“I Cannot Believe I Caught This”: 50 Times People Couldn’t Believe The Beauty They Managed To Capture In A Photo
It’s all about the perspective. Without photography to challenge, excite, and inspire us, the world would be a far sadder and darker place. It warms our hearts to know for a fact that the world is filled to the brim with photography enthusiasts—amateur and veteran alike. We wouldn’t be Bored Panda if we didn’t give beautiful and original photos their time in the spotlight now, would we?
That’s where the ‘I Took a Picture’ (ITAP) online group comes in. A community numbering over 4.1 million users, r/itookapicture is a subreddit that is dedicated to giving and getting feedback on original photography. The photos that these redditors post are ridiculously good, and we wanted to share some of the best ones with you today, dear Pandas. They’re powerful. They’re a bit unusual. And they are so beautiful, they might just inspire you to dust off your old camera (or wipe off your smartphone lens).
Scroll down to see the best of the best, upvote your fave pics, and be sure to write a friendly comment or two to let everyone know what exactly it was that you like about the photos.
Bored Panda got in touch with professional photographer Dominic Sberna, from the United States, for a chat about developing confidence in your skills, whether it's still possible to create original work, and how to deal with harsh criticism. The photographer pointed out that taking active steps in honing your craft, without overthinking, is a vital component of success. Your confidence in your work will grow alongside your skills.

ITAP Of A Sunset And A Powerline Over 2 Hours
Lauren S 3 years ago
For people asking how they did this, it says they took photos of this shot over 2 hours.m while the sun was setting. It looks like they then edited the photos all together taking pieces from each shot and fitting them in the spaces between the power lines. It’s interesting to see the spectrum of colors displayed over the course of a sunset. 🌅

Hey BP, every single ad on every single article is a dating site for meeting "Ukrainian single women with traditional values". Can we stop the exploitation of these vulnerable women and stop showing these ads please???

Yikes, that is horrible. You can report an advertisement if you click on the "X" in the right-hand corner of the ad. It will bring up several options: "Ad options"/"Send feedback" and "Why this ad?". If you click on the "Send feedback option" it give you the option to report that the ad is inappropriate.
