sparling

Life is crazy right now and I find myself looking for ways to make my brain relax from time to time… which is why I want to share these photos with you and hopefully you’ll take a little break and look at them, and hopefully feel more relaxed :)

Magnum

Today marks 27 years since the completion of the Good Friday Agreement, signed to help bring an end to the decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles. Magnum photographers documented events that unfolded in Northern Ireland during the conflict, depicting scenes of protest and destruction on the streets, as well as violent clashes between soldiers of the British Army, the Irish Republican Army, and civilians. "As a photographer, when you cover a civil war or a war, it’s not just about the battle and the violence: wars are very complex phenomenons which have aspects that are social, economical, psychological and in this case, religious, as well,” @abbas.photos said of his time covering the events. "So you have to put what you’re seeing — events unfolding — into perspective." 🔗 Read about the conflict from the perspectives of four photographers in the @magnumphotos bio.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Flamingos mid-flight. Volcanoes mid-eruption. Nature hits different with photographer @melzagers 🦩 #MadeWithLightroom "The process starts with photographing the image itself. In landscape photography, I love two things: crazy beautiful landscapes, or I like to keep it minimalistic, so I try to minimize the amount of distractions in a photo. Lightroom gives me the option to play with radial masks to shape light more. In a lot of my photos, you can see a darker foreground and a lighter sky or even blown out sometimes. My most used slider is the clarity slider because it gives me that dreamy look I go for in my photos."
