orthodox monks playing in the snow on mount athos, greece (2015) “it was the first snow in seven years. it was just after breakfast. the monks showed excellent throwing skills, despite their lack of experience. after a short while, all the snow on the ground had been used, and everybody went back to their rooms as if nothing had happened. it was quite a unique experience.” via @timetobehave

🏆 Featured in the 500px BEST 10 Awards 2024 – Photo Series of the Year ❄️ When snow falls, everything becomes tender. "Where Earthly Love Settles Low 人间的爱都落向低处" by 孔若琛 Ruochen Kong is a moving photo series captured at 4,200m in the highlands of Yushu, Qinghai. In the hush of a surprise spring snowfall, yak, birds, children, and family share the same quiet space—where love isn’t loud, but soft, humble, and all-encompassing. A poetic meditation on nature, care, and the gentleness found in stillness. #photography #photographer #photooftheday
#CanonPartner Three lenses. Endless landscapes. 📷🌄 As a travel and outdoor content creator that creates both photo and video, I need lenses that are portable, durable, and can create at a high level every time I use them. Whether shooting wide vistas, cinematic scenes, or capturing the details in between, these three Canon RF lenses were built with creative versatility in mind: The RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM The RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM And the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM Each of these lenses delivers smooth, silent autofocus, a lightweight, portable, durable build, and optical image stabilization built into the lens— so your shots stay steady, sharp, and stunning. #CanonCreator #ShotOnCanon

“I am frustrated by both exposure-scale limitations and rigid film-color response. As ‘reality’ is out of the question, I can indulge myself with explorations of the ‘unreal’ color which may or may not have intriguing aesthetic effects. I would not want ‘post-card’ realism, but I would enjoy ‘enhancements’ of the colors which I fear is not possible with conventional material today.... The scope of control with the electronic image has not been explored, but I feel confident astonishing developments await us in this area.“ — A.A.
