Delicate pastel tones characterize the current pictures of the day. The mostly winter shots are reminiscent of cooler times before climate change. They feed the desire for a white Christmas or the need to travel freely to one of the popular winter sports areas. Even if we have to do without it this year, our gallery photographers have made a great effort to create a bit of winter mood. We find archive images with snow, cool images of the nocturnal Milky Way, but also wide landscapes, the colors of which fit well into the pre-Christmas season.

These photos are complemented by a high-key photo of flowers and a diva from the Berlin Zoo. All pictures of this week can be found in our gallery again at a glance.

The pictures of the week (KW 51) (7 images) Magnolia bud The picture on Saturday: “Magnolia bud” by gallery photographer Volker Lampe alias camera 66: “The picture comes from a series about magnolia blossoms in high-key technology, which in my opinion is well suited for the delicate blossoms of the magnolia In macro shots the property of symmetry in nature in flowers and leaves was often noticed, I began to experiment with depicting something new, so to speak. The basis was thus an initial image that I mirrored horizontally in a new plane The artistic game began for me by overlaying, shifting the image – whereby different copy-in modes such as multiply, soft light etc. were used in combination with the opacity. The exciting thing is that something new / unknown always arises.

Somi For the original high-key series, I have found another, new, beautiful field of experimentation that I will continue to use, especially since it can also be used with simple image processing programs. ”
