I grabbed random photos from my reviews for the community icon and banner so we'd have something right away, but I think it would be fun to have rotating community contributions.

Post flashlight-related images that are your original content in replies. Upvote images you like. The image with the most upvotes on Monday, June 19 will become our banner for at least a month.

Disclaimers:

  • We'll ignore downvotes
  • Images should be suitable for the roughly 3:1 crop of the desktop banner and the squarer formats used for mobile and the sidebar
  • Images should be on-topic and tasteful
  • Mods may disqualify submissions for reasons I haven't thought of yet

It's hard to make something work with a 3:1 and a square crop. Edit: changed the crop.

Yes, the approach I took was to use an image with the subject smaller in the frame and a lot of foreground/background that's arguably pleasant to look at, but irrelevant.
