolves around how discreet or how skillful the scenes are cut.

For those who want a cinematic eye in storytelling with film or photography, I'd recommend both those shows because it applies immersive angling and placement to put hints across.
