lens-artists: what astonishes you

The beauty of the world as seen through a camera’s lens. I’ve found over the years that a simple photo walk opens one to the amazing beauty of the world…seen as if it is the first time.

The art of photography transforms a current photograph to an image that looks as if it was created during the 1960-1970s.

How a camera’s setting will add a dimension of unique art…

  1. Thank you for responding to the Lens-Artists challenge with your amazing gallery. You have shown us the beauty of the world as seen through a camera lens is truly astonishing.

  2. I really connected with your idea that a simple photo walk can make the world feel as if we’re seeing it for the first time. That sense of renewal is something you captured beautifully in this gallery. There’s a quiet attentiveness running through the images that feels very intentional, almost contemplative. I was especially drawn to the way you explored the “1960–1970s” feel. The tonal choices and softness in some of the frames genuinely evoke that era without feeling forced or nostalgic for the sake of it. It’s subtle, more about mood than imitation, which makes it work. And your note about camera settings adding a new artistic dimension really comes through in the contrasts between the color and monochrome images. The monochrome pieces, in particular, strip the scene down to composition and light in a way that reinforces your point about astonishment being found in the ordinary. A thoughtful and cohesive response to the challenge—both visually and conceptually.
