Galatica Electrica by DanielCheong1



One of those lucky nights... I was meant to shoot the milky way, but when we reached the location, there was a thunderstorm starting with lightning strikes every 30 seconds. What a fantastic opportunity to shoot the Milky Way with lightning! My website: http://bit.ly/1ybDtgX Follow me on Facebook | Instagram via 500px http://bit.ly/1B5L7BF

Crystalline Chamber by JustinGrimm



Very rarely do I find a composition that I am truly thrilled about at first glance. However, after crawling my body down into this small winter window I was extremely excited about what I saw through the camera. There is something about organized complexity in images that is very hard to find and pull off, and this spot checked every box on my list of things I hoped to find. Over the course of three and a half days I focused all my attention on shooting these icicles. I honestly don't even want to mention how many hours I was laying on the ice. I will say though, If anyone is interested you can see the melted outline of my body here until spring. Even though this cave looks relatively large, the longest icicles pictured are barely over a foot high. This made for a tight squeeze and a technical nightmare to photograph, however by using some focus blending techniques I was able to render the entire scene sharp. Though unlike my typical perfectionist ways, I could not use a tripod for the massive focus stack. Instead I had to resort to using one of the greatest inventions of this century as my camera support....A box of Wet Wipes. The best dual purpose item ever in my opinion. Dual purpose, but only SINGLE USE!!! Don't get it twisted. All kidding aside, I hope you enjoy the image as mush as I do even if it is relatively subdued. Although I have witnessed some truly incredible light and natural conditions over the past year, this would have to be my personal favourite and most inspired composition to date. ***If you are interested in learning the techniques used to capture this image over Skype lesson, or curious about taking a private Rocky Mountain photo tour, please use my personal email address.

Freezing by piriya



What you see here is methane bubbles were trapped under an ice surface at Abraham Lake. This photo was shot at the same day as my previous "-20". I spent 4 days 3 nights at Abraham lake. Unfortunately it was snowing for two days two nights. This was from the morning after snow storm stopped, which was usually gonna be extremely cold (super super cold for a Californian like me). The temperature dropped down to -35C (wind chill -39C). It was one of the coldest temperature I experienced. At least the wind was not too bad that morning. This spot is basically a 30-degree slope. It is kinda annoying when my tripod kept sliding down when I was trying to do focus stack :D. via 500px http://bit.ly/176GoSf

Netherworld by Pcoskun



An image I photographed over the weekend while visiting one of my favorite locations in the SW. With the forecast predicting predominately blue skies over the weekend, I was treated to a great sunset over this alien landscape. The clouds seemed to be just where I wanted them for the few images I took during my time out here. While I know that this feature has been photographed plenty, I had always wanted my own shot of it with some great light, and I might have managed to get it here. via 500px http://bit.ly/1CRcmjg

A Magic Night by ShihuaZhang



Please view with Black background :) I took this shot at Bombo last year, 110 Km from Sydney. The rock formation at Bombo are really dark, almost appear to be black during the night. At the beginning we were trying to lighten the foreground up with headlight, but the result wasn't acceptable as the reflection was too bright. After a while, cloud started to appear, which bounced the light to the foreground and produced a better result via 500px http://bit.ly/1zpTaGx

Bending waves by Paolo73



This beautiful wave was grabbed with a long exposure to emphasize its circular path due to a submerged cliff causing the wave front bending. Amazing thing: here we're in the well known spot where all the people takes picture of Manarola and I was the only guy looking down to the cliff! via 500px http://bit.ly/1DFi6cD

Thy Kingdom Come by williampatino



Resurrected at the rising of the sun, the voice of the sea cries aloud. The old is made momentarily new as the rays of dawn spread hope upon this desolate earth. WP Website via 500px http://bit.ly/16rKNPB

Three islands in the middle of the atlantic ocean by die-leuchtturms



I think, this is my best picture of the azorean central group. It shows many facets from setting the sun on the right to the moon on the left side. The picture was captured from southern coast of São Jorge round about 140 m above sea level in the Bay of Arraia. The foreground shows the typical grazing areas of the Azores, separated by walls made of lava rocks. The background left boasts the island of Pico. The stratovolcano, which gave the name for the whole island, is with 2.351 m the highest mountain of Portugal. On the right hand side is situated Faial. The sea between São Jorge and Pico is approximately 20 km broad. This Panorama, stiched from 34 Images at 70mm with 167 degrees horizontal angle of view, was captured at sunset four days before full moon. Wahrscheinlich mein bestes Bild von den Zentralgruppe der Azoren. Es zeigt viele Facetten von der untergehenden Sonne rechts und dem Mond auf der linken Seite. Das Bild wurde auf der Südseite von São Jorge, etwa 140 Höhenmeter oberhalb der Bucht von Arraia aufgenommen. Der Vordergrund zeigt die für die Azoren typischen Weideflächen, die durch Mauern aus Lavastein getrennt sind. Im Hintergrund auf der linken Seite liegt die Insel Pico mit dem 2.351 m hohem Stratovulkan, dem höchsten Berg Portugals, welcher der Insel den Namen gibt. Rechts davon ist die Insel Faial zu sehen. Das Meer ist zwischen São Jorge und Pico etwa 20 km breit. Das Panorama aus 34 Einzelbildern bei 70mm Brennweite mit einem horizontalen Bildwinkel von 167 Grad entstand bei Sonnenuntergang vier Tage vor Vollmond. via 500px http://bit.ly/1x4lTLu
