The Event Horizon by jaychong
** view on black please ** Another masterful burn prediction from legendary weatherman Jeff Lewis. Actually what he said was, "it's going to be a very short burn". Short it was, as it lasted only a few minutes but did it every blow up the sky for me. It was difficult to get a steady shot as it was high tide and I had no rock foreground so I had to stand in stand and get pounded by waist high waves. I had to time to click the shutter with the least amount of vibration caused by the tide flowing out. I usually like the lines produced by outgoing tide water than incoming. Personal taste is all. Since its high tide, the volume of water pulling out and flowing in was tremendous and I had to make sure I was well planted or i'd topple over. I went for a darker style processing to really accentuate the color. Techy Stuff: 3 exposure blend. 1 for the sky, 2 for the water. 1 Blended 2 tide shots mins apart. #escaype #sunsetforecasting #sunset #bayarea #burn via 500px http://bit.ly/1yMGrZK

Lofoten flow by FelixInden
The typical way of sleeping on Lofoten islands as a tourist are these red cabins called Rorbuer in norwegian. This is definitly the most authentic way to be placed at Lofoten.

Surgerunner II by alexnoriega
2015 Autumn in Olympic Tour with Alex Mody Private Workshops and Tours Private Online Post-Processing Instruction Via Skype Like my Facebook Page Intensely red sunset afterglow permeates low fog, as giant waves recede on the incredible sandstone formations of Oregon's Cape Kiwanda. I recently found myself here for about the dozenth time. While similar compositions have been done here before (see Ryan Dyar's excellent image that initially inspired me to check out this spot a few years back), I'm not going to turn down shooting it again with atmospheric conditions like these coinciding with the proper tides. http://bit.ly/1AVM6ya via 500px http://bit.ly/1Bvn7C2

Grand Canyon Winter Wonderland 1 by NhtPhm
I've been postponing my Grand Canyon in snow series for awhile, so today I need to upload one. This is my 3rd time coming to Grand Canyon NP. And this is the first time I saw too much snow. The snow even got to the bottom of the canyon. This was taken on New Year day after the storm. We traveled by car from Orange County to Grand Canyon and it took us over 20 hours to get to the hotel due to the freeway closure. We thought this was the worse trip ever, but gladly we got there safely and the beauty of Grand Canyon in the winter has changed that thought. This is one of the best trip ever after all! :) This is one of my favorite shots. I love the lone tree and the lines of cracks in the foreground that lead to the beautiful background. I wish I had a wider lens to get more thing into the photo. But I'm happy with this shot anyways. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day/night everyone! :) Photographed by: Nhut Pham Location: Grand Canyon National Park, CA Social Network: Nhut Pham Fine Art American | 500PX | Website | Flickr | Facebook Page via 500px http://bit.ly/1y7eCMy

Cold Christmas Quicksilt Clover Crystal Cave II by JohnathanEsper
"Cold Christmas Quicksilt Clover Crystal Cave" Version II ......this one's just a composite of 4 images manually blended for focus and exposure. This image represents the fulfillment of a long time photographic goal of mine to photograph the aurora borealis through an ice cave. There's a crazy story behind this image. I was so tired of only doing 'easy' shots with my big 12-client photo groups that I was determined to get this unique shot no matter what. I was trying for weeks to get to this ice cave on a night with strong auroras. One week in December was terrible weather and strong winds and we had to shelter in place in Hof for a few days. Then finally the weather cleared and auroras were forecasted and as I started up my vehicle in the Jokulsarlon parking lot to drive to the ice cave via 4x4 road, my clutch went on the car, and I had to get it towed to Hofn, were it sat for a couple weeks while I was leading other photo tours in Iceland. I then had a 2 day window between two tours I was leading, from 23-25 December over Christmas. I took an 8 hour bus out to Hofn arriving at night, but I had prearranged for keys to be left in my unlocked car. Unfortunately, a few weeks before this, I had my car repainted, and in the process they took off the doors and then re-attached a side door light doing me a favour, but since the strong Icelandic winds blow open my car doors and bend the hinges, the door doesn't close easily and the mechanic left the light on in the car and drained the battery dead. After going around town and having locals call up the mechanic at home, he came out and gave me a jumpstart. I drove out to Vestrahorn and slept in my car that night, planning on going to the ice cave the next day on 24 December. But in the morning when I awoke my battery was again dead, so I spent the whole morning walking to a nearby farm and bothering him on this this very family-oriented holiday in Iceland. $40 for a jumpstart was the going price, ouch! I was finally on my way to the ice cave. But this week was much snowier than normal, and the 4x4 track to the glacier was covered in pretty deep snow with rutted tracks from the other superjeeps with monster tires that go the cave daily (except over Christmas of course). So, I put my faith in my beloved "Big Bad Brown Betty" vehicle, with it's normal sized 4wd tires, and hoped I wouldn't get stuck. I was bouncing all over the place, bottoming out in the deep ruts, and after a couple kilometers, grounded to a halt, completely stuck. The crusty snow was stranding my car in the center without weight on the wheels. I took out my ice axe (I had no shovel), and spent about 3 hours trying to chop out the snow from under the car, but I was really stuck. So, with night falling, I abandoned my car and hiked for 2 more hours to the ice cave, figuring I'd worry about my car on Christmas day. I carried my sleeping bag and camera gear. When I got the cave, no auroras were out yet, so I went exploring to the back recesses of the cave where no one else had been before. In the dark in the ice cave, I couldn't see so well, and was crawling across some sheets of ice, when the ice started breaking up around me. Then I started quickly sinking into extremely soft glacial silt mud, just like quicksand, nearly up to my waist in a matter of seconds. It was very scary, just as if you had fallen through thin ice on a lake. Trying to walk out of it wasn't an option as I kept sinking. When I tried to grab and push myself up onto the ice sheets around me, they all broke up and crumbled around me. I was really scared, and had the terrible feeling of what it would be like to die by suffocation in quick-silt. So I thought quickly about what to do if you fall through lake ice, and tried the same technique of rolling onto my side, and rolling up onto the thin ice covering the glacial silt quicksand, to distribute my weight. This thankfully worked, and I slid and crawled back to stable snow, but in the process I was covered head to toe in cold wet mud. So I had to take off my outer layers and my down coat, and just then the auroras started showing very strongly through the ice cave roof skylight. So for the next 3 hours I was using two cameras to photograph the auroras through the ice cave roof. One camera for a time-lapse sequence, one camera exposure and focus bracketed for panoramas to obtain wider field of view than even my 14mm lens gave me. Shivering cold, probably mildly hypothermic, I kept on photographing. When my batteries died, I crawled into my sleeping bag in the open air under the ice cave, but there was a cold wind blowing through the cave all night so I never really warmed up. Next morning I was very cold still but the thing you have to do is just start moving, so I left my sleeping bag and tripod behind in the cave (my ice cave guide friends could pick it up for me the next day I figured, since I didn't want to carry it 2 hours back to the car), and started hiking back to the car. I was pretty thirsty, and found some running water under the snow in one place. After a couple more hours trying to futilely dig my car out, on Christmas day afternoon a big group of people I know from Hali guesthouse came by in a truck, and they pushed me out. I drove back on Christmas to Reykjavik, and met my tour group the next morning at 6am at the airport. End of story! via 500px http://bit.ly/15H9qYd
Lava DemiGod by Joel_Santos
In the volcano Erta Ale, Ethiopia, some shy eruptions warns you about the presence of a lava lake, a rare natural phenomenon on our planet. Gradually, the activity ceases and the murmur becomes a black and opaque silence, mimicking its hardened surface. Time runs slowly, but it’s disturbed by the hiss of the contained pressure; the volcano’s anxiety increases and, in its core, an eruption shatters the crust and, like a divine act, triggers a chain reaction, breaking up the lake’s surface in tens of lava bursts rising in the air, increasing the surrounding temperature up to an intolerable level, capable of drying and cracking our skin. Shortly after, the lava’s drumming begins to slow down; the vibrant yellows and oranges become a dry and viscous hue of these colours, falling slowly into a solid, quiet and calm state. The scars heal and close, ending a cycle that, when this demigod volcano desires, will be repeated until the mother of all eruptions create a new lava lake, somewhere in the hottest place on Earth. © Joel Santos - www.joelsantos.net via 500px http://bit.ly/15Lcx0R

GOLDEN ROBE by EdwinMartinez
JEWELS OF THE LAKE | Lake Louise, Banff National Park | January 2015 It snowed that morning and weather was not looking good, huge cloud banks were forming in the east and also were coming from the west. I positioned myself near the unfrozen part of creek and hoped for the best light. The best light usually comes as a result of intermittent weather. via 500px http://bit.ly/1zP3MjG

SCATTERED REALM by EdwinMartinez
As the sun rose and filled the mountain ranges with golden light, I hurriedly positioned myself to capture the alpen glow. It came in fast and stayed for a short while. I was left with these cluster of bubbles and framed my scene leading towards the golden mountains. Taken in Abraham Lake recently from a photo safari.

Snowcapped Starlight by ZackClothier
I took a trip up to Glacier at the beginning of the new year to do some ski touring and photographing. While I was there at least two feet of fresh powder fell, obscuring much of the mountain views but making for some excellent skiing. After not getting much photography in I decided to extend my stay by a couple of days to wait out the storm. I used this time to scout the extensive shoreline along Lake McDonald for interesting comps. I'm sure glad I decided to wait it out because the skies cleared just before sunset on this particular evening and I was able to make this image of Lake McDonald and the Big Dipper rising above Stanton Peak and Mount Vaught.

blue ice by Rodney_Trenchard
Firstly I would like to say a thanks to Ted Gore for helping me tighten this one up. Ted does Skype post production like most of the leading guys do now. I have spent time learning from all of them over years and let me tell you that they all have something new and unique that they can teach you and Ted is no exception. Anyway onto the image!! All us shooters from the land down under know this spot. It is the base of mount Cook and to me it is one of the most amazing and exhilarating places on earth. Imagine the roar of the glacial river and cracking of the ice.... the silence of the darkness being slowly filled by stunning moonlight. Then if you can get these things in your minds eye then you may have some perception of this place. There is a Aussie shooter who has been shooting these ice burgs for awhile now and for me he still has the strongest images ever produced from this spot. Kah Kit is a shooter I have admired for many years and I remember standing there thinking " I wonder if this is where Kah Kit stood"? Not because I wanted to copy him but because I was inspired by the presence of the shooters who have shoot here before me. I hope that in some small way I lived up to the class of photographers who make this place a regular stop. If you get the chance please visit Kah Kit Yoongs page and see what I am talking about.

Mt Fuji coming out from behind the clouds by inefekt69
Taken from Mt Takao on the fringe of Tokyo's metropolitan area. I had waited for quite a while for the clouds to break but it seemed as if they never would so I started to walk back to the ropeway but something made me turn around for one last look. In that time Fuji had started to appear so I stuck around and took a bunch of photos, including those near the top of my photostream which reveal more of the famous mountain. http://flic.kr/p/pWYaef

Iceland. Hvitserkur by oskinpavel
Эту легендарную точку съемки под простеньким названием Хвитсеркур я еще вам не показывал, или показывал, но не в таком волшебном обрамлении пылающего рассветного неба. Это был мой четвертый рассвет на этой точке за все годы, что был в Исландии, но повезло впервые. Свет был просто чумовой! Небо зажигалось, зажигалось, и когда солнце буквально на минутку показало нос сквозь маленькую дырочку облаков, полыхнуло нипадецки! Рядом со нами работало еще 3 интернейшнл-фотографа, надо было видеть, как они суетили, чтобы загнать солнышко под нос «динозаврику», под брюхо и т.п., а я медленно спустился с горы и снял один кадрик, мне кажется, что все тут совершенно! А я это люблю! Подробнее тут http://bit.ly/1xK6i5h via 500px http://bit.ly/1xK6i5j
