What's Your Favorite Style of Photography? Post a Pic to Support it!

Lets all share the styles of photography that we really enjoy. That can be a niche you're currently photographing or one that you wish you were doing.

I'll start...recently, I've really started to like two distinct styles of photography:

1. Light Leaks
2. Night Long Exposure with Star Streaks

Here's two examples from Flickr photographers I really enjoy.

Light Leaks - Vintage Style

I really like the ones with the stars. i'm looking forward to doing one.

I'm not sure I have a style. If I do, I probably would not recognize it :-) It's mostly catch-as-catch can.

Here are two. I'm not sure there is a trend...

Please limit photos posted to your own unless the original photographer is clearly and explicitly credited with their name and a linkback to the original location of the photo.

I like the surreal look of "Night long exposure with star streaks". Was it really a "night long" exposure?

No particular style, more like Ars Gratia Artus (Art for Art's sake). Any well done photograph. However I prefer not to see people's faces. Would rather see people back on. I usually see people's faces as a distraction. It is probably because I've been shown too many photos of too many peoples loved one's that have absolutely no photographic merit.

I'm hooked on HDR landscape

I really like nudes and landscapes but... this is a G rated site so

Hopefully tasteful enough.

And a landscape.

^^^ Because it's worth stating again...

Does that mean someone posted someone else's picture? ... the plot thickens

No one trying to pass off other's work as their own, but just the OP post some wok he enjoys from other togs. No ill intent, but still, it's da rules.

Asked me next week and I may tell you something different but today I would have to say I like fog photos.

Including your own? and lay off with the nearly correct Latin.
