Thank-you Anna, you will get to Narnia, courtesy of some terrible image composition :-)

Composite image of a wardrobe and a street scene with a lamp, made for Anna.

Last Light #Vertical #BlueSkyArtShow #peergroupweekly #ArtYear #Edinburgh #ClassicMono #Photography

A stark black and white night photograph featuring a single tall street lamp rising vertically through the center of the frame. The lamp's bright light creates a pronounced glow against the deep black sky. Below, an empty paved area and metal fencing are barely visible in the darkness, with distant house lights dotting the far background. The composition is dominated by negative space, emphasizing the solitary vertical element.

Rising #Vertical #BlueSkyArtShow #ClassicMono #Photography

A dramatic black and white upward view of a curved modern building facade with a repetitive grid of windows. The illuminated curved structure rises vertically through the center of the frame, flanked by darker building masses on either side. At the bottom, geometric bright shapes provide contrast, while the composition emphasizes the towering vertical ascent of the architecture.

Graduated Geometry #MinimalMonday #Monochrome #Photography

A minimalist architectural photograph showing six square recessed windows arranged in a horizontal line across a pale wall. The windows graduate in size from small on the left to large on the right, creating a rhythmic progression. Each opening reveals a dark interior that contrasts sharply with the light-colored wall, while subtle gradients of shadow transition from the bright frames into the black depths.

🙏This was a fortunate shot, it was day time! Even though I don't have the right lenses for a close-up, they are good enough to capture the detail.

Thank-you Anna, I want to get into some night time work and my lenses are not quite good enough for the shots I want (this image isn't great if you pixel peep), I need to invest in some new glass ideally capable of around f1.4.

Urban #Glow #BlueSkyArtShow #peergroupweekly #ArtYear #Edinburgh #Photography

A black and white photograph captured at twilight showing an urban landscape dominated by artificial glow. The foreground is a large, dark open field with a solitary silhouetted figure standing in the vast empty space. Across the middle distance, a row of mature trees creates a dark barrier, behind which multiple street lamps and sports lights create brilliant star-burst effects - the urban glow piercing through the dusk. A construction crane rises on the right, and low buildings line the horizon beneath dramatic clouds where natural light is fading. The image captures that threshold moment when the city's artificial illumination overtakes the last natural light, creating a complex interplay between darkness and urban radiance.

Borrowed Light #Glow #BlueSkyArtShow #skygazing #Photography

A black and white photograph with stark, minimal composition. A nearly full moon occupies the upper-center portion of the frame, glowing with reflected sunlight against the deep black sky. The moon appears luminous and textured with visible surface details - a borrowed radiance rather than its own light source. The moon is small in the frame, emphasizing its isolation in the vast darkness. In the lower third of the image, silhouetted tree branches or foliage create an organic, irregular dark mass, their details rendered as pure black shapes against the slightly lighter sky. The overall effect is one of quiet solitude and dramatic tonal contrast between the moon's reflected glow and the surrounding darkness.

Indeed, there is a good core of participants, I can also put up some more detailed engagement stats - Behind these basic graphs are some serious amounts of likes, and re-posts, when you total them you get into millions!
