HOTSHOTS ~ 1/15/25

~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

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!

Wow, what a great selection of high-quality and perspective photos. I think we have magnificent photographers in our community, both professional and amateur, who do a good job. Although I imagine that you have taken quite a while to make this selection due to the large number of publications. Congratulations on your work. Thank you.

I loved how the billboard in the background has a mom and daughter spraying the waterhose at the exact place the runners are passing through the mist! I don't know if that was intentional but the framing of that composition and the happenstance of the possibility even being available is miraculous!

I have to admit, my dear friend @castleberry... That billboard was there three months before the half marathon and it was really a coincidence. But when I found out that the water hose would be installed in that area, three days before, I went to the location and looked for a good angle. And I found it 😉😉

Great photographs throughout. Tripleshot is an excellent dog portrait. Interesting effects by kareoh I think it gives a vintage look like the soft hollywood shots. Thanks for including my post 🙏🙏

I couldn't resist the cattails! Hahaha have you ever seen any of the funny videos of people trying to eat one of those things like a corndog? Let's just say it never turns out well but it's awfully funny to see. hahaha

Stef's dog post was full of amazing shots and some moving words to accompany and Kareoh's shots turned out really cool with a bit of improv on the equipment to achieve such an effect! Thanks for taking the time to comment your thoughts on the shots! Cheers
