The photo was taken at an event for photographers and models called the Wolimierz Outdoor Sessions, held in a beautiful, magical location near the Polish-Czech border. For this shot, I used a single light source and a twelve-point star filter. During editing, the photo was converted to black and white. Pointing the camera and lens towards the light created this incredible star effect. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Cooling Down by Leanne Lindsay

Sydney Sizzles, But "Cooling Down" Offers a Moment of Bliss. Sydney's notorious heat turned the afternoon into a furnace. People were like wilting flowers, desperately seeking any sliver of shade. Every crowded cafe terrace boasted misters working tirelessly to battle the sun's fury. As I strolled along the Opera House's covered walkway, a different kind of scene unfolded before me. Sunlight, like a celestial spotlight, sliced through the swirling mist, painting the faces of those seeking refuge beneath its refreshing veil. Their silhouettes were haloed in a soft glow, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. In the midst of the stifling heat, this corner offered a brief respite, a moment of captivating calm.
