Vignette: Temple Photographer
If you’re not a photographer, you might be wondering what a vignette is. In photography, a vignette is a editing technique that puts a border of light or darkness around the subject. It’s sole purpose is to draw your eye to the subject.

Everyone’s photos are different yet connected through a common theme. You get a glimpse into the life and mind of each photographer.
This month, our theme is “Colors of Summer.” I originally was going to post these images and call it a day:
