Sunsets, blooming plants and clear night skies are some of the things summer has to offer. Our gallery photographers captured them in pictures so you can remember them again now that autumn is setting in and the temperatures are dropping.

“During a discussion in the forum, the user vicia-faba mentioned that there is a dahlia garden in Hamburg that is worth visiting. It is always open and I decided to take a photo tour from 6 pm when the sun is low. A Inspired by the newspaper, I like to use a larger telephoto for flower photos, here is my Tamron 50-400, this offers the advantage of being able to better capture the distance to flowers in public gardens Does,” Alois Nagel (N.Alois) tells us about his colorful creation. ,
The detail of the flower is impressively detailed and the color gradient of the individual small leaves is very attractive. The background, with its mixture of green and orange, matches very well with the slightly lighter flower that stands out. The longer focal length makes the background blurry and not seem so far away. This highlights the dahlia beautifully and allows it to be the center of attention.

Purple, pink and light orange create a dreamy sunset in Secundante’s photo “Berlin.” The hazy train in the foreground reflects strong colors and draws the eye toward the distant horizon, where the colorful spectacle takes place.
The Berlin television tower can be seen in the background, which punctuates the scene and provides the title of the shot. Meanwhile, trains offer a more rustic and industrial feel that connects to the capital’s surroundings.

David Alberts is upset with his photograph “Start”, because there is usually only one person on such a paraglider. So you essentially ask yourself whether someone has fallen here or whether the photographer chose the perspective cleverly. Overall, this definitely seems a bit strange.
The view of the valley and the glowing clouds in the background are also impressive. The colors of the paraglider attract the eye and make it the center of attention.
The photographer says, “This photo was taken in South Tyrol above Meran in late August. It’s actually a snapshot. I was coming back from a hike when I saw this photo.”

Christian Nagel (.christiaN.) shows an impressive astrophotography with the “Weil Nebula” (NGC 6960) image. About the image he explains: “This nebula consists of hot and ionized gas and dust and is located in the Cygnus constellation. This extended cloud is the supernova remnant of a star that exploded 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. Veil Nebula Friendly The sky in August because the orbit is quite high and moves close to zenith, it is advantageous for photography of deep sky objects as there is less influence of the atmosphere than for lower objects. Was. “To collect a total of approximately seven and a half hours of usable exposure time from late July to late August 2024.”
A very interesting scene in which colors come into their own in the black depths of space and create amazing harmony with each other.

Gallery photographer Nikkonwolf was able to capture a bee along the way. The shallow colors in the background enliven the image and contrast the insect so it is well exposed. The shallow depth of field ensures that the head comes into focus and the rest of the body disappears slightly into the blur. The facial hair and details are very clearly visible and are just as impressive when you look closely.

The boat in the image from Lightpix84 is the focus of the shot. With the colorful flags and the contrast of its painting, it becomes the most attractive object in the composition. The light orange hue of the sunset and the gradient of the blue sky complete the scenery.
If you look closely, you’ll see a lone seagull next to the boat, circling the beach, probably looking for the next little snack. This livens up the recording a bit and adds a touch of imperfection and spontaneity.

The fern image from Camera66 impresses with the deep green color and beautiful depth of field. The attention to detail on individual sheets puts them in the spotlight. The incident light makes it stand out more and the background highlights the main subject with its darker appearance.
