Outstanding Photographers: a curated collection

Bursting with energy, Bob Harbison's photos [ https://www.bobharbison.com/ ] bounce off the screen, pouncing on the viewer with color and style.  He shows an extraordinary dedication to his craft and his public. It appears Bob doesn't ask for help moderating Communities until they reach, say, about 300,000 followers! Thanks from hundreds of thousands of us for doing what you do, Bob! Among others, Bob Harbison's Communities and Groups include: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nikonphotographs/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/rrphotos/  

"Springtime Blues" Wisconsin Horizons By Phil Koch. Master of the echo, Phil Koch's "Horizons" series frequently splits the frame in roughly equal parts, with the lower "earthly" segment reflecting what's going on above. Here, the smooth, ice-covered rocks reflect the orderly altocumulus clouds above in contour, tone and pattern. Phil's profile page [ https://phil-koch.pixels.com/ ] has many more examples of his creations, and a few surprises mixed in there, too. Phil says: "I created the series of Horizons in 2010 as photographic journey through the landscapes of Wisconsin. I rarely shoot in the same location as the sun rises and find the meadows that most just drive by without a second thought as the best place to wait and watch."

John Suler's Flickr Albums page (partial view) John Suler's perceptions are well worth your time considering. He is both observing and participating in the world of cyber photography. "It's a composition, stupid!" He wrote (perhaps with your help if you commented) a book that strives to take full advantage of social media. On Flickr John describes the project: "My whole photostream is an ongoing meditation on photographic psychology: how we create, share, and react to images, especially concerning digital photography and online photosharing, like here in flickr. "This set in Flickr contains some of my more highlighted aspects of Photographic Psychology, including essays that appear in my online book "Photographic Psychology: Image and Psyche." It’s a book about the design, interpretation, and psychological impact of visual images based on photography. As a psychologist, I will bring ideas from my field into this explorat

Maria Salvador's old Google+ site (above) gives an idea of the quality & breadth of her work. Maria Salvador makes it tough to choose a favorite! Whether it comes to Flowers or Photographers Maria's posts are exquisitely selected. She is not afraid of tackling unusual subjects. From Photo album: Pixels dance - composites, collages & other textures on MeWe Sylvester, the dragon "Sylvester is a dreamer. He loves the ocean and sometimes he dreams of a world where the dolphins fly and the dragons dive and play together..." by Maria Salvador Maria Salvador is moving off Google +. Here is her final post on her "Flowers for Love" Google+ Collection: "Google+ seems to be falling down by pieces, so this will be my last post. You may find me, if you want, on Mewe: https://mewe.com/profile/5bc70b66a5f4e501fdeb3889 , where I met some nice Communities of photographers from G, and also on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/pho

Red sunset San Vigilio - Bergamo, Italy Exploring frontiers While some of us push the limits of B&W photography and others explore color, Paolo Dalprato, Photographer investigates the intersection of the two. His Collections cover some unusual subjects. A sampling of Collections on the Dalprato Galleries page Paolo has a lot to say about his philosophy of photography in the "About" link on his old Google+ Profile page: " I have a very emotional approach to photography , I am convinced that the knowledge of the technique is fundamental, but it is just a tool to use to say something or convey emotions or just represent beauty... " I also work in the music and most of the pictures are related to That environment, taken mostly during concerts of classical music but also jazz musicians, buskers and tango dancers. In this case, I try to portray the artist and not the person, in other words I portray the personage. And if there is even the musica

Icebergs | Dead, ahead Lago Argentina - Provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina Themes thread their way through a photographer's work.  Mark Hurn organizes his work into Collections. My favorite on Google+ was "Argentina...," a grand introduction to the country and its unique phenomena. Collections are stated themes, conscious, open and declared. Throughout Mark's work, however, runs another theme, private, deeper and more fascinating. He frequently expresses it as a personal characteristic on his posts, " I'm posting tonight instead of tomorrow, as I don't think I shall have time then... " Photography is a gift of time. Mark comments: "Some of this planet is still truly mesmerising... so can we lose the ego and stop destroying it now, while we're still here? Walk when you can, drive a smaller car, acclimatise to where you live and if you need an air conditioner, set it high (I use 30° C in summer). "Algunas partes de est
