Thanks to @doze for the awesome new graphics and footer! I have set you as a 5% beneficiary for this post's total payout as a thank you. Your contribution is most appreciated. I hope everyone enjoys your graphics as much as i do!
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!

Thank you so much @castleberry @badge-696969 appreciate the features and I love checking out all the work from others in this amazing photography community. We got a lot of talent here and its refreshing to see it all, especially because its all over the world, different countries and lifestyles, not to mention all the styles of photography. Keep up the good work everyone, keep getting them awesome shot's in. Do what you love....
I had heard about that place you visited... but now i have seen it. Those burgers on the menu looked super good. Great shots and thanks for taking the time to comment and encourage! Cheers brother!
Always Brother, its easy for me to encourage with so much good talent here, I have lived in four different countries and living in other cultures have been a blessing and made me who I am today. So seeing all this photography from others, really good photography, gives me good vibes and that feel good not to mention it motivate me to go out and get better and better. As for the burger, yes so far my favorite I ever had for sure.
Thank you!
No, Thank you! haha
Sundog! wow I didn't even know what a sundog was, incredible capture. Thanks for including my photos 🙏
Some think that's where the solar cross comes from. Sundogs are supposed to be super rare though i have seen a couple partial ones here in South Sweden since moving here from Texas. Your 'tree' was an awesome shot too! Thanks for sharing and commenting!
All photos selected are totally gorgeous and I love being around once again. Thanks!
It's always a pleasure to include your awesome shots! Cheers
Thanks buddy!
As always great set of photographies here! 👌
This was a particularly good round. Thanks again for the graphics. I really think they enhanced the post's format.
Thank you so much for the support. As always, great curation work. I´m glad to be selected again
You are very welcome! You always have some great shots. Thanks for sharing them here with us!
Thank you! Some really awesome shots today, so glad to be included :)
You always bring some great stuff to the proverbial table! Thanks for your contributions!
Huh!!! The chapel and the light 😃 Thanks! How do you explain that btw?
Maybe @lightcaptured or one of our other amazing LightPainters would know?!
I suppose that long-exposure photograph is inspired by the Christian tradition to go three times around the church with lighted candle at the night of Easter.
It's no mystery to me, @castleberry :)
A tripod is needed and a camera with Bulb mode (for the most cameras the longest exposure time in Manual mode is limited to 30 seconds). Here, also, I am certain the ISO is set to the minimal value of the camera (most probably ISO 100). Another important aspect to consider, if the lens has buil-in optical stabilization, it has to turned off. The process may need some experimenting as the full exposure depends to the ambient light so what I would change to find the best exposure, would be the aperture. Values of f/8 or f/11 or smaller would do, but of course, if it is a bigger church it will take more time to make those three rounds and thus, it will require even small aperture values.
I hope this shed some light :)
Those posts are spectacular, always varied and with good work. Thank you very much for the support! ❤️ I see myself more and more present at the HOTSHOTS, I'm happy to be able to present you with good work 🥺🥰
Thanks for the support!
