Photography hobbyists and aficionados unite.

Welcome to the thread where you can display and discuss some of the most iconic photos captured by some of the most talented photographers.

These aren't your average Instagram photos. Oh no. These are the ones that live in your head rent free. The Marie Kondo of photos that spark joy. Where everything in the photo is perfection.

This thread is meant to be fun, light-hearted, and showcase the talents of those behind the lens.

Please do not derail, and do not use this thread to be snarky or have a dig about subjects you don't like, or to other posters. If you cannot keep in the spirit of the thread, then please don't participate or spoil it for others.

I'm not a royalist by any means, but these are wonderful photos

Same. The photos are great though and I’m enjoying looking at them, there’s quite a few I’ve never seen.

I think the Harry and Meghan one in the rain is fabulous.

The Queen sitting on her own at the funeral always makes me feel sad. It wasn’t very long ago really but at the same time, covid seems a distant memory now.

Kate does do funerals well as a pp said. She obviously suits black but obviously she’s usually in something brighter.

And Charles looking quite hot...who knew! 🤣

That's OK. It's all subjective. As I said, I like the shapes and lines of it.

I like it too. 😊

Not particularly beautiful shots or anything, more just funny.
I've no idea what she'd done, but I like how she looks like she's maybe just smashed a window or something

That's a great photo not seen that one before. I like William's reaction too 😂😂😂

ShirleyPhallus · 06/03/2024 20:12

Beautiful photos, bravo everyone!

From the Olympics. Absolutely gorgeous.

Catherine's 40th portrait was so lovely.

If you didn't know the subject, you might think that was a portrait taken in Edwardian times. Very atmospheric.

That has always been one of my favorites

Love this

I bet Pat wishes they were the arrows his troop had used on that fateful day. Wink

Love both Kate and Wills' expressions in this photo.

Very, or even earlier. Shades of the pictures of the Romanov daughters (which is a sad connotation).

Queen Elizabeth the day of her coronation is pretty iconic.

There are so many iconic photos of Diana but this is one of favourites

The Fab 4 "back together"

This photo of H&M is very beautiful

Elizabeth and Philip were such an attractive couple. That engagement picture is so nice.

SheriffofRottingham · 06/03/2024 20:24

Not a photo - but a favourite royal portrait

William and Kate at the Olympics ❤️ so cute

Maireas · 06/03/2024 20:25

That Elizabeth portrait - just fantastic. What a woman.

Can't post on this phone but the photo from the Jubilee with George really looking and smiling at the Queen on her last appearance on the balcony.

AnnunciataM · 06/03/2024 20:26

Elizabeth I has a vague look of a young Princess Anne in that portrait!

Interesting, because that one does have a "picture put up a a funeral" vibe about it to me.

Maireas · 06/03/2024 20:28

Candleabra · 06/03/2024 20:25

I love this one

That is so gorgeous 😍

Lifeinlists · 06/03/2024 20:29

I've always liked these two - taken by Annie Leibovitz

The one with the gt grandchildren and the Wessex grandchildren is like a painting. The one with Princess Anne is very natural and quite unusual to see them in an ' off duty' mother and daughter relaxed pose.

The quality of this photo is not great but I love it because of the late Queen’s mischievous look!

Agree!

Fab thread!
I do love the photo of Kate at the Coronation - partly because it also gives 'about to break the 4th wall' vibes..
