The night sky reminds us of a vast space apart from ours.  Many have looked up into the sky thinking of dreams that are waiting to be reached.  This week, I am excited to share to you all, our gallery showcasing the Night Sky!

Some members have used it as their main focus while others have made it their amazing backdrop. Whichever way, what you will see are the beauty of the heavens all lit up.

Everywhere we look the world presents symmetry, in our faces, a flower pattern, the branch of a tree and even the sprawling buildings around us.  This week’s gallery we asked our members to share their photos with a symmetry theme.

Our heartfelt thanks to our contributing members!

“I hear the noise of many waters, Far below.  All day, all night, I hear them flowing ,To and fro.” – James Joyce

Joyce undeniably chose the right words to describe the calming sound of water. Water can bring the same feeling of peace in photos. Looking into these will certainly awaken memories of your youth while you play sand along the shores with your family, trips you took to reflect about life, great adventures.

This week’s gallery  are like mementos we keep to remind us about the beauty of life and nature.

Kudos to our PMC members!

This week we bring to you a collection of long exposure images from our PMC members. With this camera technique you can get water that is silky smooth, elongated city lights, hazy atmosphere and pure serenity. It feels like you are frozen in time!

Many thanks to our PMC members, if it wasn’t for active contributors like you, we wouldn’t successfully pull this off.

As sheaths of ice begin to cover the grounds, the cold is a healthy reminder for us to give thanks for the warmth we receive inside the comfort of our homes surrounded by our loved ones.

This week we re-ignited our weekly themed photos in the Photo Mastery Club forum. After a bit of a hiatus, members treated us to a beautiful collection of rather chilly images.

A big thanks to our PMC family for these stunning photos!
